I would legit throw it all away to work in a basement office and report to a bald buff assistant director. LET'S DO IT

Thank you, @FalloutCoversEverything~!! And just so I'm not spamming y'all, what's with that verbiage on the results board re: Brooklyn? Who's scolding whom?

Thank you<3 !!

I'm headed to my #1 program this fall. I must've been a really good girl in some past life because I got an offer from what might've been another top choice. I withdrew from the Wisconsin, JHU, and UVA waitlists as soon as I made my decision so hopefully that helps.

Lol. Who told him all of our loins were busted?? Fess up!

Yeah, that's probably for the best. Makes you curious about what kind of applicant gets one of those precious few fully funded offers, though.

Congrats! NYU!! Forgive my ignorance as I don't really know how waitlists work, but if someone turns down a funded offer does the program then take that same offer and give it to a waitlister? I know NYU has only a handful of those fellowships/work options but you never know, right?

Same here. I pretty much have made my decision and I'm already excited to start but I feel like I need to wait for my last two programs before committing.

Congrats!!!

Ah, thanks for the clarification.

When I was first researching programs I kept running into the Brown Is Weird rumor? rep? but the faculty doesn't seem all that out there, aesthetically. But that doesn't stop me from imagining a cohort of Judy Funnies running around in berets.

This is what I have, too. It's confusing because I do see people who had more straightforward rejections on the results page.

Congrats @holycat!! I hope you get funding but if not you can always go to NYC post-mfa. It'll still be there, waiting for you!

It's not even March yet! You are definitely getting ahead of yourself. Fingers crossed for your remaining schools!! Lol, I feel you. If only life had a backspace key. I legit feel like if I were suddenly forced to detail my literary influences or something I'd end up saying uhh... I like them books, what with the pictures and such.

Nothing naive about it, I think. We're very much in the dark here. Once we've sent off our apps it's almost entirely conjecture on our part what's going on with these programs until we get that acceptance/rejection. No reason not to remain hopeful and optimistic! Is Ole Miss your #1, @Mao III? I'm feeling stupidly cheerful as I just had a delicious cheeseburger and it's in the low 80s here in LA. Anyway, congrats to that Brown poetry dude/ette from the results page. Such a fierce program!! You go, you! But the idea of having to speak coherently on the phone before being offered admission... oy. I'm sweating just thinking about it.
