I want to go to Syracuse so badly. Being on the waitlist is a good thing, I know it is. But it's torturous. Lol.

i'm glad i'm not alone in having done this, though. i knew it was a risk to include such a dark piece. but i was proud of it, and i want to be somewhere that wants to work on it with me, you know?

Woah that's possibly darker than mine! Was not expecting that. Are your other stories dark too?

I'm just really worried I turned off a bunch of schools with my story. Laugh out loud. Has anyone here been accepted with a story that they were worried was too dark?

Rn I'm at 0a / 3w / 5r / 8p, but most of those pendings have been soft rejections. I'm not discouraged exactly—I know being waitlisted is good news—but I'm still starting to worry that I won't be in a cohort in the fall. On the one hand, that gives me the opportunity to reapply with more focus than I did this time. But ahhhhhh the stress!!!!!!!!!! How are you guys coping with it hahaha. I feel like I'm going to break down. Edit: I'm also worried that one of the stories I applied with was "too dark." Do you guys have any works that you would workshop were you to get in, but would never put in the application?

waitlisted at syracuse.........

I'm so stressed out about Syracuse too!! Still haven't been rejected, but I feel like there's no way they sent out rejections before acceptances? Then again, there aren't any acceptances or waitlists on the spreadsheet. God I'm nervous. Lol.

Does anyone know if it's possible if Syracuse sent out rejections before acceptances/waitlists this year? I see on the MFA Draft spreadsheet that there are a ton of rejections but no acceptances/waitlists. But I'm guessing ppl who got acceptances or waitlists just aren't in the group?
