I love looking at older work and giving it a new outfit. I’d love to see people’s work! I’m working on a short story I began a few months back and it’s taking a turn I didn’t expect now that I've given it some space.

Columbia definitely had lost a lot of candidates to other schools with better funding for years. Considering how ridiculous their application is and their big ol’ Ivy League money, Columbia really needs to do better with funding.

I’m in the same boat, waiting to hear about the other NYC schools with an acceptance from SLC. If anyone thinks of really good questions, please share because I want us all to be prepared to get the info to help us choose the right program. I do love a lot of SLC’s aspects, though. Especially teaching opportunities in so many different areas. I’d have to move from Brooklyn further up, though.

Oh so much. I am on my 3rd cup of coffee and trying to motivate myself to work on a short story I’ve been dragging ass on. And yet all I can do is stare at the screen and my inbox...

You are NOT alone. The obsessive phone and email checking has me wanting to throw my phone in the toilet.

Very cool! I was there from 2010-2014.

Oh cool! What years were you there?

May we all have tequila shots for this. I’ve had 3!

Should’ve clarified, when I got accepted to the creative writing program there it was multiple waves in the acceptance to it. And, honestly, the undergrad acceptance was the same.

Don’t give up hope just yet. I went to UW for my undergrad and they had a sliding acceptance, so there may still be a chance. If it doesn’t happen, you’ll be better prepared for next year, love.

That’s amazing! Congrats!!! In poetry? Taking another shot for you. Seriously, be incredibly proud of the accomplishment. It’s a beautiful thing xoxo

Yup! Congrats @ilikepoetry!

In. Not chilled and no limes!

A drinker after my own heart.

Yeah, inquiring minds wanna know if you pulled in a big ol’ Iowa fish! If so I will dedicate a shot to you!

I've lurked for a long time and had to finally say how much of a relief it's been to read everyone else's struggle going through the application process and now the decisions. It's so wonderful seeing how supportive everyone is of each other and their successes and even the mutual middle fingers when there are rejections. You're all delightful and I'm so glad to not feel completely alone in this hair pulling, nauseating thing we've all done. I have an acceptance from SLC with a small scholarship, but am still waiting on Brown, Iowa, Columbia and NYU. I ate an entire large bag of candy today as my lunch with one shoe on because I'm definitely not stressing over the waiting whatsoever. nope, super chill over here. Probably not even gonna buy another bag of candy from the dollar store. Anyone know a good dentist?
