Congrats, and thanks for letting us know! The Ark waitlist seems rather large, so good luck yall!

If I was planning or able to pay for an MFA, Naropa would be one of my top choices (boulder is great, and their program looks amazing). I didn't apply though as they only fund three spots (out of what i imagine is a very large cohort).

Got denied from LSU just now. The denial letter basically just said 'denied' and then mentioned the grad school and the programs GPA requirements, which I found odd considering I met/exceeded them. Anyone else get the same denial letter?

yeah i was willing to give a lot of schools the benefit of the doubt. But university of Oregon sent out acceptances/waitlists in january and still have yet to send out fiction rejections. Like, I know i'm rejected, but what about the people who aren't in draft or here and think they still have a chance?

from what i can tell, acceptances and waitlists are out for LSU, starting early march. I applied and am counting it as a soft decline at the moment.

Anyone else waiting on LSU or heard back? I saw one 'waitlist' on march 1st at draft, but seems like radio silence otherwise.

i was offered my first acceptance -- but without funding, and I thought the program was fully funded. I emailed back 'pretty please', we'll see what happens, but i doubt they just say 'since you asked nicely, here's like $100k', but it'll be a tense weekend while I wait.

I'm also on the waitlist for fiction at arkansas, and i've gone the copium route of thinking 'it's a 4 year program with a heavy teaching load and a small stipend -- it's very likely someone who got accepted will go somewhere else instead.' may us both get in off the waitlist!

Grats! ask them to send out their rejections, as they still have not!

I recently moved away from Tempe because i couldn't handle the heat. I hope y'all that got into AZ are prepared!!!

Maybe a long shot but does anyone have info on Louisiana state university? Anyone else apply and still waiting to hear back? Looks like they're on spring break this week; I was expecting a response before that based on the last few years of data. edit: their website says mid march, so i'm guessing next week should have results.

There has been 1 acceptance for poetry and 1 for nonfiction, both submitted on friday. It's possible acceptances are still rolling. Good luck! I thought for a while about applying there, it looks great. Nothing for SIU.

Just got waitlisted for ole miss. Gosh, so close!

Grats! What genre did you apply for? i'm in the same boat as you with only waitlists. It's tough, but gives me hope for next round (if none turn into A's).

only a few schools do 'rounds' - ole miss and arkansas are the only two i applied to this time that use 'rounds'. what it means is instead of the 'full application', including fees, lor's, etc, you send in just your writing. from there, they ask a smaller group from that 'first round' to submit the 'full application' for round two. it's a great system imo!

ole miss round 2 fiction seems to be in a weird state - 1 waitlist in results here, but no acceptance/rejections listed here or in draft. Poetry results seem to be all out though! I thought i'd be hearing one way or another from them today (praise be the summoning circle).

Just got waitlisted at Arkansas! My magic isn't as strong, but the summoning circle works.

I'm starting my on call rotation at work this week, so there's also a worst third option for me!

GRATS!!!!!

I officially let my apartment know i'm not renewing my lease. I now have 59 days to either get an acceptance and move to wherever wants me, or find another apartment around here for another year while working on next years applications. As if the process couldn't be more stressful 😮‍💨

careful y'all, this website just downloaded another malicious .exe on my computer. How absurd!

I'm sorry to hear it. I ran into the 'more rejections than pending, no acceptances or waitlists' wall yesterday and it hit me hard. I hope the best for you!

Just checked the portal for NWP and i'm rejected. Dang, that was my number two school. The rejections outweigh the pending now. Gonna have to start thinking about what my life looks like w/ no acceptances. Blah.

I think scribe is just trying to say they got waitlisted. (acceptances and waitlists for NWP just went out today).
