early rejection


Recommended Posts

Today, I got a rejection letter dated Dec. 20 for MSU's Rhetoric & Writing Ph.D. program. The application deadline was Dec. 1. I am now feeling scared about my other schools and glad I applied to a lot of them.

Was this a first-round rejection or does MSU typically make all decisions early? Blah.... not a good start.

Have any other rhet/comp folks heard back from anywhere?

Wait, really? Eek. I applied to MSU Rhetoric & Writing too, haven't heard anything yet though. I still have a few apps left to get in, but I didn't think we would hear anything from anybody until at least next month. Apparently I was wrong.... Sorry to hear about this, good luck with the rest of them.

Yes, it was definitely a surprise to get a letter this early. I knew MSU notified early, but I thought it would be the end of Jan.ish.

Update: just checked the mail and my MSU rejection letter was waiting for me. Bummer.
