Hello all.
New to gradcafe but not to this forum as I have been lurking for the past week. Decided to finally join because I saw a UO acceptance went out and am now on the verge of freaking out.
Does anyone know if they send out all their acceptances at once? I'm not familiar with the admissions process.

Just got the "no thanks" email from Northwestern. Not surprised – still stings a bit though.
I know it's disappointing but ultra competitive MFA programs don't have the final say in your worth and validity as a writer. It's not humiliating to put yourself out there. You're pretty much going to have to for the rest of your life if this is something you want to pursue. It's helpful for me to remember the reason I applied in the first place: to learn and to improve. An MFA program is a really great opportunity to do that, but it's not the only way it can be done. I'm gonna write no matter what.
