Just checked the mail...no rejections letters yet. It's weird. By this time last year, USD had sent their first round of rejection letters out. Maybe everything's taking longer this time around for some reason. I'm going crazy, folks.

I haven't heard anything about whether offers have been made. I would think that it would have happened by now...but who knows.

Hi Curlygirl! Congrats on the acceptances! That is fantastic. I agree with AwesomeBird that, after doing all the research, you ultimately have to go with your gut. It'll tell you which school is ultimately the right fit. When you mentioned before that your friend called the USD admissions office and was notified of his "callback status," what did you mean exactly? USD makes it pretty clear they don't hold callbacks. Did you mean that the admissions office said they would call him back with an answer? Maybe I'll give them a call next week if I haven't heard anything by then. It's always such a relief just to know...whether the outcome is good or bad.

Hi all, I am usually obsessively digging for the latest info from fellow MFA applicants, but until now I've never actually participated in any of these discussions. Enough! I'm slowly losing my mind, and I felt the need to chat with others in the same situation. This is my 2nd year applying to grad school (well, 3rd if you count a failed attempt my senior year of undergrad...but I had no idea what I was doing or why I was doing it, so I don't really count that). Last year I applied to NYU, Yale, UCSD, and USD/Old Globe. I was called back at Yale and NYU, and made it to the finalists at USD...but no offers. After last year's audition round, I realized there was only one school I felt was really the right fit for me and that is USD/Old Globe...so I put all my eggs in their basket and I am awaiting a reply...any day now. I don't have any new news to contribute, but I will as soon as I hear. The Globe does seem to take a while. I'd love to continue hearing from any of you who have posted...or others like me who don't normally post, but feel the need to commiserate with others. You're all my heroes for going through this process at all, no matter what the outcome is!
