NYU waitlisted me on March 7th via email, I'm a fiction applicant. I haven't received any admissions updates from them since then, only responses to my questions about the program.

Is anyone else considering The New School? I would love to discuss what your thoughts are!!

thank you this is super helpful!! yeah upon reading again "leverage" was absolutely not the right word to use lol

i got waitlisted at one of my top choices, and accepted to a program i feel fine about. i feel like i read somewhere that if you get an acceptance, you can tell the waitlist and somehow use it as...leverage?? maybe?? i truly don't remember, does anyone know what i'm talking about LOL

I applied to BU as a fiction applicant and got my rejection on 2/21/2025

i got into the new school with a scholarship that covers 60% of tuition. it's still like insanely expensive etc etc but im truly stunned. also i applied for their childrens/YA program idk if anyone else is in that genre specifically???

also haven't heard anything yet -- but you're the only person I've come across who also applied to The New School!

Mine also changed, within the last 3 hours because it was still "under program review" when I checked this morning. I don't want to break my own heart by reading into things but I'm taking any sign I can get tbh

waitlisted at NYU for fiction, i really thought i would get no positive news this cycle!!! my only goal was to get at least one waitlist i'm insanely proud of myself

Rutgers-Newark just sent me an email with the subject line "You're invited to a..." and it was to a goddamn info session i'm so riled up

How many people are in Brown's cohort roughly? Esp their fiction cohort? I've had a hard time finding this info anywhere

I feel exactly the same and I wish I could email to ask, it feels in such poor taste to give this kind of hope to people they are 100% sure they're not going to accept...very frustrating!!

A question that's unrelated to admissions/applications, as a palate cleanser! I'm a fiction writer, but I'm really interested in creative nonfiction, mostly because I have no idea what it is. For the CNF writers: how did you discover your genre? What are your favorite pieces of CNF writing?

this honestly made me feel so much better and is such a great way of framing it -- maybe i'll be rejected, but at least it took them a while to decide!! thank you for sharing your professors' wisdom

Why is Johns Hopkins staggering rejections??? It seems like fiction rejections went out last week on 2/18 and 2/19, but I still haven't received mine. I don't understand the point of this at all! Is this normal?

this rules

do we think pittsburgh has already sent out all interview invites (fiction specifically)?

how are y'all keeping yourself sane during the wait?

Hi all, my first time posting! I received some pretty bad personal news and I want to impulse apply to more programs about it (I've already applied to 11 schools, but I need something to do with my brain and my hands!). What programs' deadlines haven't passed yet? I've already applied to Brooklyn College and New School (due today), and Hunter College (due Feb 1st). I'm a fiction applicant. TIA!
