i’m on my second round and i think most people have to do a second round, sorry. i applied to a lot more schools – that’s the biggest intentional change. otherwise the shift comes from having to create a new/stronger sample and having a better grasp on how admissions works. i’ve also now gotten acceptances/interviews at all three of my unfunded safety schools, so don’t be tempted to apply to these just because you feel desperate – they are not worth it. but yeah, second rounds are common and they are not that bad, hate to break it to ya
-
there’s no set time unfortunately. everywhere is different
-
there are no good safety schools that are fully funded. i applied to a few unfunded safeties and got in to at least one prob 2 but i dont think it’s worth it. i regret those applications. you can only do the mfa once and you should keep trying for a good program.

no.

yeah i'm feeling like this is a lie! ALTHOUGH someone did report an iowa this early last year but it was for the literary translation MFA, so it could very well be that. whatever it is, i'm not super worried
-
nobody on draft has heard and there's still four days
-
they said by 2/15
-
it wasn’t either of those! there’s plenty of data out there to suggest when you might hear, so i suggest taking a breather until you see results on draft or on here. also if it’s your first time applying i’d try not to ride everything on these two extremely selective schools. i was very upset about my first round being all rejections but it made me hunker down and work harder the next year.

fiction!

So, here’s my situation: I’m sitting on a really good fully funded offer, but also an admit to Emerson and have an interview on Zoom with Stony Brook. These other two are not fully funded and undoubtedly less solid – I only applied because I didn’t want to also fail my second round of apps. I feel bad about it lol, and I wish the situation was that I had three solid choices instead of one and two fake ones, just for like ego’s sake I guess? PS is anyone ever paranoid that admissions people look at this site? i know it’s anonymous, but…. 2A/2R/0W/16P not counting soft rejections
-
also wondering. Oregon and Indiana seem ripe for picking
-
this has definitely been explained multiple times here but search “mfa draft ‘25” on facebook. it’s a private group that you request to join and there you will find said spreadsheet link.
-
i’d bet probably maybe yes??? i think they accepted 4 last year so it’s somewhat likely the other 3 are not drafting
-
yeah waiting on oregon state for fiction. it's possible that other accepted ppl aren't on draft
-
I've been accepted to Alabama for fiction! So unreal. Cannot function. This is my second round of apps and I was feeling super pessimistic these past few days. 1A/0W/1R/18P

Heyyy everyone. I gave into my worse instincts and made an account, but I've been lurking since the beginning of the 2024 cycle and am no stranger to the obsession. This is my second round applying (obviously), and I've applied to 20 schools for fiction. I see that an Alabama poetry acceptance on draft, and I can also see that last year they released all genres on the same day (2/12). Curious if any fiction people have heard anything, or if anyone's portal has changed from "Department review in progress" to "awaiting final review?" 0A/0W/1R/19P
