OMG CONGRATS!!!!

Yesterday, I didn't focus on a single thing, almost cried when someone asked a totally innocent question about the grad school process, and just kept turning the dryer back on so my clothes wouldn't judge me for not folding them. Today I dragged myself out of bed for an early morning yoga class and I feel much better.

(Technically Iowa but counting it as a soft rejection atm), UVA, NYU, University of Oxford (interviewed last week), and University of Edinburgh. Everything is fine 🔥 I'm fine ☠️

Based on past Gradcafe years, UVA almost always releases their rejections on a Sunday or Monday, but it's normally the first Sunday or Monday in March, so it's still about a week early for them.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! THAT'S AMAZING!

I'M SO GLAD I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO FELT UNPREPARED. I prepped for HOURS and I felt so rung out at the end of it. Thank you for validating my experience 😂

I just had my interview for Oxford's MSt in Creative Writing and ohhh my gosh they asked some questions I was not prepared for. Dying inside a little. But they were incredibly kind and gracious, even when I fumbled my responses. Just putting that out there - I know there was another person or two in this forum who were going to interview for the same program. Don't want to give too much away about the questions, but if it puts anyone at ease, the panelists were absolutely lovely.

Sorry if this is an old question - does anyone know if Iowa, UVA, NYU, or Michigan do interviews before they release their results? I have an interview with a UK school next week for their Creative Writing MSt, but haven't heard back from any USA schools yet.
