Backup plan is to work, save up money, write, and go through all this madness again.

Thank you so much for the positive energy. Really needed it! Wish you all the best in your application process as well! ❤️ 

Just got my rejection from Michigan! Definitely feeling a bit bummed but I'm hoping it means Brown will be getting back to us soon too. Who knows! Maybe the universe doesn't want me getting my MFA in a colder climate. Keep pushing forward, y'all! If you're feeling anything similar to the levels of anxiety I've been feeling these days, I hear you and see you. We've got this! 

no one.....except those of us applying to the nonfiction writing program lol 

For people who applied to partially-funded programs like I did, I got some advice regarding funding from the program director of Sarah Lawrence. She said one should always negotiate funding if it's a school one really wanted to go, because as accepted students decline offers, funding frees up and gets reallocated. I'm sure many of you already know this but thought I'd mention just in case! It seems like even well-funded programs are getting screwed this year. 
Bracing for the coming week! 

The admissions processes are completely separate--there's no overlapping faculty between the two committees (at least this year--I asked). Also, in terms of them accepting or rejecting the same people, think about how different the programs are. Sure, they have the same faculty (with the exception of the program directors) but NWP is a teaching MFA and Michener isn't. Even without factoring in their other distinct qualities, that makes them very different programs.

I've been wondering about that. Since they have the same faculty, will everyone who applied to both programs get either two acceptances or two rejections? Why would someone be accepted to one program but not the other? There's a good chance I'm overthinking things though. It's one of my strongest personality traits. 

I believe they have the same faculty, so maybe they have some of the same people making decisions.

Yep. They get so many applicants, and I don't need feel they are obliged to be nice about it, just professional. Also, I just want them to get to the point and tell me I didn't make it. I just need the information so I can move forward with my plans.
