    CONGRATS!!!! @turnipgreenhave you checked your snail mail? I believe they sent out rejections and waitlists that way and have called all accepted applicants. Good luck on the Hollins wait list, maybe we'll be cohort buddies in the fall

    Ha, I know, right? I was burnt. The students I've talked to have said that the workload is manageable but heavy, so maybe they really are just slammed. One said she got workshopped 8-9 times last semester while her friends at other programs typically got workshopped 2-3 times. But the atmosphere is apparently much more collaborative than competitive, and the program has a huge range of ages, backgrounds, and personalities, which is super exciting to hear

    I asked Hollins whether I could talk to students a couple weeks ago when I was still on the waitlist. They said the MFA students were too busy with their work/writing/lives to talk to waitlisted applicants and that they would only communicate with accepted applicants. (Kinda felt like shit to hear, but I begrudgingly understood, lol.) This might be different at other schools

    I just accepted my spot at Hollins Much love to everyone on this thread!!!
  25. MDP
    Thank you!!! Just saw your comment haha. I'm thinking I will. Definitely feels like it’s time to move into a new phase of my life!
  26. MDP
    Thank you both!!! @retrotypingAhhh that would be so awesome if we both ended up there!
  27. MDP
    Typo: don’t quit BEFORE the miracle happens! Ahhh I am brain dead lol
  28. MDP
    Okay uhhhhhh…I just got accepted off the waitlist at Hollins, full funding, whole shebang????? I’m in shock to be honest. Seriously haven’t even processed this at ALL. I got the email as I was on the phone with my big sister — I was telling her that I was pretty much at peace about not going to an MFA this fall / that I wasn’t expecting to switch jobs or really do anything big any time soon. The MOMENT those words left my mouth, I got the acceptance email. As we say in AA, don’t quit until the miracle happens WOW

    This is an awesome approach Hopefully I'll be able to rally like you have!

    Personal statements always feel like the most baffling piece of the puzzle for me...I never know what to say. I always end up feeling like a kissass. Props to you for getting going on it already. I swear, next time I apply I'm barely even going to bother editing my stuff. Clearly it hasn't served me to agonize over which angle or tack might sit right with the adcoms. They'll get what they get, lol.

    Might be jumping the gun a bit, but I've started a thread for next year's application cycle: Don't know about you all, but I'm hoping to distract myself from the rejection sadness by doing some new writing and getting excited for future possibilities. DM me on here if you want to get added to the workshop spreadsheet. Congrats to all who have gotten in so far!

    For those of us who plan to apply for a Creative Writing MFA in 2022 (start date 2023)! I saw that last year's thread was created around this time, so I thought I would drum one up.
  34. MDP
    Thank you for the info!!! Now I can brace myself more haha
  35. MDP
    Ah maybe they already have notified then! Thanks @Nightwitch
  36. MDP
    Yes that's the one! It does seem like they're late this year. Maybe they had more applicants than usual. (Sweating...)
