I've already accepted a different program, but rejection is never fun :(

Will likely be declining but hooray! Don't have any particular feelings about shrimp.

Rejection had a note thanking me for my application, which is nice, but I was desperate for a waitlist if just for my fragile little ego.

Email linking to portal with status update and form letter. 1a/2w/14r

Received the "Status Update" email with a link redirecting me to the portal. Nice little touch of adding confetti and streamers to the acceptance letter. Offer is not fully funded but does include a paid TAship and two fellowships (one being the Diversity Recruitment Fellowship, the other a one-time fellowship from the English dept.). Unfortunately, I'll be turning this offer down as I've already committed to a different program. 5a/1w/4r/1p

No email. I checked the application portal and found the status update. 1a/0w/2r/1p.

Received a non-personalized letter. Not surprising as their submission date was so early I hadn't finished my best work yet. And it was a long shot to begin with. Good luck to those who got in!

Postmarked 3/16 (but the letter's dated 3/5). No note. Oddly motivating! At least this is almost over. 0a/1w/9r/1p

Post marked 3/5
