congrats on your acceptances, that's awesome!! which one are you leaning towards?
Pretty confident I'll accept UArk's offer after I visit in March. I've fallen in love with their program, professors, current MFA student work, etc... Seems like the program is really blossoming right now and as a Southerner myself that's really exciting. The financial package is unbeatable too... I really didn't think I'd make the cut!

UArk Drawing: Accepted via phone call 2/19 -- full tuition + 19k/yr.

Do schools ever get annoyed when you send emails to check on the application process? Or is it pretty much always ok...
Just be tactful and feel it out I think... I emailed UArk to ask how many people I was sharing the finalist pool with, but I was really hoping it would result in a progress update. The head of the department that I was in contact with was also really friendly and had been enthusiastic about communicating, so I felt it would be okay. My communications with Tyler, on the other hand, have been kind of cold and I didn't get a response at all to my post-interview "thank you" email... So I probably wouldn't have felt comfortable asking for a status update from them. Thats my 2 cents

For other people who have applied for Arkansas - did any of you have a follow up conversation? I just received an email asking to have another follow-up talk. What does this mean??? I'm terrified that they just want to explain to me why I'm not being accepted...
I would be excited! Maybe it means they narrowed down the original finalist pool to an even smaller one and you're in it? Can't imagine they'd go to all that effort to reject you.

OSU: Interviewed and now waitlisted
UofArkansas: interviewed last week and they said they will have an answer by the end of this week
UGA (top choice): Interviewed - they said that their will be another interview with other faculty and should be scheduled next week. They only accept 12 grad student for the entire MFA program.
Which concentration at UArk did you apply for? I interviewed for Drawing yesterday and they told me to expect an answer “within the month”

I’ve seen people receiving interviews from schools I also applied but heard nothing yet...not even rejection...Should I email and ask them? Don’t they usually send rejection and interview notifications at the same time? ?
Seems like different departments at the same school are frequently on different timelines... I would wait another week or two before worrying!

I skyped in but will fly there later to say hi in person. It went well I think! There was around 6 of the faculty (I think) and the list of interview questions to prep for from last year was very helpful to me.
Awesome!! Which list?

Flying into Philly right now for my first interview with Tyler. Anyone else gonna be there tomorrow?
