I’m sorry ? It’s their loss! Still exciting that you got waitlisted there!

Edit to this: Michael Hofmann is coming back from Sabbatical next fall which is exciting news for newly accepted MFA applicants! I’ve heard that he’s an excellent teacher. Best of luck to you guys! The weekend is almost here!

Good news and bad. I emailed Michael Hofmann about my program status, and William Logan got back with me and said Michael Hofmann just went on sabbatical, and said that he is sorry to say that I have not been admitted to the program, and he encouraged me to apply again next year when they have more funding to accept more applicants. He was super nice, and I think they are sending out all rejections on Thursday. Good news is that if Michael Hofmann is on sabbatical, I don't feel too down about not getting accepted since he was the reason I applied. Now it's down to BU and my waitlists...no anxiety at all lol

Hmmm, maybe I won’t email then lol. Just got a UVA and LSU rejection. So now I’m 0a/2w/9r/3p ?

Have you heard from U Florida? I’ve heard nothing, and I’m tempted to email them...

Right?! I think I saw one poetry acceptance in a comment on a thread, but I can’t remember which one, but no waitlists for poetry...looking from past years though, they seem to send their waitlists way earlier than rejections so I’m not too hopeful...unless 2021 is just a weird year for them.

Same, checking my email every five minutes... Do we know of poetry waitlists have been sent out yet? I need to know if we can still have hope lol Also, it’s weird that they are still reviewing my transcripts after they sent out acceptances ?

Mine still says that ? yikes...did they not bother to finish viewing my app. lol another update, they told someone on draft that they are sending out poetry rejections today so I’m not sure about fiction.

Don’t collapse! A waitlist is good news no matter what. It means they really wanted to accept you, but just didn’t have enough spots. You should feel very proud ? I hope a space opens up soon so you don’t have to spend weeks in anxiety. It just says received as well...don’t know if that means anything. Have you heard of their status changing from other applicants?

Yikes...rooting for you though! A poet on draft just got a rejection notice....made my heart stop. U Florida and BU are my top choices.

Ahhh, people are starting to get rejected from U Florida....waiting for my email.

I hope you’re at the top! Did they give you a date on when they would start to see movement or is it all up in the air?

I’ve had so much anxiety....getting high often is the only way I’ve been surviving the onslaught of insecurity and anxiety. Being on two waitlists makes it even worse. Being so close to going to grad school and yet so far away ?

SAME

I’M SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!! Congrats!!
