Waitlisted notified via email. 1w/3p/0r

"Your name is currently on our waitlist for admission to the creative writing MFA program. While I know this isn’t the best news, it is an accomplishment. We have to reject far more capable students than we can accept right away or place on the waitlist. Please let me know if you accept a position in another program. We will, of course, let you know if a spot opens for you at Hollins. Spots do open. Our waitlist is not ranked; admission from it depends on a number of variables. You are likely to hear no further news from us until after April 14. Congratulations on your fine work, and good luck in your writing life."

5-star supports from Prof. Kiley during the application process and what a minefield of editorial blunders I had laid in this first draft. Hearts for the kind rejection letter that read: "It's an unfortunate truth of the writing life that rejection comes more often than acceptance". The people behind this program were so awesome that they even sent me a personalized rejection letter through email. (I knew I didn't deserve it, one character had different names in different paragraphs T_T)
