Rejection (1)

Dear M________,

We have concluded our review of applications for the Doctoral Media Studies program at The University of Texas at Austin. We regret that we are unable to offer you admission for Fall 2009.

The applicants for our program were exceptionally competitive this year, with over 120 applications for 8 spaces, resulting in many well-qualified applicants being turned away. Our decisions are the result of an extensive review of all the applications and supporting materials, assessing qualifications as well as the fit for our program.

We wish you well in your future pursuits. Thank you again for your interest in our program.

Sincerely,


Joseph Straubhaar
Amon G. Carter, Sr. Centennial Professor of Communications
Graduate Adviser

Ah man! Well, if it's any consolation, we just got back from Texas and trust me, maybe it's a blessing in disguise.

I can't wait to see the letter that accepts you!
