I'm sorry for your loss.<3

Not weird at all. Signs are all around us... Last summer, leading up to application season, I found an Iowa stamp fridge magnet with a cornfield and a tractor on it. I've kept it since and I've been trying to imbue it with positive energy to boost my chances of acceptance through manifestation😂

Not to my knowledge. I am a faithful sentinel. Should a poetry result be reported, on Draft or even Twitter, I will be here quietly yelling about it instantly

Well well well! Seems there are SEVERAL rounds of congratulations in order! Daniel, congrats, but we all knew this was coming 😂 Scribe, AJ, all I have to say is -- CALIFORNIA LOOOVE! have a great celebratory weekend, all.

thank you sm for the info @cowboifairy! also, mad at you, because now I want to go to Brown even more than I did before 🤣

before i was just talking about googling people from draft's names to see if they have publications!

@pomelo ahahaha yes the poets ! such a mood. I love seeing other people's work cuz it's a little taste of what being in the program could be like. Btw i do feel like it's strange that you haven't gotten a wl, watch your last four schools all be wl 😂

I'm mildly bummed that the NWP and Michener acceptances don't seem to really be on here or Draft meaning i can't stalk them and read their work😂

Ya ofc! and thanks for the well wishes:) same to you! here's the list so far... UVA, WUSTL, Brown, Michener, UMich, Iowa, UW-M, Syracuse, Cornell, NWP, Vanderbilt, UofOregon, Northwestern Litowitz.

Got my michener rejection. Gotta say, I'm grateful for my waitlists, but I was really hoping for a funded acceptance by now. Brown, UVA, and Iowa are p r e t t y long shots and I'm feeling discouraged. However, my list for next year is looking spiffy!

YESSS U DID THAT!!!! BE PROUD!!

The slow creep of Michener rejections is killing me... I keep logging into the portal expecting it to be there

are we thinking Iowa will start calling for poetry this week? I'm not ready...

@ssuunn you're a hero for our times

Omg, I really wish I was this organized!!

Lol, anyone else made their 2025 list in case this season doesn't work out ? 😂

Understandable, but I think you deserve to celebrate nonetheless!! Congrats!

@sunnysequoia HAPPI BIRTH!!!!

Yes, I am! I believe many are. At least one of the reported rejections on the spreadsheet came from someone with a B-name... so I'm thinking they're slowly going through and sending out rejections.

The weekend is an endless gulf between me and more news. Which I seek, like an anteater seeks ants, or, like, a vacuum. I'm not a good writer right now. Let's have a weekend thread! Distraction! What is everyone doing this weekend? - I'll probably go for a walk in the woods to try to disconnect for at least 30 minutes. (Don't laugh).

Yeah, this is making me feel like poetry will for sure be coming out next week... I'm sweating

IWW called someone on Draft just now!

I thought it was all snail mail for rejections, idk.

okay but this is a mood. I read my "thanks for the waitlist!" emails out loud to my mom, lol.

For those who applied to NWP, an acceptance just appeared in the sheet!
