- Thank you for your application to the English M.A. Program at Oregon State University. I write now to inform you that you have been placed on a short waitlist for admittance to our program. We received a large number of excellent applications this year—far more than we are able to accept, given our interest in maintaining a fully funded program. We reviewed each application carefully, paying particular attention to each candidate’s research statement, writing sample, previous academic record, and relevant professional activities. We then compared each application with applications that fell within the same research area so as not to overload any potential faculty mentor in our program. When considered within this system, your application was among the best applications we reviewed. Every year, our program receives a set number of GTAships to distribute among incoming students. At present, we have sent contracts to that number of applicants and we await their decisions. Should an offer be declined or should other funding sources emerge, we will extend an invitation to an applicant from our waitlist in accordance with the review system outlined above. The national deadline for acceptances to funded English graduate programs is April 15th, and we hope to provide all waitlist candidates with a firm decision before that date. Thank you very much for giving us the opportunity to review your work. Our graduate committee was incredibly impressed with your application, and we hope to you will keep us posted on your continued interest in Oregon State.
