- Notes
- The Illinois English Department has completed its graduate admissions deliberations, and I am indeed sorry to report that we will not be able to offer you admission for the 2026-2027 academic year. This decision should not be taken as a sign that our readers did not enjoy reading your work: due to this year's budgetary restrictions, we have been unable to admit dozens of candidates who could thrive at the graduate level. In the end, we admitted fewer than 10% of the applicants for graduate study in our department, making this an especially competitive admissions cycle. We hope that you will be able to pursue your goals for advanced study in another context, and we wish you the very best success in your scholarly or creative endeavors. Many thanks for your interest in our program, and for all of the time and energy that you put into your application.
