not much longer now...

Any funding?! Congratulations!

What's the community opinion about Emerson?

No mention of funding anywhere. Might require contact.

Just got accepted into Emerson!! *for Creative Writing.

It can't hurt you to inquire. They aren't that sensitive and ready to reject, lol.

Does it? Eight core fiction profs for up to sixty fiction students at once... Many schools have a much better ratio. I'd still love to attend though!

I would really wonder about the quality of my MFA with that student/faculty ratio... Then again, maybe NYU has it all figured out. Anybody have any insight into how hands-on they are or are not, perhaps from a graduate of the program?

Okay, so then the 25-30 I was thinking was just a normal year's fiction cohort of 20-30 students. So that could very well be true this year, as well. Does anyone know if they are admitting a full-sized class, or have they cut seats like many other schools due to COVID?

That is my thinking. Funny how they also won't provide the size or our place on it. Also, to your second message: normally 40-60 per P&W, but someone posted here they are only accepting like 25-30 this year, right? I think I read that. Anyone remember?

Jeez how many of us did they put on the waitlist?? lol.

Just got waitlisted at NYU as well for Creative Writing about five minutes ago. I want to be really excited, but y'all have said their waitlist doesn't usually have much movement... Not sure exactly how strong my chance is of getting bumped to an offer of admission.

Which of Dante's circles is the waitlist, again?

Just got waitlisted at Western Washington University for anyone waiting on a response from them!

Has anybody heard from ASU for Creative Writing?

Then go away??

We don't find you threatening, we think you're a twerp because you purposefully invade a space where people are trying to encourage and inform each other so you can spread negativity as if it were gospel or fact to soothe your own failures, like if we're failures, then that makes it okay. You're pathetic.

Your rhetoric resembles Goebbels talking to himself in the mirror trying really hard to convince himself he's right.

I don't think you realize your writing is bad and your soul is ugly. If you ever trick a program into accepting you, you'll be found out. No one will like you. Nobody wants to read someone who thinks like you do. What a worthless, hateful little bore.

Is the Writers' Workshop sending out acceptance letters but not calling in some cases this cycle? I saw arguing over this, but no definitive answer.

Anybody else still "In review" for Michener Creative Writing in their MyStatus?

Just got a no from Montana.

I'm pulling for you and sending out some good vibes in your favor!!

UW Seattle, Iowa, Michener for starters, since I've seen talk of answers from them, but have received nothing. Perhaps it's simply an issue of automated latency?

Thank you! I may be misguided, but the later into March we are, the more I fear my lack of answers means a heaping pile of rejections. Wonder why I haven't heard from Michener, for instance, when we already have documented instances of rejections, waitlists, and acceptances. Truth be told, all I want is to get a full offer from my dream school I've been waitlisted at, but I have no idea of the odds ?
