email to check portal. I was waiting for this rejection tbh as I knew they had already sent out acceptances & waitlists a while back.

English minor, health allied major. Had some excellent recommendations and a strong resume (volunteered teaching creative writing to high schoolers, some publication history). I did specifically mention wanting to write with Rita Dove, but heard later from a mentor that apparently her health is suffering right now and she is not teaching very actively, which may have affected their consideration. They were my #4 school.

English minor, health allied major. Had some excellent recommendations and a strong resume (volunteered teaching creative writing to high schoolers, some publication history). I did screw up the critique essay-- the prompt on the website and the prompt in the application form were different and I had written based on what was on the website (analyzed someone else's work rather than my own). Attached an apology letter to the front of the critique explaining the situation. Not sure if this was what caused the rejection or if they just didn't really vibe with my sample. They were my #5 school.

Generic rejection letter on portal

Receive an email to check the portal. Status letter was hosted there. Text as follows: We have received your application and supporting documents for admission to the Graduate School. After careful consideration, the faculty of the Creative Writing program to which you applied have not recommended your admission. Their decision was based on the requirements of their particular program, which may include, the qualifications and performance of students currently studying in the program, and/or the number of new students that the program can accommodate and support. I support their decision and therefore cannot offer you admission. I appreciate your interest in the graduate programs at North Carolina State University, and I wish you well in your future endeavors. Sincerely, Peter Harries, Dean

email to check portal. Not sure if I got funding, though---the website says they do 3 competitive scholarships each year, and I wonder if since it didn't say in the letter, I didn't get it. But if I didn't get funding, I'm not going, LOL. 3a/2w/2r/1p
