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?
-
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.
-
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.
-
Yeah, this is also why I'm thinking I didn't make it past Phase I. We're coming up on March now and it doesn't seem likely to me that they'd still be deliberating for Phase II. Then again, someone mentioned a few pages back that they were still reviewing apps mid-Feb (or so?).
-
The results page is absolute chaos. Is ours the most bonkers MFA applicant group or what?
-
Just wanted to say LOL to this whole thing. So I think the first/second week of March is when JHU and Brown notified in the past... I will be getting NOTHING done this time next week.
-
They had to have, right? I think 2/17 is their deadline for receiving transcripts, app $, etc., from round 2 applicants--or so it says on their site. Or is that outdated info?
-
Hmm margaritas. There's an idea. I, too, have my phone about six inches from my face at all times. My boss is uber-annoyed, to say the least.
-
Deliciously salty, lol. Congrats, @gaudysideoftown!!
-
I did!! BUT I am going to remain delusional/skeptical and see what happens tomorrow. For some reason I was expecting Michigan emails to go out on a Friday...
-
If you're talking about that one Michigan acceptance it should be on this page: http://thegradcafe.com/survey/index.php?q=creative+writing&t=a&o=&pp=100 You should rotate between searching for fiction, creative writing, and the school's name in the results. Or not, and keep your sanity.
-
If you look up Michigan on the results someone says they called the office and were told that results are going out at the end of Feb. What am I to believe?? Still freaking out btw
-
I think I've read that they do fire those out all at once but I hope not! Brb, freaking out(!!)
