The only rejection I've got right now is Brown and it was pretty standard, "You're cool, but not right for me" kind of thing. I can't imagine opening my status and seeing, "DENIED A-HOLE!"

It's funny that the ONLY two schools that offer this option are so insanely far apart, literally the top and the bottom of my world. So it's freeze your a off or sweat it off and swat mosquitoes (sigh). Clearly, I went for the heat but yeah, saw that when I was searching. I did find a few others that do a dual certificate program but I've never really heard much about how certificates play out in the job world. You? And good luck, BUUURRRR. Hope you have one of those "Alaska" hats. Cristie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

University of Alabama offers a simultaneous MA alongside the MFA as well. That's one of the big draws for me actually. Boomer not Ok 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boomer not Ok Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Off topic a bit but I have 4 poems, I CNF piece and a short story at the moment staked out in Submittable Land and I've gotten this almost exact rejection from 2 separate pubs recently. Is this a new kind of form rejection letter? Any one else getting this response? Thank you for sending us ">>>>>>>>>>>>". We appreciated the chance to read it. Although there was a lot to like here, it didn't quite come together for us in the end, and we regret to pass. Although we're sorry we don't have better news at this time, consider submitting to us again in the future!Thanks again for thinking of us. Best of luck with this!Sincerely, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koechophe Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Just going to throw out this plug, anyone else in here still waiting on USC (University of Southern California)? Like, I saw a ton of rejections go out a week ago, and still haven't heard anything. I'm honestly a bit confused, I was expecting they'd reject me pretty promptly... Anyone else in this boat with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine still says under program review (active), but I don't want to get my hopes up. Portals are never reliable, but I'll let you know today if mine changes! Hey! I'm new here, but I just noticed my University of Maryland (fiction) also says Under Grad School Review instead of Program review now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
