Hi, everyone. Just wanted to share some information now that I've come to the end of my application process. I hope it's helpful. I applied to the following programs, in Fiction: Iowa, NYU, Hunter, Columbia, The New School, and Brooklyn. I was rejected (snail mail) from Iowa on Friday, March 6th. I received an acceptance (by phone) from The New School this Monday, the 9th. Today (Wednesday the 11th), I got acceptances from Hunter and Columbia, both by phone. For the record (at least in my experience) Hunter DOES have potentially accepted candidates come meet the faculty and take a look around before making any formal offer, which doesn't come until a week or so later. I've yet to hear from NYU or Brooklyn, but NYU seems to have notified and I have on good authority that Brooklyn has notified. Either way, Hunter emerged as my #1, so I'm going there. Good luck to everyone!
