Rejection from the alma mater stings a little!

Form rejection.

Form rejection...not an encouraging way to kick off this season, but oh well! Not a top choice for me anyway. Mac n cheese. 0a/0w/1r/6p

I am sorry to inform you that we are unable to admit you to the Helen Zell Writers' Program at the University of Michigan. You should not view this as a reflection on your ability: we received over 800 applicants this year, and the limited size of our program means that we can admit only 2.25% from this very strong pool. The process of selecting students for the incoming class is one that our admissions committee takes very seriously. We must make fine distinctions among highly qualified applicants, many of whom could be successful in our program. We regret that in so doing we must turn away many writers who have impressed us. I hope that you receive a more favorable decision from another program and that you will continue to pursue your interest in creative writing.

Aww :(

"We received over 800 applicants this year, and the limited size of our program means that we can admit only 2.25% from this very strong pool." It's nice to get some closure. I'm primarily a nonfiction writer, so I'm hoping the nonfiction programs I applied to have a more favorable answer.

TTPB. Ignore waitlist Congrats on your admission! Have you received any official communication yet and do you know if others have been accepted too?

8/10, Asian, Decent research (2) and industry experience (2), 1 conf in press, 2 journal drafts ready (mentioned in lors). Could have been rejected for low GPA or No GRE. Other good/great profiles (>2 yrs work-ex, and GPA) have also been rejected and a common aspect is the lack of GRE.
