- Dear Applicant [Yes, Applicant *skull*], Thank you for applying to the Creative Writing Program at Boston University and for your patience during the admissions process. I am sorry to say that we will not be able to offer you a space in next year's class. You will receive a formal notice from the graduate school in the days to come. Our MFA program received hundreds of applications for the eight openings in poetry and ten in fiction for the 2023-2024 academic year, making our decisions very difficult. Unfortunately, due to the number of applications received, we will not be able to provide individual feedback to applicants. We are aware that the selection process is far from perfect, though we try our best to be fair. This result should not be discouraging. You should know that sometimes applicants have been accepted on the second, or even the third, try—and flourished. Certainly, we wish you the best of luck, and continued work, with your writing. This one hurts. I hope I get off of that other waitlist *cries* 0a/1w/4r/3p
