  1. Hmmm...I haven't heard from them, am expecting a rejection...
  2. Join Draft workshop on Facebook, that will help
  3. For those who are waiting UNCW, I got a three-sentence email this morning from Mark Cox, read: "I know I promised you news around March 1st. You have been very patient. Bear with me another couple of days at most and all initial notifications will be made.
  4. Great point. I finally got into Draft (and learned the suspicious pizza superstition), and did a "math post" on it last night. If 80% accepted students are funded in school A, and A's acceptance rate is 10%, that's 8% chance to be funded. Meanwhile, if school B funds all its accepted students, with an acceptance rate as low as 5%, applying to school B actually has a lower chance of getting fully funded. That was my point last night. Now I have a second thought. Thanks to you. I imagine myself sitting in an MFA classroom, being the only one (or two) student without funding. That's terrible. Also, when hanging out with my fellow writer classmates, they might be talking all over about their stupid undergrad students, how to teach them the ABCs of creative writing as a TA, and complaining about the school's "poor" funding and other forms of financial aids...eventually I'll stop going out with them. In programs that fully fund half their students, (NYU for instance), I also can picture the tension between fully funded students and the other...
  5. It might not be a good ideal to ask a university about their decision progress, but it is OK to ask about if they have received all your application materials, ie SOP, letters of rec., and transcripts.
  6. @HortenseThank you for the Draft updates. I've been lurking for a while. I'm an international student, and haven't logged on my FB account for some time. It seems to have been stolen and used to post some undesirable trash, and it got deactivated. I recently opened another FB account, and tried to join Draft. No response so far. Your Draft updates prove very helpful, thanks.
  7. Hi Sonnets, I'm kind of curious about what the 20 (or more?) prestigious programs in your mind. I know there is no safety schools. It is almost a cliche among CW MFA applicants. But I think there is no harm to try one top program or two. I only can think of Iowa, Utexas, Cornell, and Michigan Ann Arbor. What about Brown? And what might the other highly selective prestigious programs be?
  8. But living in NYC could be expensive, half tuition without stipends could be painful...nevertheless, I haven't heard from them yet, and if NYU was the all I got, I definitely would go there. : )
