@Scribe Sorry to bother you, but do you have any insight on this for those of us still huffing copium?

I got the worst level of rejection letter a couple days ago and portal shows me still in progress

Congrats!!!!! I'm wondering about fiction specifically, but that is so exciting!

And no posted acceptances for UF's 6 spots?

Fiction at UH, UNLV, UF, and Irvine 🫣

Hey, trust me - I badly want to believe it and celebrate! I just think it's strange to find out this way and it doesn't feel "official" yet, so I'm looking for clarity before I get my hopes fully up. Glad I'm not alone, either way!

Hmmm so do you think this is reason enough to be cautiously optimistic at a forthcoming acceptance?

Uh, so I got a weird automated email just now from UH's Student Housing (here's an excerpt): Hey, #FutureCoog, Congratulations on your acceptance to the University of Houston, joining the legacy of the UNSTOPPABLE Coogs who came before you! While you plan your next four years, we encourage you to consider living on campus with Student Housing & Residential Life. I went here for undergrad and left 2023, but I did also apply for their Fiction MFA. But that's obviously not "four years". I'm assuming this is just a very odd, ill-timed false flag, because I haven't heard anything from UH otherwise, and the portal isn't showing anything new. Any thoughts? Plot thickens: someone else just entered an acceptance for UH Fiction citing this same email...this is so bizarre.

Wait - I also did a Sackett workshop in Sep-Nov - was yours online and with Keija P.?

4th fiction acceptance reported for IWW...

Litowitz Fiction acceptance on the Draft board

And they're taking two per genre - interesting. is that typical for Litowitz?

Ha- I don't know how I missed that. I did get that email and it does say to disregard "Materials Needed". Whew. Thanks!

Same for me...praying that's a glitch on their side because, if anything, I *oversubmitted* documents lol

DM any of the listed administrators -- I had to do this as well after waiting for a couple of weeks and they were quick to respond/approve me.
