do we think uwashington poetry is a soft rejection/waitlist if we haven’t heard by now? it’s the last school i’m waiting on!

on my way to an open house and my parents just told me i got my iowa poetry rejection in the mail:,) no personalized note or anything haha

yay congratulations!!

congratulations!!!!! amazing!! and congrats to everyone who’s gotten good news these past couple of days:)

🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 ❤️ brown 🕯 🕯 poetry 🕯 🕯 summoning 🕯 🕯 circle 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯

i also got the R from vandy! realistically i know it can’t all be good news, so i feel a little silly saying this one and michigan kinda hurt🥲

thank you!! and thank you for the response! the school did even say they’d like to know as soon as possible haha, i just feel bad/sad turning them down lol oh wow i had no idea, my bad! that is really lame :/

what is the protocol for letting schools know you don’t plan on attending? i’ve been fortunate enough to get 3 acceptances, one of which I am pretty certain I won’t be attending for various reasons. i’d like to let them know soon so someone else can get off the WL, but what do i say? is it rude to say no this early? should i let them know it just comes down to time/finances? also, i have a lot of experience with law school apps, and in that realm, it’s common advice that you don’t turn any offers down until you’ve heard back from all your schools. is there any reason why i would want to wait and see before i decline an offer?

i don’t think it’s a faux pas at all! they should (hopefully) want to do everything they can to get you to attend. i have no idea whether you can expect an extension, but hopefully they’re cognizant of the 4/15 deadline other schools have

look up the council of grad schools april 15 resolution and see if the school is listed. if they are, then i believe they have to give you until april 15

congratulations!!!!! amazing news!!!!

i got in for poetry:)

aaaa congratulations!!!!!!!! good luck to all of us!! i don’t think i’ll be able to attend without funding so i really shot my shot lol

yayyyyy congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i also got in😳i can’t believe it

so unbelievably jealous yet so unbelievably happy for you!!!! i hope you’re celebrating all your hard work while you wait for the call:)<3

just got my michigan rejection 🙃

have iowa results for fiction and poetry historically come out at the same time?

yay congrats!!!!!

i don’t think this is insensitive at all! that sucks, and im sorry they weren’t more receptive/helpful. are there more places you’re waiting to hear from? sorry if you have a signature that says- i’m on mobile. i think if you’ve already gotten an A and some WLs, you have a good chance of getting good news from funded programs

thank you both!! this is all such helpful advice!! (also sorry if i’m totally spamming the chat with responding to everyone haha) and i’m so sorry you’ve been feeling this way:(( i really truly doubt that your applications were a waste of time, and you’ve got WLs to prove it!! i’m sure the application committees will be able to figure out any misplaced documents. i’ve gotten both good news and bad news, so if you ever want to dm and talk about it (if that’s allowed!), please do so!

i'm definitely trying to get to this point😅but this is such a good mindset to have, thanks!! and a spreadsheet is such a good idea! idk why i haven't thought of it. i've just been haphazardly making lists of places I want to apply to in my notes app lol. thank you sm for all of your advice! i think i applied too broadly without putting enough thought in last time

oh great, i'll go look for that post! but it's good to know i'm not the only one kinda struggling with this. maybe we can all push each other to just go ahead and submit?? and thank you so much:) congrats on your WLs!!! i'm expecting a Vandy R very soon hehe
