Email to check portal for update. This one was for the Michener Center. Form rejection. 1a/5r/16p

Received an email saying I’m a finalist for a nonfiction spot at OSU. Still excited even though it’s not an acceptance! my top school by a long shot.

Not a ton of publication / writing experience, just wanted to see what would happen if I went for it this season! So, not super surprised. Received a standard rejection email from the department head. Good luck to everyone waiting to hear back! 0a/2r/0w/3p

decision sent via email :(

knew this one was coming after seeing the facebook draft spreadsheet notifs. 3 schools left "The MFA admissions committee has finished reviewing applications, and I’m very sorry to inform you that we are not able to offer you a spot at Oregon State University for Fall 2025. The competition is always fierce, and we can never admit as many students as we would like. A second, automated email will arrive in the next day or two from the OSU Graduate School. We wish you all the best and thank you for your interest in our program."

UT Michener. Got an email to check the portal at about midnight. 0a/1r/0w/6p

I am writing to let you know that we have not been able to recommend you for admission to the Masters of Fine Arts program in Creative Writing at Syracuse University. This is a complicated judgment which depends a great deal on the abilities and opinions of those instructors here who must be able to feel that they could clearly serve the development of your writing. Their consensus not to recommend admission to the program should in no way be interpreted as a discouragement of your writing. I know this news disappoints you, and I want to express my sincere best wishes for success in your alternate plans for graduate study. Thank you for your interest in Syracuse.

Found out through the application portal. A little hurt by this one, but I keep on reflecting that maybe it is meant to be and it

"Your application for admission to the Graduate School at Cornell University has been given careful consideration by the Graduate Field of Literatures in English. I'm very sorry to say that we are unable to offer you admission to our M.F.A. graduate program for Fall 2025. This was a very difficult decision, since we received hundreds of applications for very few places in the program. We had to turn down a number of very talented people with very impressive records, many of whom no doubt will go on to distinguished careers. This email will serve as your only notification of your application results. We appreciate your interest in Cornell, and wish you success in your graduate studies. Thank you for sharing your work with us." Congrats to those who got in, and who didn't, hey, we'll get in somewhere, where we're meant to be :)
