After receiving a rejection from Harvard I found this message in my spam folder… “ Thank you for your application to the Cornell Graduate School for the Fall 2025 term. All applications have been given careful consideration by the Field of Linguistics and we regret that your application has not been approved. Due to the high number of applications and the limited number of students who can be accepted, many strong applicants could not be offered admission. We appreciate your interest in Cornell Linguistics and wish you success in continuing your studies. Sincerely, Sarah Murray Director of Graduate Studies Field of Linguistics Cornell University “ I’m hoping to have more luck with Texas University…

Dear [Student], Your application for admission to the Graduate School at Cornell University has been given careful consideration by the Graduate Field of Literatures in English. I'm very sorry to say that we are unable to offer you admission to our M.F.A. graduate program for Fall 2025.

This email will serve as your only notification of your application results. We appreciate your interest in Cornell, and wish you success in your graduate studies. Thank you for sharing your work with us. Yours truly, Lindsay Thomas
