Received email to check the portal. Generic rejection letter. Excepted, but still sad of course.

So excited!!!!!

Old and outdated program director Francis Fukuyama and previous director Chonira Aturupane have runied the program. Need a native american and progressive admissions selection committee.

Have a master's from a top state school and an undergrad from an Ivy.

Fiction - Rejection letter: Thank you for your application for a Stegner Fellowship. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer you a place in the program. However, we wanted to let you know that your application was read with great care and appreciation. It is through the vibrancy and commitment of work like yours that the program is able to depend on an applicant pool of immense talent. Every year, after reading the submissions, all of us wish we had more fellowships to offer. We encourage you to apply again as many applicants selected for the fellowship applied more than one time.

email to check portal. found rejection on portal. I think the rejection might be tiered? Did others get the same rejection? Here's what mine (poetry) said: "Unfortunately, we are unable to offer you a place in the program. However, we wanted to let you know that your application was read with great care and appreciation.

refreshed the status page and saw the update. congrats to everyone that got in!

This is my ultimate dream program and I am still shaking in disbelief. Anything is possible! Do not let a bad GPA deter you from giving it your all!!

No email. Checked portal

They did not accept the GRE (even if you sent it, they would not consider you in the application)

Old and outdated program director Francis Fukuyama (japan) and previous director Chonira Aturupane (possibly sri lankan) have runied the program. Very discrimnatory on south asians by these two. Need a native american and progressive admissions selection committee. I am glad not selected.
