Agreed! I didn't get an interview but it is one of my few pending applications.

I was wondering the same thing! So heartbreaking! It wasn't my top choice for relocation, but I really vibed with the poetry faculty during the interview & love their work. I would have accepted the offer in a heartbeat.

Yeah I was told that Phase II is more of a longlist than a shortlist--meaning that the longlist will still have Rs

I emailed the Pittsburgh faculty that had interviewed me in early February. Unfortunately they had no new updates & confirmed that all of their graduate admissions are still paused. Such a bummer!

If there are any other Pittsburgh interviewees on here, I emailed the poetry faculty to see if they could provide any update or information. I'll post it here as soon as I hear back! ❤️

Fellow waitlister for NC State Poetry. I'm really hoping that I get moved up from the waitlist. (I did email them to let them know of my continued interest in their program.) I would be over the moon to work with their poetry faculty for multiple reasons. Plus it is the one place left in my potential list of schools that my kids' dad could transfer his work (we are currently in Utah)... So... Please universe, please please please! ❤️

I'm still waiting on them, too. I'm hesitant to make a pest of myself by emailing them, but I might this week. I interviewed for poetry on February 7th.

Has anyone heard whisperings from Ole Miss Phase II yet?

There are plenty of incredible writers out there who were not accepted in their first try. I just had someone tell me that Tobias Wolff didn't get in until his second attempt! Tobias Wolff!

It really would be! ❤️ Wishing you best of luck too!! xo

University of Pittsburgh (I had an interview in early February, but they had frozen grad offers) & Ole Miss Phase II. Please Universe, I promise to do amazing work in either of these programs!! ❤️❤️

I mean obviously UVA had to accept SOME poets... but the spreadsheet makes it look like, "Nah, we're just not feelin poetry this year." 🫠

I've been waiting too. Someone reported an interview request on 2/28.

You too! xo

Sorry, I should have noted that I did have an interview on 2/7. I just wanted to check in to see if anyone here had emailed them before I try to check in with them.
