We need to have a conversation about what would be the worst case scenario for many of us who have been accepted into a program. I posted a link to an article from Forbes saying that Boston University MIGHT (based on what happens) postpone the start of classes until JANUARY. I'd like to hear from the BU students on this forum. I'd like to know...from all of you who are accepted...what would you do in this scenario, since it's being floated around as a possibility if things are still bad. Again, the article says MAYBE but we truly don't know. Also...to those who plan on applying next cycle....do you think that if semesters are pushed back that would affect the next cycle?

A. Look for a program that is fully funded B. Apply for a Fringe Festival C. Do some readings D. Submit for some opportunities

Just got wait-listed at Arizona State for one of their two spots. WOW, this has been a journey. Heard from every school I applied to. Has anyone else heard back or accepted their offer? This is surreal

I also received my official rejection notice from UT Austin, but so thankful to Dr. Grapko for her personal response before the automated email went out. I emailed her back and thanked her for being part of my MFA journey. I also got my OFFICIAL acceptance letter from Iowa's graduate division and accepted through the portal. Has anyone else heard from Iowa? Curious to see if anyone'll be joining me. Congrats to the Brooklyn College acceptances BTW!

Hey! When did you get the interview request from Arizona?

Good morning everyone! Iowa was AMAZING. Honestly, I felt such a warmth from the faculty and students. Everyone was so kind. I accepted the offer last night, without hearing from Arizona or UT Austin. The school really made that much of an impression on me. I believe they have their finalists and are in the process of making final decisions, if that helps you as far as info. I am so honored. This forum has helped me so much. Sending the absolute best to EVERYONE because this journey can be exhausting.

I also got the UC San Diego rejection. I actually called them a couple of weeks ago and they said that they were interviewing finalists at that time. So I already prepared myself for it beforehand. It is nice to have clarity. Travelling to Iowa tomorrow to see the campus...which also happens to be my 22nd birthday!!! So there's still reason to celebrate and I am thankful. I think of these things in terms of purpose and destiny. Still waiting to hear back from Arizona and Texas T&D over the next couple days.

Thank you everybody! I appreciate the love. Yeah....the thing is I have to make my decision super fast and haven't heard back from Texas or Arizona State. So I'm trying to take some time but I only have a couple of weeks.

Honored, moved, and overwhelmed that I was officially accepted into Iowa today. I turn 22 next week and this is my very first year applying to MFA, so I had no idea what to expect. This process is, as we all know, incredibly difficult. And I celebrate all of you for embarking on this journey. I'd like to echo what was said in the previous post in saying that we all have reason to celebrate because we all have survived this process. There is still some waiting to be done, but I am so thankful for all of you and am sending you all amazing vibes. I started writing plays on my bedroom floor at eleven years old and it just means so much to have arrived here. Love you guys!

I got an interview request for Iowa last night at like 10pm EST (very honored and surprised by the timing) and will be having my interview via phone at noon today. I am so amazed and thankful to this forum. Any interview tips? Nervous and excited!

I'm sorry, friend. I reached out and got my reply on Feb. 25th. I just saw your post and thought I'd help out with some info.

Hey. I did not apply here ( I nearly did). I actually contacted them last week because I know they accept late apps until April 1st if spots are open. I was told that they've sent out acceptances when I contacted the department

Yeah I called UCSD last week and they had moved onto interviews. SO I let it go and am just waiting on my other schools. I just don't know ANYTHING about Arizona's process and it doesn't seem like anyone here knows about it either haha. Iowa will probably be way later this month.
