University Of Toronto	English In The Field Of Creative Writing, Masters (F19)	Rejected via Postal Service on 5 Apr 2019		6 Apr 2019	Canadian. Heard previously after email query that I was not accepted. Received official letter via post. It was short, concise, and honestly nice. I was impressed after reading the negative comments from prior years. The worst letter, most discouraging was from UG-MFA.
Penn State (Pennsylvania State University)	English, Masters (F19)	Rejected via Other on 6 Apr 2019		5 Apr 2019	I emailed them directly to act about the status of my application & they replied letting me know there wasn’t room for me in the program. I don’t know why they’ve been waiting so long to send out rejections, it’s kind of ridiculous!
Penn State (Pennsylvania State University)	English, Other (F19)	Other via Other on 6 Apr 2019	A	5 Apr 2019	To the poster(s) below, the accepted students visit to PSU was March 24-26. There were 12 of us there, some who got into the MA/PhD, and a few who had already earned MAs at other institutions and got into the PhD program. I think a good amount of the people at the visit were leaning towards Penn State or had only been accepted there. Those who have not heard yet, you're probably on an unofficial waitlist as they made what seemed rolling acceptances this season (I heard in mid-February while others heard in late January).

Penn State University	English, PhD (F19)	Rejected via E-mail on 5 Apr 2019	A	5 Apr 2019	Also got the rejection email and could not believe how impersonal and informal it was for APRIL 5. Also, did anyone get accepted for the PhD program this year? I never saw anyone post acceptances, only for the Masters program. Geez, at least personalize it with applicant names!
Penn State (Pennsylvania State University)	English, PhD (F19)	Rejected via E-mail on 5 Apr 2019	A	5 Apr 2019	Honestly awful. Waited until April 5 to send an e-mail that begins with “dear APPLICANT.” Couldn’t even out my name in it. “Dear Applicant, Thank you for your patience as the admissions season progresses. I'm writing to let you know that we are not going to have space in our program this year for you. We only have a limited number of spaces (twelve to be exact), and everyone in our program is fully funded. I'm sorry the news isn't better.”

Because we make so few initial offers, I cannot now offer you a place in the entering class. However, you are now on a very select wait list for admission. I understand that this is not an ideal outcome for you, but I want to emphasize that it really is a considerable achievement given the number and quality of the applicant pool."
