Form letter rejection, ". . . but I’m not the right agent for it. Of course this is only one response, and tastes vary widely among agents. I wish you the best of luck finding the right home for your work."
Not all that surprising as I suspected mine wasn't that good a fit. And getting an actual rejection is better than a CNR.

No response after it was a little past the estimated deadline to hear something back. I appreciate her consideration for my short story collection.

CNR @ 66 days. I'm keeping the submission on QM anyway since it retains a record of my query letter and sample at that time.
