Guys, is there any new information on draft re: Michigan?

I really hope Michigan results come out today.

Ooh many, many Congratulations!!! are you waiting for other places as well?

the news through the draft grapevine was that we should be hearing this week. I’m really hoping for a result early tomorrow. They email btw.

Take some time off from devices and try to relax, unwind...if they call, they call. I got the call around 9 pm eastern fyi.

...and what is up with Michigan this year, they are so late!

Looks like Michener is sending official rejections (via portal.)

I feel like such an ass whining about this. ? But it's like I have literally no one to talk about this stuff. Fingers crossed for you.

The board is pretty silent w.r.t Iowa, and looks like they are really behind this year. I haven't gotten any updates or follow up to the phone call either. Also, I'm being really paranoid: that maybe it was a mistake I got a call? my docs got messed up and they forgot about me? I'm wondering if it is polite to give them a call and ask about official acceptance letter.....

Wish you a very, very happy birthday @Dochinka96 ? ?

Thank you! Its a good idea to apply only to top 5 prgs imo, if that's what you want, you know!

Thank you so much @Ydrl.....! I haven't told anyone in real life that I was applying (except for my kind recommenders) and this has been my support group, essentially!

Hey I am 100% sure no such thing will happen. They will leave you a voicemail and/or Email. Plenty of people don't answer their phone Thanks! I hope you hear good news as well. For what its worth, the status still says "in progress" and I was told it ill take 1-2 more days to process everything. Good Luck to all. Michigan results should be out today, per last year's estimate!

Thank you! I feel like crying. Happy and scared! I really hope you all hear the news you want to as well! if not, try and try again. Don't ever give up, friends.

My phone rang with Iowa City code. It was Samantha Chang. I'm in for fiction with GTA funding. I don't remember what I said, something like thank you...??? ? Third try. I'm not sure if this is a dream btw.

Yea, ten past five in Iowa City. I think we are done for today. See y'all bright and early tomorrow morning!

Based on the last few years on the results board, definitely staggered, but not beyond third week of February. After that its just waiting for post to arrive with the rejection. PS. If anyone is on draft, please pass on any new info you see. !

Hah...i just woke up from one...to find IWW ON THE RESULTS BOARD!

Kind of late in the day isn't it?

Most universities aren't closed today. So i’m thinking we might hear.

It Sounds like even the wording of the email wasn't polite. Sorry for the R !

Mine. So bad. Michigan and Iowa might be out today. I’ve begun looking up current students in order to compare their writing to mine. ?

I feel the same. I ended up applying to five schools, but all of them hyper competitive w/d less than 1% chance of admission, severely underestimating how competitive it actually is. We can only hope to keep writing even without success in MFA apps. What else.

I want Iowa to notify, like right now.

Same.?
