Just got mine, finally

yeahhhh bummer. looks like they did send out rejections around now the past couple of years. doesn't seem that hard to do, rather than just leave people hanging lol. oh well!

Same ugh

lolll Ms. Sun!!! help us.

Boston yeah 😕

I totally feel you. Still waiting on three schools!

I'm also waiting! In case it helps, here's some info I only recently noticed on UCI's website: All offers of admission will be made by March 25. These candidates must accept or decline their offer and financial support package no later than April 15.Candidates who have been placed on a wait list will also be notified by April 1, and offered admission and support as places become available.Applicants who have not been notified of admission or placement on the wait list by April 2, should assume they will not be offered admission. Because of the high number of applications and limited staff, it is not possible to send out denial notifications until late spring. Applicants who wish to confirm their application status sooner, may contact the Programs in Writing after April 16.

Gahhhh ! Fingers crossed for both of us

That's the worst part of this I think! Not being able to know what the rest of the year will look like. I have one rejection and am still waiting to hear from three schools, all of which do staggered notifications. The uncertainty is worse than the possible rejection for sure. Any of us who get rejections will all bounce back!

It's not that unusual for programs to tell people when they are finalists. Happened to me last year with a different school. Yes I'm still hoping I get in this year haha, but I think of it more like a positive rejection from a lit mag—it's general encouragement about your work rather than an indication of how the admissions process will go next round. If I were you I would definitely take the NYU offer, as it's incredible to get a full ride and a stipend. Congrats!

My guess is it's Colorado and they hit enter too soon haha

No, I'm waiting on both too!

same. last year i got my rejection on march 31 🙃

Hi! I am also still waiting on UC Irvine and Boston (and UC Riverside). From what I understand, these three schools all have a history of being a little more staggered for notifications, since I think they don't explicitly notify waitlisted applicants but kind of see how things shape up as they give out acceptances. The waiting is so tough!

Thanks! That is very weird..lol
