University Of Michigan (Ann Arbor)

Creative Writing Fiction, MFA (F22)

Rejected via E-mail on 17 Feb 2022

Note

I am sorry to inform you that we are unable to admit you to the Helen Zell Writers' Program at the University of Michigan. You should not view this as a reflection on your ability: we received over 800 applicants this year, and the limited size of our program means that we can admit only 2.25% from this very strong pool. The process of selecting students for the incoming class is one that our admissions committee takes very seriously. We must make fine distinctions among highly qualified applicants, many of whom could be successful in our program. We regret that in so doing we must turn away many writers who have impressed us. I hope that you receive a more favorable decision from another program and that you will continue to pursue your interest in creative writing.
