English, University of Oregon I was prepared for the worst and cried when I got the email. It was a short email with a lovely attached acceptance letter that specifically referred to my interests, my writing sample, and the professors in my speciality who I’d be working with. Fully funded with a wonderful stipend. I’m thrilled!

English, University of Notre Dame VERY CONFUSING NOTIFICATION to check website via email. subject line of email: "University of Notre Dame admission." Then the first line of the letter on the website: "We were pleased to consider your application for graduate studies at the University of Notre Dame." Second line: "We are sorry to report that we are unable to admit you at this time." ???

English, Penn State University Ironically, I FINALLY got my rejection from Penn State as I was drafting an email to accept an offer elsewhere. Normally, I think it's silly when people say that rejection letters are "generic" and "impersonal," but Penn State's rejection email is definitely both! The program is great, but their administration is lousy.

English Literature, University of Denver Down to one school. Feeling like the personal rejection letters are hurting more than the generic ones...I just want someone to say good things about my application that don't result in a rejection.
