Nice email. Had an applicant pool of 200.

Email said most applications ever. 10% acceptance rate across the English department with some programs (probably the MFA) as low as 3%.

Just declined admission offer. Hope someone else can use it.

BU's email was by far the most polite rejection I've received.

The letter said that I'm an "alternative." I didn't even know Long Beach had a waiting list (if this is what it is). It was a nicely worded letter informing me that only 6 fictioneers and 6 poets were admitted out of a crazy good selection. I've already accepted an offer elsewhere, so congrats to those accepted! I bet the cohort's awesome!

Full funding via TAship. I'm probably going to accept. I just declined my position at Emerson for all you wait listed folks. Good luck!

Passed on an unfunded spot, so if there's an anxious waitlistee, here you go?

No word on funding, but I'm staying hopeful. This is my top choice.

Declined offer due other options, but this is a fine program. Faculty was my primary point of diliberation. That, and location, but the former was more detrimental than the latter in my decision to decline.

I emailed Linda Z. and was told that I'm third on the waiting list.
