- Notes
- I received an generic email from Alabama saying that my application was still being reviewed. I found it odd since it was so late into the application process and I'd seen people here saying they'd been accepted off of the wait list more than a month ago. I finally called in to see what was going on and the woman explained to me that there was a technical difficulty between departments. So my application is in some limbo where I don't have an official decision even though the woman told me that all decisions had been made. Very disappointed in that outcome. Seems incredibly unprofessional for a school to keep me in limbo like that. I was holding out hope when I could have been looking for new jobs and gearing up for taking the GRE's for next fall's applications. I don't expect to get an apology, but it seems like I should be given one. I'm not happy with the way MFA rejects are handled. Just thought I'd vent and let people know about a case of a bad MFA application experience.
