Anyone checked their MyStatus portals for Michener?

Looks like Michener is releasing results as well....brace yourselves.

LOL.......but the rejections are red. The results board is filled with Cornell fiction and it just makes me feel less alone.?

My condolences to you as well. I feel pretty ok, mainly because Cornell was my least favorite program of the five I applied to. Should have applied to Brown instead. But it was the first reply, so stings a little.

Email rejection from Cornell. Totally expected. I guess.

Yea I get that. My app for Austin was the worst one of all as well. Revised statements and stories go to places with later deadlines.

Sorry to hear that.... the deadlines for Austin's programs are way too early

UT Austin's NWP program is notifying, according to the results board. Does that mean Michener will too? historically, they have come out at around the same time. Anyone brave enough to check their portals? ?

Congratulations! New letters is one my favorite litmags in the whole world! I hope you get funded!

Oh me as well! three of the five programs I've applied to only do phone calls. Despite the low probability of actually getting in, it scares me that I have to speak on the phone with faculty! Also, ten more days of waiting feels hellish. I want answers now dammit. ?

This. ?

I do both fiction and poetry. Only poetry when I was younger, but realized later that fiction came more naturally and frankly I enjoy reading fiction much more than poetry. I think its natural to question yourself, and a cross-disciplinary program may be the answer to your dilemma, or you could always do narrative poetry. People switch all the time, it is not unusual.

Ahhh........so sorry dude, ?☹️

Who else is feverishly re-reading their samples, statements and trying to divine possible adcom reactions.

Looks like WUSTL waitlists are going out.

It's been the same with me. I submitted all my apps in early December and yet this week's been the hardest. Now I kind of don't care tbh. Gave it my best possible shot, the results are not within my control.

The earliest Iowa result for fiction was February 15th last year. Hopefully it's the same this year as well! One more week and the truth shall set us free.

Someone on the waitlist last year wrote a note hoping an admitted person gets struck by lightning!! Damn. Too much unhealthy competition.?

Since there aren't any waitlisted posts on the results board, I'd say it's possible...good luck !

Sorry for the R, but its so subjective, and may not have been an aesthetic match. Last year, someone got rejected at Rutgers and got into Michener. Don't loose hope yet, you have a bunch pending!!

Sorry to hear that....hang in there. This too shall pass.

Only another week or two more of this anxiety hell. ?

Did you get into Michener and didn't go because there was no TOEFL center??! Pretty sure they give you time for that.

Iowa, UMich, Michener, BU, Cornell. Fiction in all of them. Based on GradCafe results, all of mine would begin notifying by end of next week or the Monday after.~trembling~
