I applied to some. There are a lot of programs that aren't fully funded that have great funding opportunities. Columbia (which I applied to because of location) has 10 fully funded TA positions and a couple of fellowships. In terms of selectivity percentages, one has just as good of a chance of getting one of those as one does of getting into many of the fully funded programs. I won't go if I don't get funding, but for me it was worth applying. And there are lots of programs that are 75% funded, etc. that are still worth applying to if one likes the faculty. I totally agree that one shouldn't go unless funded (it's not financially reasonable to me either), but I'm not going to let it stop my from applying to places if they do have funding.

Hopefully neither of us have to apply next year! But yeah, great program. Alabama is great.

So many acceptances in southern states today--LSU, Alabama, Kentucky PhD. Some awesome programs! I actually was thinking of applying to LSU / Alabama, but I decided they weren't geographically feasible for me. Awesome faculty / funding at both though. Congrats to everyone who got in!!! @Kiri-same It seems like Michigan does email results, usually around the 20th of Feb. (although the date could change).

Ah, well that's even more precise info than I have just using the gradcafe records. Thanks! =)

Cornell acceptances still haven't gone out this year. They did go out last year by around this time. Likely, they'll be going out soon (over the next week).

I'm curious if they were poetry or prose acceptances, I can't find anything on here re: vandy One is marked fiction anyway--maybe there will be more acceptances coming in the next day or so in poetry. Seems very possible. There's still waitlist spots coming too.

Re: Vanderbilt. It looks like waitlist acceptances went out 10 days after the initial acceptances last year. So there is still hope!

Yeah, CA is great! He teaches at Naropa every year too >.O The faculty at temple are amazing also--hopefully funding comes =)

Hey, new to the forum. Applying in fiction. I've gotten into Temple so far (but no word on funding... not considering it an actual acceptance unless I get funding). Likely out at Madison. Unsure about Iowa. Congrats to all of the other acceptances both on the forum and on the board! Very exciting! I'd say re: re: applying: If you have funding, go for it if you feel like you need a change of pace. But if you have a good job and can wait, do some summer programs or online workshops (like Naropa, etc.). and give it another shot. You'll likely come out a better writer doing the later, if it is feasible. If you need to get out of where you are, and are feeling stuck in a job, just go where the funding is. If it doesn't work out (it most likely will... if they accepted your work they want to work with you) you can always switch programs with what will likely be a better application.
