You can email the contact that let you know of your waitlist for an update, but don’t expect to hear much of anything until you have a final offer. I’ve no idea how many spots have been committed / not.

Aaaaaaaand guess who got off of the waitlist?! I’m having INTENSE emotional whiplash right now guys. April 14 and the process is finally over. 8 applications turned into 7 rejections and 1 waitlist turned acceptance. Wow. Anyone reading this in future years just know that the process isn’t over until it’s over! Straight out of undergrad. I’m speechless. I’m going to grad school!! Accepted my offer immediately so anyone still on the fiction waitlist should hear soon if I kicked you off. Hope you still have a shot ❤️ and anyone else going to UofSC reach out! I’m excited to meet you

Well it’s all but confirmed I’ll have to wait until after April 15 to know if i’ i’m going. The currently accepted UofSC students are taking their sweet time to decide. Fair enough I guess, I’m just ready to move on!

Thanks for the update anyway. I’m just going to melt I guess. Can’t believe it’s come down to this.

Does anyone have any more news about South Carolina? It's been a month now since I was waitlisted, and I want a sense of what the people who've been accepted are deciding so I can know whether to keep my hopes up. Exhausted by this process and ready to know whether I'm going to school or going to jump into the job search. EDIT: Specifically if one of you could please peruse/ask Draft for me? I know most the accepted people seemed to be in there but I don't have a FB so I'm not in the group.

Tell me why Alabama just sent me an email celebrating my birthday. Like, sir, you’ve rejected me MONTHS ago. “It takes a special person to have your courage, focus and appetite for innovation. We look forward to seeing where your passion takes you next.” Yeah, wherever it takes me. Not to Alabama though! Laughing my ass off… this process is so unserious.

I’m very early in the alphabet! So maybe.

Rejection from Brown earlier today! Luckily I’ve gotten personal good news and was expecting this given yesterday so it didn’t really hurt. 0a/1w/7r Now it’s time to bother my waitlist school more I guess! I’ll update one last time when I know from them. Crazy to see this process come down to the wire. Feeling a bit blessed and a bit cursed (from even more waiting to come!). This is almost the end of the road for me. Thanks for helping me along ❤️

Are you the one on gradcafe? I’m guessing that means the rest of us are waiting on rejections.

Also saw an acceptance on Gradcafe. RIP Guess I'm just waiting for the official rejection.

I only knew of poetry having gone out! Choosing to believe they did some fiction as you suggest so I can imagine I made it past a round if I get rejected. Best of luck to you on other schools / hope you have somewhere great to go to!

They better give me good news if they’re landing on my birthday.

I am dealing with this: 0 acceptances and 1 waitlist. I’m really aggressively hoping to get in off that list. Honestly I’m waiting for Brown moreso to be done hearing back than out of any hope for an acceptance. My current goal is for enough schools to notify that people start committing or rejecting my waitlist uni and I can finally plan the rest of this year.

I wish they would have said if it was for fiction or poetry. Need to know when to give up!

For Brown fiction applicants: I took a look through Brown’s pattern of notifying as far as gradcafe has reliable info for. It looks like both programs have notified on the same day for many years in a row… until 2021. Then and 2022 both notified over a week apart. So we might be waiting quite a while yet. Let me know if you have better/more updated information! I just want this process over *sobs*

my false hope is SKYROCKETING to unsafe levels. I’ve heard nothing for fiction

Dear spam callers with area codes from the northeast… now is NOT the time.

Feels like the longest shot for me too, and I think it's going to hurt the hardest. Thank you so much for your kind wishes. And dear schools, rip the bandaid off already!!

Right. Like yay... an even longer wait... Resuming my plea to those accepted on here/Draft to let South Carolina know your final decision ASAP. End of March at earliest he said *cries*

I'm expecting Brown this week or next based on previous years, and then I'll be done. At least, until I get notification on if I'm off the waitlist. Low hopes for Brown, high hopes for getting in off that list... we'll see. What an emotionally taxing process, guys. Phew.

If you figure it out, let me know. I'm about ready to start planning more intensely under the assumption none of mine work out. I was holding out more hope until now. I know the hurt will pass, but damn is this process brutal.

The Virginia rejection sucks. I don't know why, but I really had it in my mind that I had a stronger chance there than these other places. I even applied there in both fiction and poetry. I still have to wait and see, but I really don't see myself getting into Brown after all of these results, and that's my last school. So, I'm pretty sure I'm about to end this season at 0a/1w/7r, and no idea whether I'll get off that UofSC waitlist or not. Trying not to take it too personal but I had a lot of hope riding on this last batch.

Asking again, can anyone with access to draft look at the South Carolina news there? I'm trying to figure out how likely the accepted fiction students are to give up their spots (aka how hopeful I should be for my chances on the waitlist).

It's all we can do. I'm fighting like hell (read: continually emailing with questions and expression of interest) to get off the South Carolina waitlist in fiction because I'm not confident in my remaining schools (Brown & UVA). Maybe it'll work out well for us both and we'll meet there!
