Bowling Green and George Mason acceptances on Draft!

There is a Minnesota acceptance listed in the results page—haven’t heard anything about it in Draft or anything, though!

My friend just got an email for an interview for Iowa so they do send them on the weekends!!

!!! Anyone else receive notification that they have moved to Round 2 for University of Tennessee Knoxville? I'm really excited about this. I know that it is in no way a guarantee of admission and that many applicants may be moving to Round 2, but it is a celebratory moment nonetheless!

I'm applying to all of those except for NYU, Umass and Syracuse! I live like twenty minutes from Amherst though and it's lovely here! I just want to move to a new place. I'm also applying in poetry. Would be so rad to cross paths!

Yes! I am just finishing my first undergraduate degree this semester, as a non-traditional student, and I focused on English and Creative Writing. I will definitely apply again next round if I don't end up anywhere this time--I know people often get in on subsequent rounds, but hey, fingers crossed and all that.

Hi everyone! I just finished my applications to 16 different schools (mostly in poetry, a few for poetry and fiction) and am waiting on fee waivers for my last 3 applications. This has been such an incredibly stressful, daunting and nerve-wracking process so far and we are only just beginning! I endlessly workshopped my SOP and writing sample with two professors and I am still double-checking every so often to make sure I didn't make a mess of anything. How does everyone survive the waiting process!? I also wanted to say that I was able to secure fee waivers for every program so far (other than the final 3) and if anyone would like help with the language to use when asking for waivers or what I had to use as proof of financial hardship, I am more than happy to help!
