PoetWitness

Thanks for the update. I'm not on Draft. But I applied to Iowa for poetry and I did not get an e-mail either way, soooo....I dunno.

Thanks! We'll see how everything shakes out. I guess I will be creating more spreadsheets in the not-too-distant future. Meanwhile, I am totally stress-baking. Good for friends; not for my waistline? Chocolate gets me every time. Especially Barefoot Contessa's Outrageous Brownies. If you ever bring those to a shindig, you will probably make 5 new friends and leave with a boo-thang. ?

Oh, congrats!! That's awesome!

I'm assuming it's all genres. I was notified -- literally a few hours after typing this -- that I am on the wait list. Ack! This process feels like riding a roller coaster. And I am not a thrill-seeker. ? Anyway, we all still have March and early April. I've heard from previous applicants that a lot can happen in that time frame. Sending everyone positive vibes through this process!

Do you know if that's in all genres? Or just fiction? Or just poetry? And, hey, they may be accepting in waves. Don't count yourself out yet!

Thanks so much!

Sorry, but I have no idea on those specifics. I received a very kind phone call with an offer of admission yesterday. I was so excited. I barely asked a question!

Looks like Indiana is notifying for poetry by phone. Super excited!

Thanks! I'm trying to stay pretty positive. You can't control the process. It is what it is. I learned that from applying for my first master's degree. But, I noticed that one of the schools that I applied to this go round (U of Pittsburg) sent out interview requests, per MFA Years. I didn't get a request, so, I figured that wasn't a good sign. But, maybe it's part of their weeding out process? I haven't a clue. I thought someone here may have more insights. Anyway, I appreciate your response. Good luck!!

Hey y'all. So grateful for this thread. Random question: I noticed a few schools are doing phone interviews. Not sure if this is a new thing or not. But, does it usually mean doom if you don't get a notice about an interview? Thanks much!
