It's unusual, but possible that they just do it differently than most other places. That's what I'm hoping at least lol.

In the same boat. Sadly it's completely possible that, since their cohorts are small, the rest of the accepted applicants may just not be online. Despite how many people use Grad Cafe and Draft, I've read that it's likely the majority of MFA applicants each year actually aren't on these sites.

Not yet. But I'm ready for the pain.

Someone on draft got accepted to UW Seattle for poetry yesterday. That makes 2 that have been reported so far. Getting nervous.

I interpreted it as by the end of the day today, or possibly through the weekend at the latest. If I don't hear from Iowa or U Washington re poetry soon I'm gonna lose it tbh

Yeppp that's what I get. You're probably right about it being there all along

LOL you realize Iowa has to contact 50 people not including waitlisters, right?

Well hey, no one's reported for fiction from what I've seen, and who knows if all the poetry calls even went out tonight. Not over yet!

Someone on draft says they know someone who got an email acceptance from Iowa for poetry. Also first poetry acceptance from U Washington at like 5pm pst tonight. Can't wait to be a nervous wreck tomorrow.

Same here and I also can't remember if I had access to this previously...On one hand I feel like being able to actually search the catalogue is possibly a good sign, but the course lists are also public info so...just gonna not think about it and retain a deathgrip on hope scraps as well. .......

Someone reported a call from Sam Chang on draft. Brace yourselves.

Iowa is calling for fiction.

Pain.

This. I don't believe past notification data from this site is a reliable indicator for this year, and that most programs will be notifying at some point next month.

Seeing more UMass notifs going out. I can't even imagine receiving a call from Ocean Vuong. Probably a good thing it likely isn't going to happen to me, because I'd spend the rest of my life bragging about it.

Oh yes, the spiral is in full effect right now Congratulations on the acceptance tho!!!

This actually stresses me out more lol. I want my rejection already. Give it to me straight, doc!

I expect this to be about the situation for most programs. Buckle up, everyone, and good luck. We're all in it together.

On Feb 3 2020, the application thread got to page 19. On Feb 3 2021, the application thread is at page 44. This season is going to be insanely competitive, isn't it?
