Quite sure poetry has gone out—I've seen both acceptances and a few waitlists starting from 02/07. Don't know why they would be swearing fiction applicants to online secrecy and not the poets. I've also seen fiction admits posting from former years. So I would assume that they haven't notified fiction yet... still, possibly, however, I'm just being optimistic! 🤞

Huge congrats!!! UC Irvine, correct? Did they call you?

Does anyone have perhaps some- perhaps hopeful for those of us who have applied this cycle- insight into the fact that there is far less engagement, and far fewer active members, on the forum this year as opposed to last year and the years previous? I'm especially noticing a dearth of fiction applicants. This is notable, as it, in my opinion, relates to a lag in literary vigor in the past year. I'm wondering if this is being reflected in the amount of applicants for MFAs. Curious what you think. x
