    Honestly, due to how limited the methodology is on this one, I'm not sure it's taken very seriously. Not taking long-form work, residencies/fellowships earned, etc. into account probably alters what this list would look like with those factors taken into account to a significant degree.

    First of all, congrats! Two amazing choices right there. With regard to general reputation, I'm not sure one side of the scale is tipped in favor of either program--within literary circles at least. Both are top-tier programs. If one of your main goals is to gain teaching experience, Cornell seems pretty unparalleled when it comes to MFA programs due to that two-year lectureship opportunity. That's essentially three years of teaching experience between the 2nd year of the MFA and the post-grad lectureship. Pretty amazing. Can't speak to location or quality of pedagogical training, but it doesn't seem you can go wrong with either program. Best of luck with your decision!

    Well it's pretty clear you're the troll account on Draft (Mel Reltor) talking about interviewing with Brooklyn college and asking how prestigious the program is, so are you saying you already heard back from them and it was a no, or are you just lying about getting interviews now?

    "The New Yorker Test" isn't real, it's some made up thing that the unwell individual who devotes their free time to trolling and spouting drivel across this board and draft keeps blabbering on about. Don't pay it any mind

    CONGRATS!

    Someone on draft just posted about getting into a prestigious program that told them not to name the program on socials until all acceptances were out--UVA maybe notifying?

    Yes, I think that's the case! I'm also waiting on UVA. From what I remember, I actually think they have their admitted students wait a week or two before posting about it on socials, so its very possible they will be notifying this week, as most waitlists/rejections I see reported from them are from mid-March last year.

    All accepted Michener poets have received their offers, as confirmed on Draft.

    Personally, I have a hard time believing they do rolling acceptance calls based on how few people they admit per genre cohort, but hey--it ain't over until it's over. Hang in there.

    Michener center acceptance for poetry is up on draft. Sound the alarms.

    Another poetry acceptance from Iowa is up. Here we go.
  32. Yellow62
    From what I recall, Iowa calls folks who have received fellowships/the best funding packages first, then a mix of call/email acceptances go out, and then waitlists are notified via email or post while rejections go out exclusively via post (which can take weeks to receive after the phone calls/emails have gone out). Also, initial notifications are definitely spaced out instead of all going out in one day.

    Looks like Michigan is accepting, waitlisting, and rejecting for both genres right now. Honestly, I prefer this chaos spray method of notifying as opposed to the stilted acceptances->waitlists->rejections method most schools seem to abide by. Good luck to everyone who applied!

    Johns Hopkins Fiction waitlist on the results page!

    Not at all! While there do tend to be a few superstars who get into a handful of the top programs each cycle, this process is so subjective that who appeals most to admission committees varies from school to school. Every year there are people who only get into one or two programs, but that's all it takes! Don't count yourself out yet
