I was accepted to Montana for fiction but haven't seen much for poetry on GradCafe. There is a post on Draft from someone who received a poetry offer with TA-ship – you could reach out to them if you're on FB!

all my friends are so sick of listening to me stress about mfa programs 😅

Just got the email rejection from Michigan and honestly it barely stung. Here's to this process making us more resilient! 2a/1w/4r/2p

Just wanted to say sorry that you're feeling this way. The entire process is so stressful and competitive. I'm sending you good luck for the rest of your programs, but also serene vibes with the hope that this won't affect your confidence in your writing.

I think that they're just dilly dallying on sending out the rejections, as these schools, somewhat inexplicably, seem to do.

I think I have made peace with the fact that the rest of my schools (4 more, who have all notified at least some acceptances) will be no's and I will end the season at 2a/7r. I think psychologically it is best for me to just cut loose from my expectations re: the other schools and plan as if they'll be rejections. This is the kind of mental gymnastics MFA notification season has brought me to.

I feel this. The super staggered acceptances (especially for schools with tiny cohorts!) just feels so unnecessary and cruel.

Ugh, Oregon State was probably my top choice. There's a faculty member there I would've died to work with. So this one stings. I am le sad.

Just want to say that this is amazing!! I have not done a good job of staying productive slash functional slash remotely creative in these times of great anxiety so I have massive respect for those who have managed to stay focused on writing

send me my decisions u cowards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the intel! I’m just going to assume a rejection then. Ah well, onward and upwards

Anyone get or see anything from Michigan for fiction? Seems like all the posts on the results board are for poetry.

Congratulations!!!!

I only see a waitlist from Oregon State for CNF from this week on the results board. Has there been more posted on Draft?

Well, it's been a mixed bag day for me. Rejected from Oregon via the formiest of form emails just now. But received an offer from Wyoming via phone call this am!! Sorry for all those who got bad news from Arizona today; seems like they had a ton of applicants. Hoping you all get better news soon.
