    Yep, Miami haha. Same same. I am so glad it won't be a rejection. Rooting for us and hoping we'd be in the same cohort!

    @nicolette7766 (forgot to quote, so I'm just tagging) Yess! I had the same feeling. I felt like my interview was quite short too, but maybe that was enough? They do seem very nice and I hope we both get in. (If it's the same place) they did mention they'll either accept or waitlist, so that's nice!

    Omg, me too. I feel like we interviewed for the same place. I don't have a great feeling about my interview? Felt like I was too anxious and my anxiety was clear in the way I responded. I'm interested in hearing others' thoughts too.

    I think Cornell fiction is starting—just saw an acceptance on Draft.

    Yep got the email for the University of Miami interview too! I went through the Draft groups from last two years. Can't see any mentions of an interview. So I guess this might be a new thing? I could be wrong. Either way, congrats to everyone and good luck! Rooting for us.

    (oops, it looks like a bunch of messages didn't load for me until I sent this message. this is regarding genre fiction / trashy novels) A few of my classmates used to write erotica and romance like that. They get paid very little (USD 10 for 2k words? and they have to finish 2k words or more per day I think). They receive the storylines in advance and have to use 'western' character descriptions, names, and settings (this is in an Asian country btw). My friends don't like the writing they do, but they need the money and have very short deadlines so they just do the bare minimum. I guess that's also the kind of stories I was referring to. Completely agree that romance novels and other genre texts have their own standards and should not be looked down on. I think some people look down on them because the books sometimes employ certain kinds of characters, plots, and tropes (and this is not all genre fiction of course). But, from my understanding, the way every book employs elements like these in a plausible but fresh way is what makes the books enjoyable to their audience.

    I'm totally going to write some 'trashy' novels. I kind of like romance novels and sitcoms where things end nicely every time and I don't need to think too much. Has anyone else not yet heard from FSU? Looks like they sent a lot of rejections yesterday. I still haven't heard from them and am wondering if I should contact them.

    Looks like a Cornell poetry acceptance has gone out. Also, someone got a call from NYU with a fully funded offer (Poetry). These are results I saw on Draft. Not my results : )
  33. sassydragon
    Ahh, oops, sorry!
  34. sassydragon
    Omg yes, congratulations!!! @MDP
  35. sassydragon
    It does feel that way! Hope everyone waiting for results hears good news soon ~
