Just got home from work and saw that I got a letter from UC Irvine--still rejected, but it had a very lovely handwritten note on it from Michelle Latiolais. Sort of mood-bolstering in its own way.
@KennyK As of the time of writing there's one fiction acceptance and one nonfiction acceptance. Both notified via phone call yesterday. Hope that's helpful, and I'm rooting for you!!
Frankly amazed that JH even bothered to send me a rejection, seeing as it turns out that one of my recommenders didn't submit a letter 🙃
Ah well. Danielle Evans, I will continue to admire your work from afar.
