Any thoughts on idaho? program seems wonderful and I love the faculty, I just keep saying to myself do I really wanna live in the middle of nowhere for 3 years? But then again it can’t be that bad, probably good to focus on my work… also people live in Iowa, so…. its also a 2:2 teaching load but the more I talk to current students that doesn’t seem too off putting. It seems manageable any thoughts on living there or the program?!

out of curiosity: has anyone been accepted off a waitlist yet this season?

perhaps a silly question but, alas… for waitlisted folks, will we be notified when current offers are accepted? is it safe to assume if we haven’t heard anything yet, that spots are still pending?

just turned down an offer that I really wanted to make work, in literally my dream location and with a lot of really great program components… but ultimately I didn’t think that the faculty there were the right fit for me and my work and I believe I’ll get more/better support and mentorship at a different program. on paper this program was perfect but I just can’t for some reason look past these weird vibes with the faculty. it’s bittersweet, especially not knowing where I’ll be ending up but I hope I made the right call because it’s so hard to feel good about any of this or know what’s “right” sigh. 😔😫

I’m also waiting on them for cnf. Did you hear anything back from them yet about waitlist size?

Hi! What genre are you? And do you mean Oregon state or Ohio? I don’t think there will be waitlist movement until after the first week of April. A lot of schools have spring breaks this week or next, and then AWP is end of March. My assumption is accepted students weekends will likely be early April- after that we should see movement!

I’m curious how do they decide who to fund Also they only admit 5 students total? Or is it 5 per genre and 2 funded per genre

ooooh i see. yeah I’ve only heard good things about this program and it’s community. I just feel like if I know not everyone’s funded equally it might make for a tense or competitive atmosphere, no? what are people’s thoughts on this

CSU folks…does anyone know how many students they fund/how many are offered GTA positions? I always thought this was a fully funded program!! kinda don’t like that they don’t fund everyone?? also curious bc it slipped my radar this year but what do folks like about this program in particular? I might consider it for next year (I love CO)

does anyone have any info on Oregon states waitlist size ? or any info at all I haven’t heard anything back from them since I emailed a few weeks ago

do we know if unlv is done notifying? there’s been a few random notifs in draft but nothing besides that. Are they normally that spread out? Also does anyone have info on when Rutgers-Camden typically notifies?

that’s great! It’s such a hard decision so I’m wishing you the best of luck! 💕 always happy to chat on here as you weigh your choices and weigh pros and cons, as I’m deliberating some of the same cnf programs!

congrats! WVU seems like a really cool/great program! Where are you still waiting to hear from? I also got into idaho and I’m on the waitlist at Oregon state (which is my dream) so we have some overlap it seems! how are you feeling about those 3 schools and do you have a top choice right now? Idaho seems really great so far 😊

Yes it came with my acceptance. My best guess is they might be waiting to see if any offers are declined then they’d have more $! it is very stressful but I have my fingers crossed for you!

FWIW I got an acceptance Friday from CSU for cnf, I got the impression they don’t fully fund everyone/ not everyone with funding has a GTA. So delay in acceptances could be from that. I know of 4 cnf accepted students only 2 of us have a GTA, and out of 12 accepted students there were 2 or 3 offers without funding sent out
