I wondered this too 🙃 Seems odd that it's the only one, unless anybody saw anything in Draft?

There's an Iowa fiction acceptance on the results board>?????? Congrats to whoever that is holy shit! Now I'm spiraling.

I'm now at the point where I actively dislike weekends because I feel like there's less chance of getting admissions news. 🙃

For everyone looking for something to do to distract themselves from the constant email refreshing, I just spent a couple of hours compiling a big list of writing residencies I'm going to apply for over the next year, and I honestly feel a lot better. If you're like me and need to feel like you're working towards something instead of just sitting around waiting, I feel like doing something like that would help! Doesn't have to be residencies, but putting plans in place/setting up something new to hope for is important I think. The apps are out of our hands now so might as well give yourself another goal to work towards in the meantime.

Ahhh okay thanks for the intel! Do we think that means acceptances have already gone out? Or is it a myth that waitlist notifs always come after acceptances?

Are the Oregon results from today and do you remember how many you saw? I'm not in the cool kids Draft club yet 😓

Not at all! I did an MFA in screenwriting and spent the last ten-ish years working in the tv industry (which I think will be a pretty hefty strike against me, as I've heard Brown in particular rarely takes people who already have a writing-related MFA). Fingers crossed for you too!! Where are you waiting to hear from?

Thanks! I applied for fiction at Brown, U of Arizona, U of Oregon, and Iowa. All long shots, but since I've already gotten myself in lifelong debt from one MFA program (lol) I decided I'll only do another if it's fully funded and someplace I'd be absolutely hyped to go both program and location-wise. So we'll see!

Hi all, first time posting - at least, first time posting in eight years. 🙃 I lurked this site to the point of actual insanity when I was applying to my first mfa, and I kind of can't believe I'm doing it all again but here we are lol. I told myself I was banned from thegradcafe, reddit, and all the rest until decisions come out but I'm weak and the waiting is killing me so hi! Hope everyone's hangin in there.
