Rejected via email. Pretty devastated as I really wanted to go here, but I understand there are very few spots. Congratulations to those accepted and waitlisted. (8a/0w/2r/4p)

1a/2w/5r/2p

No email to check portal or anything. I just stumbled upon this rejection while obsessively checking all of my application statuses. I'm sure there will be an email to notify everyone else soon. Best of luck!

Did anyone else get an email? Received an email from Patrick Rosal, preview-able sentences read "Thank you for your application to the MFA program at Rutgers-Camden. We have read your application with great interest..." Since I'm checking this site more frequently than my own inbox, I assumed this was my acceptance letter. Then the reveal. "...Unfortunately, we are unable to recommend your admission at this time. Competition for admission was especially intense this year. Given the limited number of openings, we must turn away many qualified applicants. Decisions about admissions are a complicated judgment by our creative writing staff about our resources and those writers whom we feel we can most help. Please don’t take the admissions decision as discouragement about your writing. We truly wish it were possible to accommodate more writers of potential. I hope you will accept my best wishes for your future writing."

Checked portal. After all that writing, pining, and an expensive app fee, I am left with eleven words: "Your application has been reviewed, and the Committee has denied admission." (7a/1r/0w/4p)

Denied. 2a/6r/2p

"Your application has been reviewed, and the Committee has denied admission." woof. 1a/1w/4r/3p

Does anyone else from WVU plan on turning down their acceptance offer?

Has anyone been brave enough to contact BU? Do we know anything? Except for one "special case" in Poetry, I don't think I've seen any acceptances yet.

Rejected from IWW with a handwritten note that said: “Beautiful prose.” This one stung because as part of my writing sample, I sent them the first 60 pages of my novel (which I had never shown to anyone outside of friends and family). I suppose that at least is some feedback or semblance that they liked it. Waiting to hear back from 3 more programs. Let’s see how it goes. What a comfort and camaraderie this board has been. Good luck to those still waiting to hear and get confirmations.

Email with offer letter attached. Also available in Student Centre on MyConcordia. Thank you, Concordia! Feels good.

If Rutgers Camden accepted 5 applicants to each genre, they are done with acceptances, as I believe 5 new students in each genre is their target. Oh well.

Got the nicest email from Doug Unger. Really hope this turns into an acceptance!

I was sitting on my bed brushing my teeth when I noticed the email. Skimmed for the rejection and instead found myself (kindly) waitlisted and began sobbing (while foaming toothpaste). I don't care if nothing comes of this and the offer stagnates in waitlist-limbo. I'm shocked they've even considered me. Thank you UA Fayetteville for the ego boost. I needed it.
