Just got this email after writing back about my rejection to the NYU creative writing MFA program for fiction. Not much but at least they responded...
"Thank you for your email message regarding your application for admission to the Graduate School. I understand your disappointment in not being offered admission. As mentioned in our letter, the candidates for admission were exceptionally competitive. The reasons for a denial of admission are complex. Applications are reviewed by several committees and there can be many reasons why an offer may not be made.
You may find a review of the department’s website helpful in order to learn about what qualities are important for a successful application. If that does not answer your questions, then I suggest that you contact the Director of the Admissions Committee in the department. The email address may be found in the FAQ section of our Application Resource Center at gsas.nyu.edu (Email Addresses for Departments and Programs). You specifically should focus the discussion on ways in which your application might be strengthened, if you were to apply again in the future.
If you were to apply again in the future, it would be helpful for you to review our policies regarding reapplying for admission. They are described in the Application Policies section of the Application Resource Center. Application deadline dates and forms for 2012 will be available in September 2011.
I wish you every success with your future endeavors.
Sincerely,
Roberta S. Popik
Associate Dean
---- Thank you Dean.
I'll be working on 'strengthening' my application in the meantime..
