Round Two: 4 down, 5 to go

Dear Mr. Heaton:

Your credentials and application for admission to the English program for Autumn 2011 have been given careful consideration by the Graduate Studies Committee. I regret to inform you that the committee did not approve your application to the Graduate School.

The committee’s decision was reached after careful evaluation of your qualifications in comparison with those of other applicants and is in no way intended to reflect upon your ability to undertake study as a graduate student.

Your interest in the Graduate School at Ohio State is sincerely appreciated. On behalf of the Graduate Studies Committee, I wish you the best of success in your future endeavors.
