    Re: UofSC, I turned down my fiction offer earlier today, so hopefully expect waitlist movement there. For what it's worth, I don't think they sent out more offers than they have spots.

    They could just be waiting until 4/15 to start accepting people off the waitlist? Or could be some lag in processing? Or maybe they send more offers out than there are spots... I guess there's also a chance they tell a few people they're number 1 when they're really just near the top and depending on the type of applicant that turned down their offer that's how they choose the alternate (i.e. demographic/overall-vibes wise)?

    Just got waitlisted at UFlorida! I was very close to accepting my offer to UMass Amherst, but will now wait until closer to 4/15. What are peoples thoughts on both programs? I feel like in terms of reputation in the lit world they're similar enough? Everyone at UMass has been very friendly, but they're asking for $6K in fees which seems unfeasible to me entering my first year. I remain... dumbfounded at that surprise price tag. Anyway, appreciate any thoughts on both programs. I don't know if there will be any movement with Florida since they only have two spots to begin with, but still, making my mental calculations now rather than later.

    I did! I definitely had prepared for more writing/teaching practice questions rather than just generic job interview questions, and was very thrown off when I got faaar more of the latter than I expected. I think the beginning of my interview went terribly but the second half went much better? I got good news from the program eventually so I guess it wasn't as bad as I imagined haha

    @EmilyKate1 from my understanding, all acceptances have gone out, and so have waitlist offers. I haven't received a rejection yet, but I don't doubt that's what's coming. Sorry to the both of us! Two is so tiny for a cohort.

    I feel ya, it really does feel like a weird trickle of rejections. I'm guessing acceptances might be next but who knows (and who knows when exactly that'll be)!

    @Rm714 I would still give it another week before checking in, I feel the dates they give are always such a rough estimate.

    this was a poetry acceptance!

    Yeah, there were several rejections posted. I'm also waiting to hear back, it's weird that it doesn't seem like all the rejections went out at once. I could be wrong.

    University of Florida acceptance on Draft... only took 2 poets and 2 fiction writers this year. Down from 3 last year and 6 the year before?

    Do we know if BU staggers rejections? They seem slow coming in / I haven't heard a peep from them.
  22. chuey
    I see a BU Fiction rejection on the results page...
  23. chuey
    I sorta thought there'd be more Iowa fiction acceptances. Could it really be that only 3 of the 20 accepted frequent Draft and Grad Cafe?

    @neche good luck to us both!! I would love to go to Florida, but I'm certain they got my weakest app out of the bunch. No SOP and the smallest word/page count requirement in terms of writing sample.

    I'm waiting to hear from: UMass Amherst (interviewed) UFlorida UNLV BU Iowa (likely rejection, though I don't think all acceptances have been notified yet, could be wrong) I got good news from South Carolina, though the stipend isn't the greatest.
