*sigh*


 I got a form rejection from The University of Pittsburgh’s MFA program.  

Please, please, please don’t tell me that they’re making a huge mistake that they’ll someday regret.  They aren’t.  They won’t.  I knew going in that I probably wouldn’t be a good fit for their program.  The core of my prose is solid, but it’s also genre right to its heart.  I tried, and I’m not sorry that I did.  I’m also not surprised.  And even though I’m not happy about it, if I’m not a good fit for them, it’s also very possible that they’re not a good fit for me.
