Sumire11

First year, only WLed at Arkansas. Second year, nada. This year, WLed at Arkansas and three other places (including a super competitive reach school). For Arkansas, I used the same sample but heavily modified. I think I am higher up on the list this time, but the process can be pretty random so. For the SoP, I refrained from mentioning that I was repeatedly applying here, just mentioned that this was my third go around.

Saw your entry in the spreadsheet. Really happy for you. Congrats!

Anyone know if fiction results at Arizona are out?

Any sightings of Iowa waitlists?

Oh wow, okay. Didn’t know that.

According to @jka0124, they will be sent through snail mail.

Come on Arizona don't leave us fiction applicants hanging

The remaining ones yes. Hang in there man.

For some reason, your name reminds me of Gabe Newell so... Half Life 3 confirmed? Also, I hope you get into Temple man.

Just curious, but what's up with the fiction results at Arkansas?

This is my third year applying. First year, five rejections with a waitlist that didn't pan out. Second year: crickets. This year, while I'm already drowning in rejections, I have one waitlist and a phase 2 in play that just might turn into something. I understand why people say it's not over until it's over. At the same time, I understand how draining hope can be: as someone who has had one thing go wrong after the other, sometimes, distance is the only way to go. I do hope you get in somewhere. If not, for the next cycle, I wish you better luck. In the meantime, if you have writer friends, talk to them and if you can, apply to online workshops (one of the only reasons I was able to apply again is because of a supportive workshop). At the same time, if you feel the need to take a break from writing, do that. If you want to continue, do that. You only lose your shot at being a writer if you stop, sure, but taking a hiatus never killed anybody. I hope you get in somewhere. PS: This is for anyone who is feeling super shitty. The quote feature is bugging out on me.

Essentially, if anyone wants to be part of a support group/online workshop, we could do that. I became part of a group like that following my second attempt and it had been immensely helpful.

If they are part of the april 15 agreement, no. List: https://cgsnet.org/april-15-resolution-faq Although there were some issues last year according to Reddit. I think @jka0124can chime in better.

This had been the case for poetry, so I don't see this not being the case for fiction.

There were three more calls yesterday, and the Iowa gc thread has been reopened. I hope we're not done.
