Thank you for your interest in our English graduate program. I am sorry to have to inform you that our review of your application and credentials did not lead to a recommendation of admission. If you have applied to more than one Vanderbilt program, you will receive a separate communication regarding your application to each program. The Graduate School at Vanderbilt University receives applications from many outstanding candidates. Unfortunately, limited resources and competition among well-qualified applicants preclude our offering admission to all who seek it. Please know that your application and supporting materials received a close and careful review. Admissions decisions are difficult, both for faculty who review applications and for applicants who await notification. I regret having to send you this disappointing news, but I wish you every success in the pursuit of your educational goals.

Received an email to check my account. Kind of knew from there it wasn't favorable. Just skimmed for the highlights - better luck next time to me and everybody else who got rejected!

Email to check portal. Rejection letter was cold, repetitive, and just plain rude. And sending out the rejections the day after 3 people emailed them about their status just makes it seem obvious they forgot about us.
