Just found a rejection from Cornell in my inbox.  I was expecting it but damn, it still stings!! At the same time, it's a relief to be hearing back from places.   Gonna cope with this by buying a new houseplant & hope I don't get too many more rejections (it's already starting to look like a greenhouse in here).    (0a/3w/4r/5p)

Just found out I'm going to get a Truman Capote Literary Trust scholarship from the university of alabama!! ahhh!!!

Someone just posted on Draft that they got a waitlist notification from Cornell for poetry, just as a heads up to y'all (and KEEP YOUR HEADS UP, too!!!!!!). 

Hey - I was on this forum last year during application season, weird to be back - but I was accepted to Iowa and I just want to say for anyone who is worrying right now, I was only accepted about a couple weeks before the April 15th deadline, by phone, later than any other school, and I was accepted with their most well paying fellowship. So application season is weird and just because some ppl are receiving acceptances it really doesn't mean anything. What I learned from here is that forewarning or foreworrying actually worsens your experience of the outcome, because it makes you believe you know what's going on when the administrations that handle rejections/acceptances are all wavy gravy, baby.  It really is all good until you actually personally get the no. 

Longtime lurker first time poster...
Oodles of gratitude to this crew for the awesome guidance & community y'all have built through this process!
Wanted to share a waitlist notification for Florida Atlantic U (poetry), received earlier today via email. Short but nice note, mentioned they should be following up "within the month" which seemed like oddly specific guidance... should I temper expectations or is that a strong "likely" signal!?
So far this cycle have been admitted to Nevada - Reno and Northern Arizona (both for poetry); funding still tbd for both.
Would be truly thrilled with any above programs, funding permitting.
Other schools this cycle: rejected from OSU, UMass Amherst, Vandy, UWisconsin so far.
A few more in the pipeline (UNLV, JHU, Eastern Washington, Cleveland State/NEOMFA...)
Hoping it's good news all 'round on this thread as we continue through the gauntlet!
 

Thank you so much!!! Even if I don't get off these waitlists this year, I think I feel much better prepared for the next round at least 

Waitlisted at U Michigan for poetry!!!!

Last week I got three rejections and all the emotional stimulation made it easier to read and write again, and now I've hit writer's block again in what has been an uneventful couple of days. My body craves more admissions results.

I received word earlier this evening that I'm at the top of Oregon State's waitlist for CNF : )
