I got the letter too. It seems hopeful! I wonder if it is sent to everyone or if they've maybe narrowed the pool. Mid-April seemed to be when they sent rejections, historically (just from looking at gradcafe).

Thank you Tradagram! I (like many) can get caught up a little in the emotion of things. I'm in a happier place and will accept the result regardless. Very hopeful still about BU (really like their progam, def a top choice), and nothing is set in stone!

Thanks @Dro. Much better mentality to have! There's always next year too! Do you know if BU does interviews or it goes straight to acceptances/rejections/waitlist?

Nothing from Columbia for me. Nervous (veering toward sad). I don't know if they spread interview requests out over a couple of days, but Columbia was/is my first choice. Only other one I'm waiting on is Boston University. Really starting to think I'm not getting into any this year. Sad. Unsure how to chart forward.

Hi folks -- know this is probably been asked before, but just curious who here is applying for the first time vs applying an additional time? For those who have applied before, could you walk us through a little of what happened prior? Did you get in to certain programs, none at all? What have you changed up on your application in successive years? This is year one for me, and don't quite know what to expect (except probably a lot of rejections -- already a no on CMU + Yale. No Brown interview either). Thanks

No idea if this means anything (doubtful), but I saw that for poetry, BU started calling people (didn't say for interviews or acceptances). Know they're two completely different programs, but poetry had a 2/1 deadline, so maybe calls could go out in 2 weeks?

I wonder if their decision to open every other year + have a later deadline affects their applicant pool. For some reason, I don't see as many people mentioning BU as other programs. I applied, but I see many more for Hunter, Yale, Austin, CMU. Thoughts?

Same here -- got an email saying "status updated." Checked the website and it was a nice form rejection letter saying they accept 3 a year.

Nothing (haven't asked). Seems that interviews go out around March 7-8th? From what I saw on the thread.

Thank you kindly! I hope you get good news as well! Nothing! Does anyone know about how many they take? Or an acceptance rate? I keep looking but I've come up with zilch

Long time lurker -- hello! Figured I'd just add to the bucket that I received a rejection from CM a few weeks prior. I worry sometimes that rejections are underreported, so I figured I'd chime in. Hopefully someone reading this who got a rejection will feel they aren't alone! To all those who got an interview, congrats!
