That’s also a good point ? Thank you! I hope I do too ?

??‍♀️ I was really hoping for a waitlist /: but I guess I’ll be heading for the UK after all!

Rejections from Boston, Guelph, and Columbia. Looks like that’s a wrap!

I emailed to clarify the timeline. They replied saying we’ll get a “final result” between now and the first week of April. ?

It’s hard to say that the undergrad students don’t have a lot of experience though. I’ve seen undergrad students who have been publishing since their teens and have won awards etc. And that would be specifically Iowa. I don’t think we can say that all programs don’t care about experience.

First of all, I don’t appreciate that assumed that I’m a “he” but also, you cut what the where I said “I find that most programs...” This is not something I made up, and yes I’m speculating, but I based it off of the programs I applied to specifically and how I had an interviewer specifically state that they’d like to see applicants with more experience and longer history of dedication. Of course, that isn’t for all programs and I’m not saying that it is. I apologize for the poor wording choice, but I also wouldn’t say that MFA programs don’t necessarily care about experience at all.

There are still many of us here waiting to hear back from CU, so just a thought. ?

“Amazon delivery person” I love this. ? Would totally be me too, to be completely honest.

This is my second year applying! Last year I applied to 7 programs, but only got into one with no funding. I think rather than age, I find that what programs really want to see is experience in the field and a certain level of dedication.

To add on, I’m in my 20s and out of 14 applications, I received no acceptances from US schools so I don’t think age is the issue (at least in my case! ?)

Ohh! Where will you be heading? And thanks for the insight! It does sound lovely. Fingers crossed ???

I’ll try it! I’d say I’m terrible at writing romantic scenes though.?

That’s very kind of you! And oh dear ? If I did that, I think my mom would question my sanity, and my grandmother would disown me. They’re still quite traditional-minded so it would be quite the cultural shock! They’d probably stop listening halfway through and walk out of the room to be completely honest ?

I’ve been constantly checking ? Seems like my luck with US schools are at 0% this year.

The New School hasn’t sent out waitlists or any rejections from what I know ?
