syracuse fiction rejection (via email) on the spreadsheet

i feel like everybody is missing the nicer and more extensive message written at the top of the portal . to be fair i didn't notice it at first either but it's there

according to the spreadsheet last year people started hearing back from the 9th of feb onwards. looks like they're behind schedule this year?

makes sense abt the alphabet thing ; my surname is also quite low down (starts w P)

for those who applied to both texas programs - is michener the one listed as "creative writing" or just "writing" ? i can't remember and it isn't clear on the portal . (still says "in review" but im not exactly hopeful...)

mine lets me log in, but still says “in review” 🤨

woke up to a uc san diego rejection 😍

nah, for poetry again

vandy acceptance just posted on draft

according to the draft spreadsheet last year the first vandy result for fiction came out on the 16th (it was a waitlist)

fingers crossed we'll hear from JHU and/or WUSTL today 🤌🤞

just saw 2 ppl get interviews for rutgers newark on draft ! both poetry. seems pretty early for rutgers-n ?? wonder if somebody’ll be hearing smth for fiction soon.. also another syracuse poet earlier today , tho (based on last year) syracuse tend to spread their poetry and fiction decisions pretty far apart ?

hi guys been lurking here for a while and thought id finally give in and make an account esp since results shld be coming relatively soon ! i'm an international student (from the uk) who graduated uni in 2024 applying for fiction; ik applying for mfas is always a long shot (esp right out of undergrad) but thought i'd give it a go anyway. i applied exclusively to fullyfunded places all across the states: cornell, both texas at austin programs, wustl (inc mcdonnell fellowship), vandy, uc san diego, iowa writers' workshop (of course), brown, johns hopkins, u of miami, u of florida, u of michigan (helen zell), u of virginia, nyu (only one w/out guaranteed funding ik but pleaseeee), both rutgers programs (newark and camden), syracuse, and notre dame. so 18 total lol. i'm hopeful but not optimistic; my favs are probably (no particular order) cornell, san diego, iowa, brown, jhu, nyu, rutgers, and syracuse but obv i'd be chuffed to be accepted anywhere. we shall see. good luck all ! based on the draft 2024 spreadsheet it looks like fiction applicants might hear from johns hopkins and/or wustl this week / early next week? side note: did anybody else get an email from u of miami a few days ago about two factor authentication? the subject title nearly made me shit myself lol
