I GOT INTO EASTERN WASHINGTON. Literally speechless. No word on funding yet but hopefully soon. Came after 11 straight rejections. There is hope, people!! 1a/0w/11r/4p

Although now that I'm looking at it again I'm not sure which program it's from because the email doesn't say. Just maybe don't listen to me...my brain is melting from stress

Unfortunately that posting was from me and it is, indeed, real. Got an email to check the portal at 10:15 last night, where status had been updated to 'denied'. 'Twas a day of rejections from Texas lol. Good luck to the rest of you who are still hanging on.

Rejected from Wyoming via email. Happy Tuesday, everyone!

Update re Purdue: they said they'll be making application decisions through April 15th...

They're running SO behind. Hope they're alright over there haha

I just emailed Purdue to see what their eta is. Just can't handle this waiting anymore lol. Will update with the response!

I still have eleven schools to hear from but I’m kind of in the same boat. I actually got a reassuring note from a lit mag I submitted one of my application stories to (they liked it and wanted to see more of my work), but the levels of imposter syndrome are pretty high for me right now. Would def be down for something like this - the more eyes on these things the better!

Out of reactions for the day. Hang in there ya'll! Things will work out regardless of how these applications turn out. I'm rooting for everyone on here

Rejected from Cornell!

What?? How? Where? May not survive this day lol

I applied but haven’t heard anything. So far on draft I’ve only seen waitlists so here’s to hoping!

I applied to fiction so I'm wondering about this as well.

In the same boat. This one STUNG. No real backup plan as of now...considering wearing my giant poncho even though the temperature is in the mid 70's here cuz it makes me feel cool

Peace out Vanderbilt! I guess we weren’t meant to be lol ✌️
