Have you heard back from Ole Miss yet as a fiction applicant? Sorry I'm paranoid about this one I would like at the very least to achieve some level of success, even if I ultimately get rejected lol.

Anyone heard back from Ole Miss?

I was waitlisted at Tennessee in fiction. But this whole thing ended up a bit of a mess. I sent the story I meant to lead with to my old creative writing teacher who told me he liked the first line but that I should delete everything else in the next two pages. This was a couple of weeks before the first apps were due. I'm new to prose I mostly write screenplays but it was still much harsher than I had expected. Did some frantic rewrites but I think maybe next year is gonna be my best bet. Best of luck to you though!

Awesome thanks for the info

Ah ok I really don't want to take out student loans so I only did the fully funded ones. I am on one waitlist so I suppose there is still hope but I think my odds are slim. Frustrating because my girlfriend has gotten into almost all of her grad school programs and I'm pretty sure her parents think I am an underachiever. Difficult to explain to people how competitive these dumb programs are.

Well I suppose I should just assume the worst but hope for the best! Do you know if it's common to just be accepted to a single program, or do a lot of these places agree on who the best applicants are? This is my first time doing this I don't think I really understood what I was getting myself into.

Still no word on acceptances from UF or BU? Those and IWW are looking like my last hope I just want to be put out of my misery at this point haha

Just made an account to say if you applied to University of Tennessee Knoxville, I just got an e-mail about being waitlisted. I assume they already sent out the acceptances.
