yes! i was also waitlisted apr 1st (this season, for better clarity). the coordinator said acceptances have went out (and presumably all waitlists, too, but im not sure). they said we'll have more news next week if there's any movement probably cuz the 15th is coming up.

out of curiosity, can i ask what the michener rejection notice looked like? everyone seems to have poor opinions of it

congrats on the waitlist !! hoping your other schools work out for you! i am kinda sorta in the same boat -- i graduated may '24 at 21 so i am still very much 22 and still very much worried about being perceived as too young/inexperienced/etc. i am hoping they at least acknowledge the year's gap, which i took to really flesh out my work/save money, but i am kicking myself in not mentioning how i am spending it in my sop/personal statements (mostly just talked about my writerly interests/why i write/what i hope to do, which is to become a teacher/professor ultimately) / my favorite schools didn't require a CV detailing internship/scholarship stuff, so i didn't include mine, and UGH i so wish i did bc they did allow extra documents. i am really gunning towards finishing school here in the u.s. so i can freely move overseas to my other home country afterwards, so i am really praying for any acceptance this year lol, even though i know there is a practical reason why most schools prefer older candidates/there is a very real possibility i can't compete. im so scared!!
