Round Two: 1 down, 8 to go

Our admissions committee in the Northwestern English department has finished reviewing the files of everyone applying for Fall 2011 admission to our doctoral program and has now made final decisions. I'm sorry to say that the committee is unable to extend you an offer of admission for the coming year.

Competition for limited space in our program was fiercer than ever this year, and we have been obliged to turn down many outstanding applicants. You will be able to view the official decision letter via ApplyYourself shortly, but we appreciated your allowing us to review your credentials and felt that your application deserved a brief word from us directly.We wish you all the best in the coming year. Thank you for your application to Northwestern.
