The faculty in the Creative Writing MFA program, have completed a review of your application for admission to graduate study at the University of Minnesota. We have carefully considered all of your application materials, and unfortunately your admission has not been approved. There were a great many excellent applications, and therefore the final decision was very difficult. I sincerely regret that we are unable to approve your admission, and hope that our decision will not discourage you from pursuing further academic education or professional development. Please accept our best wishes for success in your future endeavors.

Not a ton of publication / writing experience, just wanted to see what would happen if I went for it this season! So, not super surprised. Received a standard rejection email from the department head. Good luck to everyone waiting to hear back! 0a/2r/0w/3p

decision sent via email :(

knew this one was coming after seeing the facebook draft spreadsheet notifs. 3 schools left "The MFA admissions committee has finished reviewing applications, and I’m very sorry to inform you that we are not able to offer you a spot at Oregon State University for Fall 2025. The competition is always fierce, and we can never admit as many students as we would like. A second, automated email will arrive in the next day or two from the OSU Graduate School. We wish you all the best and thank you for your interest in our program."

"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 was a very difficult decision, since we received hundreds of applications for very few places in the program. We had to turn down a number of very talented people with very impressive records, many of whom no doubt will go on to distinguished careers. 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." Congrats to those who got in, and who didn't, hey, we'll get in somewhere, where we're meant to be :)
