Reached out to UC Irvine & this is what they said: The committee has made their decisions and recently made offers and notified waitlisted applicants. I’m sorry we won’t be able to offer you admission at this time. Due to the large number of applicants, we are only able to admit about 3%. So unfortunately, we have to turn away some good writers. The decision letters will be posted to the online portal this week. We appreciate your patience and wish you the very best in your writing endeavors.

RE: UC Irvine - sorry to all of us who've been waiting! Admissions Timeline

Another confirmed acceptance to UC Riverside (UCR) on Draft, in case anyone is wondering! I can't deal with this waiting!

I received my Iowa rejection in the mail (I think it was postmarked 3/3 or something like that) & I was notified of my Notre Dame acceptance a couple of weeks ago post-interview.

Rejections from Irvine in the past have come out the last day of March.

Has anyone here heard back from UC Irvine's or UC Riverside's MFA program (for fiction)? I'm keeping my hopes up in having a local school option to choose from!

Just a heads up: someone posted on Draft that they were accepted at UC Riverside's MFA fiction program. Guess they're making their way calling accepted students!

I'M WAITING AS WELL! I didn't know about the online secrecy bit -- what would the point of that be?

Congratulations! This is a dream problem to have :') You're 100% sure you wouldn't go to those other schools even if you received GTA funding?

This was for prose! I was told ten folks were placed on a shortlist to interview.

what school is this for?

First of all, are you getting an MA just to get an MFA? I don't think it works like that. If an MFA is your dream degree, focus on your writing and SOPs. Secondly, what do you want to do with your degree(s)? If it's just to have a Master's, yeah, then I guess go for it, but remember you're spending 4-6 years of your life studying for something. (sorry if i'm coming off crabby -- i'm just tired of grad programs making us think we have to jump through bureaucratic hoops to get in when our talent should speak for itself)

Thank you! Yeah, I'm hoping to hear back from So Cal programs, or else I'm moving very far away (x

Just received my rejection from Michigan for fiction
