Your Application to the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences From Boston University - Graduate School of Arts and Sciences hide details create a rule Sent Tuesday, April 7, 2020 at 9:02 AM Encrypted No Dear Jessica Mensah, The Admissions Committee has carefully reviewed your application for admission to the MFA degree program in Creative Writing within the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. We regret to inform you that your application has been denied. Due to intense competition, we must in many cases deny admission even to highly qualified candidates. We appreciate your interest in Boston University, and we wish you the very best in your academic pursuits. Sincerely, Martin Gastmann Assistant Director of Admissions & Financial Aid I feel hurt but mostly because I have been watching too much Covid-19 news. Like, even if I got into BU, it would not have been the same for Fall 2020 due to the wild virus. I like the idea behind the program so much that I want those to got in to have the most funnest time??

FINALLY

Had been 1st on waitlist.

Several research experience, all focusing on CV&ML. No pub. Not going anyway. GRE: 170/157/4.

A generic email informing that it was competitive and many qualified applicants have been turned away. 1a/1w/0p

To those who got admissions, if you have better options, please turn this offer down ASAP. My last chance! Thank you very much!!!!

Finally! At long last, I can say, BU? More like PU!! Amiright??

Emailed them last week asking about my status, got the rejection email today

To those that have an offer from Boston and arent going please kindly reject your offer. Every one waitlisted would appreciate it. Thank you.

BU poster below who hasn't heard back: Check your inbox carefully. I was like you and thought I hadn't heard back. For some reason, their e-mail wasn't in my inbox when they first sent it (I checked after seeing other posters). I checked spam, and it wasn't there either. I refreshed a few times and there was nothing. A day later, the e-mail was in the middle of my inbox and the time stamp suggested that it was sent the day before (at a time when I was looking for it). I'm assuming that it was filtered in and out of my spam folder on some kind of weird loop. Google didn't even automatically mark their e-mail as important, so I'm assuming that their algorithm mistakes it for spam for some people. Basically, I would check your spam folder and/or go back to the day that they sent the rejections (March 30th) to see if the same thing happened to you.

Has anyone else not received any word at all from BU？Seems that they've already sent out a batch of acceptances and rejections. The wait is killing me...

Excellent GPA, 4 strong recommendation letters, plus publications! I got rejected today after being on the wait list since Jan 17 without giving any interview. Fortunately I have a good offer from another place, which I am going to accept. Good luck everyone!
