How are all my waitlisters doing out there? I still keep checking my email every five minutes, even after business hours, like it's realistic I'm going to get an email at 9PM.
OOf struggling, I spoke to the DGS at UW and they said 4/5 original acceptances have confirmed they will be attending so its down to 1 person ? cue email checking!

Do you have a fallback option if UW doesn't work out? I am waiting on two more schools, but not feeling very hopeful. Got accepted to one program but will prob turn down due to limited funding.
I only applied to UW because I’m already getting my PhD there so no
no fallbacks just anxiety hahaha

Spoke to a director today who said admitted students have been really slow to respond for some reason this year— so don’t give up hope!
ooh nice, fingers crossed! are you also waitlisted there?

anyone have any intel on UW (University of Washington, Seattle) for poetry? Anyone know if they're accepting/rejecting the offer? Any waitlisters who are taking themselves off the list or holding out hope?
hi! i am on the waitlist and when i asked the director of cw they said that they were expecting movement soon, so i am holding out hope (perhaps foolishly)

I accepted my offer at the University of Washington
after a near shut-out this season I could not be more stoked to go to a top choice PhD program!

hey, I was one of the acceptances. I got into the MA/PhD program, I'm applying straight out of a BA but my portal now says that I am accepted for the PhD program. I didn't hear anything about them having given out all their acceptances, fingers crossed for both of you!

as a current third year, choose the school where your stipend is union protected (i really cannot emphasize this enough, uw's union has steadily fought for increased pay, we have no copay for mental health, and a strong contract enforcement protocol to protect against infractions), where grad students are nicer and seem organized, where faculty seems like you can really talk to them (this you may or may not have a feel for) and the city where you will feel excited to live for 5-8 years! the job market is such that no school can promise placement, so you should choose the place you *feel* is a good place to live in. that's just my two cents ?
