Thanks for the update. To make things worse, my rival got in the first round. Anybody else going through that, I know the pain. Don't give up!

Hey, fellow apps. First post this year. I'm also waiting on news from UCR. I'm applying to the Fiction cohort this year. It's my second round... I applied a couple of years ago after the deadline and didn't get in. Like most of us I was naive, and hoping to get a critique from the professors (was it the samples, the deadline, logistical etc.) but nope. No comments. It was unrealistic to think I'd get comments back in the first place. So, after a really difficult Spring and Fall, I picked my work back up and reapplied for this year, on time, with over a year's worth of work on my samples. I didn't join the draft on FB this time, because it was pretty hard to go through all of that the first time. Honestly, anxiety is still bad, especially as we get closer to mid-March lol. However staying off the Draft means I have no idea when the offers are going to start posting and... probably like all of us, the wait is taking up a lot of space in my life and I'm finally giving in lol. I saw there was a post about poetry... Has anyone heard anything from Fiction? Best of luck comrades.

Hi! Been lurking for the last few months. Does anyone close to UCR know what’s going on with the acceptances this year? There hasn’t been much activity here or on the Draft and it seems a little late in their season now. The incoming cohort is usually between 15-20 right? Was there an ask not to post acceptances?
