    Guys, what the flying fuck is going on with the rest of the colleges? I haven’t heard from six of them still, how???

    Thank you to everyone who showed their work; I'm always curious about what other MFA applicants' writing looks like, and I loved looking at it all.
    I'm still waiting on some journal submissions. I submitted a few poems three or four months before applying to MFA programs in hopes that an acceptance from a journal would help my chances, but the few I applied to turned me down. I've now been so caught up in MFA apps that I've sort of forgotten about submitting to journals altogether.

    Idk if you're looking for more prestigious publications, but here's one of mine (I only used this for University of Houston's, since I published my "main" piece in their literary magazine and didn't want to share something they "might" have already read from me)

    BTW, I'm in the boat of 8 applications, crickets from 7 of them and a rejection from one for a creative writing MFA, so wish me luck!

    I just got the call from Julie Agoos!! I’m in at Brooklyn for poetry!! 
     
    I have not heard a single thing from any of the schools I applied to until today.  So to say I’m shocked & thankful is an understatement.

    I've got a poem out in the first issue of BAG Magazine. https://www.bagmagazine.space/s/GD-Harkavy-Poetry.pdf

    All the stuff I sent in my writing sample was in this zone. Totally a risk but I wanted to represent myself as genuinely as I possibly could.

    I’m still waiting on three journals. Colorado Review should give me an answer somewhere between the end of this month and the end of May at the latest. When I submitted to them as an undergrad they encouraged me to submit again. Although I have a new name, so they won’t recognize me.

    If any of us ever made to an adcom of an MFA program someday, we could try to fix/revolutionize many bumps in this whole application process. And I think one of them is - portals are useless (at least in my experience lol)

    My ass is impatient, too. I emailed Alissa. Ain't nobody got time for unnecessary waves of emotional cartwheeling. ✌️

    While we're waiting for news, let's talk publications. Anyone have anything published online they'd be willing to share? (I'll have to come back and do this from a computer. I'm on my phone on my lunch break right now.)

    Josh did say it could also be early next week (which, I hope, means Monday!) And I just looked up in the results, acceptances tend to be phone calls! So no need to refresh your inbox, just make sure you're staring at your phone screen all day ?

    I do plan to teach grad school someday (which would make me part of an adcom I suppose). Not all of the portals are useless, WashU rejections show up on the portal first.

    Have you tried Craigslist? I'm going to try to get into grad housing if I can, but I've been looking at CL ads in the areas of potential schools, and it seems like there are often some pretty good set ups

    There’s a lot a places that are available, but none at a reasonable rate on any website. It’s frustrating as hell.

    I take it back. I’m waiting for a call from the housing people at UNH right now and graduate housing might be an option depending on an individual’s situation.

    I did manage to land a full tuition scholarship, and I desperately need to leave the state, but finding housing sounds like a nightmare because on campus grad housing isn’t a thing right now.
