Very bummed about this one. At least they ripped the bandaid off quicker than I was expecting.

It is in poor taste and very awful of JHU to just post a rude, one-line status on the site without emailing to let you know that it has been posted. The $75 processing fee does not offer courtesy, it seems.

A little happy about this actually. Goodbye Michigan!

Unfortunately your application into M.F.A. in Writing Seminars has been denied.

Did anyone else find this rejection a little unpleasant?

Emailed to ask, and received a form email back. From that email: "Because all of our students are admitted with aid, and because we try to maximize faculty/student contact, we only admit 16-20 graduate students a year out of about 400 applicants."

Saw all the other rejections, decided to check. Sure enough, I joined the ranks. Disappointed by the terse form letter.

Emailed to ask after seeing a very vague update to the website. First good news of the season!

Still in shock. Thrilled.

Checked the website: shocker...I knew I'd regret dropping $75 for this one...

Looks to be going around - I checked the website today based on gradcafe results and my rejection was just posted.

Notified via website first, then phone call

rejections being sent out in waves

first notification =(
