Thanks for the note, longwalktonever! They gave me a sort of tentative heads up a few weeks ago actually, but then I got the official offer on Tuesday. I had gotten decent funding from University of New Orleans and moderate from UCLA (waitlisted at USC and Michener, rejected from Iowa and Yale), so I was waiting to see what the Texas package looked like. Sounds like it will be pretty good--should cover tuition plus include a TAship. I feel really fortunate given the amount of talented writers out there. I definitely went into the application process telling myself that I might not get accepted anywhere. I did focus most of my energy to Texas, though, so I think that paid off.

Eep! I just accepted the offer from UT-Austin! Thanks for letting me share in this rollercoaster ride with all of you. They were my top pick, and I'm pretty darn pumped.

k-hotspur-- I got accepted at UCLA, too. What were your thoughts? I was really intrigued by the new collaborative first year framework, but the funding doesn't seem awesome...

Ditto on the Yale rejection, but got an acceptance at University of New Orleans today. Does anyone know anything about that program? Applied kind of blindly...

Hey everyone, I've been reading and anxiously following the posts for information, so it only seems fair to share what I know Got the email today about being short-listed as an alternate for Michener. Had an interview at UCLA a few weeks ago (some really cool changes to their program coming for this fall, but doesn't seem like fantastic funding). Nothing yet from the other places I applied to: UT-Austin T&D, USC, Indiana, Iowa, New Orleans. It would be nice to not feel like I might throw up all the time...
