According to the Draft data last year, both schools sent out info early to mid Feb

I know that checking the forums and the draft every 5 minutes won't change the immutable timelines of the admissions committees but i can't stop myself :,(

I'm officially losing my mind, I just stared at the draft notification sheet chanting "update update update update". I'm just getting over a gnarly fever so I will blame it on that

It feels so slow, I'm ready to suffer!! Bring on the onslaught! I'm sure there's something to be said for enjoying this transient period, but I'm ready to know and plan accordingly. I keep checking program websites as if they hold some unfound secret for me to find.

I've been writing prompts from a book I have (3 a.m. writing prompts) and filling my down time with events and friends. It's been hard on my bank account but good on my psyche. I also try not to check any of this when I get off work since I have all of this open on my work computer all day lol

OSU Fiction waitlist posted in Draft notification sheet 👀 Edit: another for poetry and nonfiction just went up, all waitlists

You're inspired me to throw one last application out but then the application fee hit and oof :,( doesn't hurt to hedge my bets I guess lol

Made an account because I'm too full of anticipation to just lurk anymore. Hi! This is my second round of apps, I first applied for 2022 straight out of undergrad and got all rejections and one waitlist. My SOP was kind of trash looking back on it and I've fine tuned my writing sample, though I still used pieces I workshopped in college. Few of my pieces feel like they're as polished as those because they haven't been workshopped, though I revised them substantially. Anyway, hi all. All the schools I applied to (only 5 this cycle, I want to live in a specific part of the country and really did my research this time) typically get back to people Feb-March yet I have the draft sheet open on my work computer all day and both the forum and the Draft open as well. On the bright side, I too want to join what will become a past thread for someone else to anxiously scroll through in the future as they anticipate responses from schools. :)
