sent March 1st....note from Lan Samantha Chang (Thanks for the strong application)

Any word on Alabama this late in the game? Do they triage applications, read until spots are full, and sit on the rest? Looks like they're done admitting. All e-mails to the English department have gone unanswered. ???

boom! 7a/0w/4r, 9 pending. (@ the other person asking -- don't give up! i only just received the email!)

I'm on the wait list & rejected by everywhere else... was anyone accepted and thinking of not going? If this isn't the year for me then it isn't the year for me but god I'd love to get in.

Signed with a major lit agent yesterday, rejected from yet another program today (with no note!) These programs clearly need to reconsider their criteria. You can teach fancy prose, but you can't teach appeal. 0a/1w/6r/6p

With funding!!!

Letter postmarked 3/5. Anybody accepted to the fiction program w/ an embarrassment of riches thinking about enrolling elsewhere and feel comfortable enough to post about it on this forum? : )

"This is strong work. Please re-apply" 1a/3r/1w/0p

Got the "thanks for this strong application" note

Form rejection letter.

Not even a note!

A beautiful handwritten note that said, “Thank you for the shitty application. Better luck next time, scrub.” :-P No note for me! I must sincerely suck!

Handwritten note from Sam Chang: "Thank you for your strong application. You were a finalist."

Has there been any acceptances or rejections for Notre Dame? I noticed the waitlist, but have yet to see any other action. Does anyone know anything?

“Thank you for the strong application — S.” Congrats to those accepted and waitlisted!

With a very sweet handwritten note: "[Story title] is beautiful. Please reapply. -S" SIGH 0a/2w/6r/2p
