hopeful poet 2025

Really thinking we will start to get a lot of answers this week. Wanted to hop in and tell y'all that I got an acceptance call from Texas State (poetry) today! I was at work, so it was totally chaotic. Bianca Perez was so kind, though. She told me she will call me again with information regarding funding in about two weeks, after their spring break. I was also offered half-line funding from Stony Brook. They told me I am in consideration for full funding if more money becomes available or someone doesn't accept their full-time TAship. I really like all the programs I applied to-- whether fully funded or partially-- but I need to make it make sense financially for me. So fingers crossed I get good funding news from some where! Rooting for all of you!! ❤️ 2a/1w/2r/6p

hiii just got a waitlist at UMass Boston! Does anyone have any insight on their program. Love Boston, and love the work of the faculty! also, for people with acceptance from stony brook: has anyone heard any information regarding funding? 1a/1w/2r/7p

Hey! Wanted to pop in and say I just interviewed at Stony Brook, with Julie Sheehan and Christine Kitano. They were both lovely, and the interview was short and sweet. We did not talk about funding, but am hoping to get more information on that after a (hopeful) acceptance. Congrats to everyone who has gotten interviews and acceptances! & remember, for better or worse, there is lots of news yet to come. 1A/0W/1R/9P

thank you!! i also have been lurking, made this account to report the rejection. it is nice to have this community! i have heard good things about Concordia. best of luck!!! & congrats to everyone who has gotten acceptances and waitlists already!

Yes, for multi-genre. I have been doing a lot of hybrid work, so I went for it. It is the only program I did multi-genre, though some others are untracked programs. Really like the Camden location/have a large community in the Philly area. We will see what happens!

Hey, wanted to pop in & say that I just received a poetry rejection from Syracuse. (It is the one on Draft). Not the best news, but trying to stay upbeat, since it was the first I have heard from my schools. Relieved to just get the first bandaid ripped off. Also have applied to: University of Wisconsin-Madison, University of Arizona, Hunter, Stonybrook, UMass Boston, University of Kentucky, Texas State, Rutgers-C, and Rutgers-Newark. 🤞
