Agree with what others have said, so I'll just add: if this is based on your friend's thoughts on the professors' writing, I wouldn't let that sway them too hard. Sometimes writers whose work we love don't end up being teachers we vibe with, and vice versa.

Michigan rejection just hit for me. Bummerrrr

A bunch of JHU acceptances got reported for both fiction and poetry last week, but Brown doesn't usually notify until early March

Have there been any fiction interviews reported? I thought we were still waiting but maybe I missed it

Sorry, here's hoping you get better news today! They confirmed receipt of my sample back in december but otherwise, this is the first I'm hearing from them.

Sounds like they made offers already; sorry if that's bad news "This year we were overwhelmed by the number of strong applicants competing for a very limited number of spots. Although your application was not among the first offers we made, there is a chance that we’ll be able to extend an offer to you in the coming weeks."

I had the honor of a cute and sexy full rejection zero waitlist sweep last year and now I have a funded offer and a few waitlists. Don't give up even if you get all Rs!!!!!!!!

huge congrats on umich @Tuxedocat and @carly rae jepsenn!!! AMAZING!!! ALSO feeling bewildered bc I just got a waitlist email from Arkansas??? Despite not having submitted the second part of the app? Taking the W regardless but threw me for a loop since I didn't have it on my list lol

Ugh I'm disappointed that today's been so quiet, I really thought it was gonna be a rager

YESSSS CONGRATS!!!! maybe we'll be lumberjacks together!!!

I'm on the edge of my seat about this one too. I would assume no interview is a soft rejection, but no idea when fiction interviews will start popping up (altho I'd assume it could be any time now)

Just wanna echo what others have said (Alabama is a GREAT school!) and validate that I sooo relate to your line of thinking. I think a lot of us are used to instinctively looking for reasons to downplay our own accomplishments, but in this case I think you gotta throw yourself a bone and celebrate that you got into a fantastic program!

Appreciate you!!! Been rooting you on hardcore as well!

Thanks so much y'all!!!! Totally agree, it's my favorite place in the whole world 🥹 I'm so overwhelmed right now

Guys --- I just got the call. Full funding at Northern Arizona. I'm in complete shock. edit: AND I WAS SO AWKWARD ON THE PHONE OH MY GOD lmao
