  1. Yes, offers are made on the 15th. I was offered a spot into an MFA from the waitlist on the afternoon of April 15 a few years back. Other friends have been admitted to programs later than that date. Being waitlisted at a dream program while accepted to a maybe program is kind of a crap situation to be in-- but at the same time, schools are aware of this and the domino effect that can happen, and will hopefully try to keep you informed. If you haven't reached out to your waitlisted school, maybe do that to get an idea of where you are on the list, how many people haven't said yes yet, and to tell them that if they offer you a spot you will definitely accept. Hope it works out for you!
  2. Thanks for this! I didn't know about the UVA fellowship. Also I have a spreadsheet of different opportunities; I'll DM you if you're interested.
  3. I have a friend who did this-- an MFA in one genre at a lesser-known school, then an MFA in another genre at a top program a few years later. They were seriously working in the second genre before they applied for the second MFA-- got a couple pieces published, and won a contest. Now they're doing a PhD in the second genre. So it's definitely possible! I think you probably just need to clearly show in your application that you're serious about poetry and are actively writing, and not just applying for more school out of feeling lost for what to do next...
  4. Hope you hear good news soon! I know that James Jones doesn't notify until September. Wisconsin said they'll notify by mid/late April (I got my rejection last week of April last year). I agree it's frustratingly difficult to find info on post-mfa fellowships/opportunities... like info that they even exist, much less when they notify. Your post is the first time I've heard of the Mellon fellowship, and I just learned about the UT Early Career fellowship (is that what you're referencing here?) right after the deadline had passed....
  5. Congrats on your interview! Which program was it for? I've had rejections from Stegner and Colgate, waiting to hear from Wisconsin and Bucknell (Roth).
  6. Hey all! I don't have Facebook so can't access Draft, curious if there are additional acceptances being reported there that haven't been posted on the gradcafe acceptance board? I applied to PhDs including FSU, just here casually waiting for my Mark Winegardner text message lol...
