YESSSSS!!!! Congratulations!!!! I knew you'd get in!

I'm not too surprised that it was a tough interview but it sounds like you navigated it masterfully! Wow- you are so much more qualified for Oxford than I am woosh. Short fiction is such a challenge, so your stuff must be spectacular! You absolutely have the right mindset going into this, and I'm so excited for you! Do keep us in the know!

Thank you kindly! It wasn't personalized, but I appreciated how pleasant it sounded- despite the fact that it was a rejection. Voila. Hi there! Thanks so much for that! Regrettably, I did not interview with them, but to be fair, I don't think my brand of writing is really their cup of tea anyway, so I wasn't too upset. I've wanted to go to Oxford ever since I was a little girl, so I was like; "I absolutely have to apply- no matter what." You interviewed with them?! Wow- what was it like? That's amazing! I'm sure you'll be hearing back soon. I hope all goes well for you! Which aspect of the Mst program did you apply for? Poetry? The novel? Etc?

Hey all- I received an acceptance letter from Hollins (March 5th, last night) and a rejection from Oxford (March 6th, this morning. Their letter was very nice; I'm framing it.) thus far. Only NYU and Brown to go.

Here, here! Ah, yes- poetry seems to be the most frequently updated for NYU in the MFA sphere. I hope you hear something really good very soon; my fingers are crossed for you! It's very interesting- I wonder what's happened this year. Stiffer competition, possibly? Not that anyone who isn't involved can really say for sure... but man... if the silence doesn't make ya break into a cold sweat.... jeez.

Hey guys! It seems like things really are fairly slow this year. In keeping with the trend, I also haven't heard anything from the schools I applied to yet and I'm definitely getting anxious. I've applied to the following for fiction: -Brown -NYU -Hollins (Children's Lit) -Oxford University Most days, I try not to think about it... but when I do, yikes.
