  1. Just wanted to sign off and say "bye" to everyone on here! I chose my school and I'm moving on to obsessing about moving. (Just FYI - I still haven't heard from Univ Florida, Univ Alaska Fairbanks, Florida State Univ, or Northern Michigan. ?‍♀️ REMEMBER - there will be BOATLOADS of waitlist activity. People are getting in off of waitlists weeks before they normally do right now - most people applied to so many programs and will only go to one. HANG IN THERE and keep your hopes up!
  2. It’s also only a 1/1 teaching load and some students pick up extra work. They also have additional scholarships - Including a 5k diversity scholarship available. Not to mention, that part of Ohio is seriously cheap...
  3. Would you call any fully-funded program “crappy”? I don’t think I would...
  4. Rambling, over-explaining... ✅ Marshall.
  5. UF seems to have sent out all of their acceptances and waitlists (certainly have for fiction and I believe for poetry). I’ve considered it a loss since last week.
  6. And here's a start of a poem...
  7. People - 1. don’t feed the troll. 2. Where ? is ? IOWA.
  8. Hard to know if that “within the week” still holds ?
  9. So... Word on the street was Iowa was supposed to make their calls “within the week” last week, and I’m seeing only one poetry acceptance out of 25. Do we think Iowa will be calling accepted poets today?
  10. Hey - I saw your other posts. This is the Creative Writing board - you're probably in the wrong spot to ask this question If you're also working on poem though, let me know. I love a good science crossover...
  11. Especially form rejections.
  12. Typically the FB draft group will have a lot of people posting about rejections when mass rejections go out, and no one’s mentioned a Brown rejection there. It seems like a huge number of poets apply there. Seems suspect.
  13. So... do those Brown rejections belong to anyone or are they just bogus troll droppings? ETA: RE: 3 Brown rejections (poetry) that all appeared at the same time on the results page lookin’ a lil sus.
  14. Syracuse. ETA: Still holding out hope that I’ll get the call and waiting to hear from Iowa.
  15. I want to go there so badly, and there’s nothing I can really to change what will happen, and it feels like I might miss it but so little. Ughhh. I’ll try to stay positive. (I am happy with the options I have as well and very grateful!)
  16. Anyone waitlisted at their dream program and imploding? So much initial joy now so much MORE anxiety. *screams silently*
  17. I actually just saw a legitimate IWW response on the draft page from a legitimate poet.
  18. I think sometimes people think it’s funny to put false results there, but it’s something to watch anyway.
  19. Results page is showing a call went out today for poetry...
  20. Yes - I don’t plan on holding on to 5 acceptances or something wild. I plan on holding my top 2 or 3 and while I wait for the dust to settle. I have real reasons and interest in the programs I’m holding onto - not just for funsies. I think there’s a good balance to be had here between strategy and courtesy.
  21. Yes - the CNF program is entirely separate. No one mentally collapse just yet...
  22. Cornell’s page still reads that they will notify by the end of February - so let’s hope that’s the case!
  23. I got some advice from an English PhD to hold onto the offers until April 15 because people may change funding. I'd much rather decline all offers other than my front-runner as my options change to make the process easier / less-anxiety filled for other applicants and the programs, but it appears we shouldn't do that this cycle. A lot of apprehension this year and I think that will lead to a mass shuffle on April 15. It ain't over 'til it's over, people.
