Scribe

I posted a link to the site on page 62

just found it! along with two others on the waitlist. now all i need is to find out where they live... *twirls moustache* MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA! @writernity "I did check my portal, there's no changes on it and everything is marked as received. I definitely didn't send an official-official transcript though, so I expect they'll probably request that soon?" maybe. did you send an unofficial or none at all?

Do NOT fuck with me. are you serious? where? who? I don't see that on the sheet. Check your portal. I just found out I'm missing not one, but TWO recs. If there's anything missing from your application it may be highlighted there. I see that someone offered funding said they received an email to check the portal. it makes it seem as though that is where they found their offer. that's why i checked even after receiving the email. man, this is a lot.

I'm sorry. I really don't mean to make anyone feel bad by posting. but to me, this actually feels like an acceptance. If it makes you feel better i applied to Syracuse once. they rejected me twice. I shit you not. who gets rejected twice?

congratulations!! guess who else! as for your questions, i dunno. someone got an offer for 25% tuition and a $6500 stipend.

The funding package requires you weave counterfeit alpaca rugs for export and the classrooms smell like rusted feet. Ricockulous. That would be unethical.

Just curious, no reason at all to ask. In fact, asking for a friend. The friend, if i didn't mention it, is just curious. did anyone here get into the NWP for fiction or does anyone here know anyone who was accepted for fiction? Because I've heard, my friend I mean, my friend has heard that the fiction program over there is horrible. if you got in or know someone who has, do not go!

This is how I’d play it. I think it’s unethical for the rest of you.

One or two people have asked about Arizona. Someone on draft reports they are dealing with "major debt issues" and wonders if that is affecting the notifications.

Older. 31. That’s cute.

exactly this. I've been a ditchdigger for almost 25 years. i went to school at night and on weekends so I'd have a degree when i retire this summer. i was a laborer and a college student. what will i be now? i was going to be a grad student.

I've been waitlist in three places but hard rejected in 5. Then there's Vandy, NC, and now NYU. It doesn't look good for a bunch of others for a few reasons, the least of which is recommender failure. None of the school's i've been waitlisted at offer livable, or even close to livable money. And the big deal is, i have 18 schools left to hear from and do not feel confident at all. So despite the waitlists, I feel as you do. I applied to 27 schools because i want this so badly. and i'll take anywhere. I'm running out of time. i think this year, this first year of applying is it for me. i've been really happy for everyone and i REFUSE to shit on anybody's tomatoes. I think encouraging others helps a lot but sometimes i feel like a fraud. i'm telling the truth to everyone else but i cannot convince myself. and maybe we have something else in common; maybe how we feel comes from somewhere else inside and not because of the scoreboard under our names.

hey, has anyone who got that weird stony brook email heard back?

I applied but have no idea about anything. like, at all.

Okay. Now I’m just sick.

Joyce Carol Oates and Ocean Vuong are why.

YESSSS!!!! congratulations! this makes me super happy. also, i hate you.

I just want to take a moment to say that I've done my best to be as supportive to others as they've been to me. I think my greatest failure in this regard has been in not reaching out to everyone individually to congratulate or encourage. Still, this is a sin of laziness, at worst neglect. Where active effort is concerned, I believe all of my posts have been positive or supportive. If there is something I have said or done to upset anyone, it wasn't my intention. still, I stand by my efforts to help make a better world and to contribute to this board in a positive way. It is a wonderful place and i want to be a part of it.

I applied for fiction. Congratulations. It seems a unique program geared toward both practicality and the art of the work.

Whew! So glad you found that out. I’m sure it’s a load off. either way, it’s a good problem to have. congratulations!

This will do wonders for my anxiety.

Fantastic. Congratulations!

What I should have said was “schools that are likely to offer full funding”. I was under the impression that if a school wasn’t on the list, it would be next to impossible to go. At a pretty late stage I had one Professor tell me to apply the NYU because they have a lot of money and often give it away. Another told me Columbia wouldn’t offer full funding but a free ride was quite possible. On my own I discovered that hunter’s a free ride with a likely possibility of a ta or ra spot. then I watched people here or on draft get offers from schools that weren’t on my radar. maybe someone should make a list.

Jesus Vandy. Take your time.

This. thank you so much.
