HI everyone. I'm new to all of this - the forum, the applications, MFAs, the stress and anxiety, and the shorthand you all use for these programs.
I already have rejections from Cornell, Pittsburgh, and Wisconsin. I'm waiting to hear (for fiction) from the Stegner Fellowship, NYU, Brown, Iowa, Virginia, and McNeese State. Is there any reason for me to continue to hope, or is it unlikely that I'll get in if I haven't heard from them yet?
