Very nice rejection letter. I appreciate it. Thank you for your application to the Program in Modern Thought and Literature. I am writing to let you know that, unfortunately, MTL will not be able to make you an offer of admission this year. As you may know, the program always receives far more applications from highly qualified applicants than our program is able to accept, which means that we must regretfully turn away many outstanding candidates.
