Good question. It took 9 days after acceptances rolled out for me to get my waitlist from Minnesota, so Syracuse is still within that range. I think mid-March would be a reasonable time to reach out.

Continued radio silence from Syracuse has me gnawing at the bars of my enclosure

CSU, UVA, Syracuse (still!), Northern Michigan, Georgia College. Assuming Notre Dame and WVU are waitlists or soft rejections at this point.

I got all rejections save for one waitlist my first round, to my dream school (where I have been waitlisted yet again, go figure), and the final rejection from them didn't come until nearly April 15th. So it was about 4 months of holding onto hope as my odds dwindled. Getting that rejection crushed me, and it took me a year to decide to apply again, but I'm so glad I did. Even if I hadn't gotten any acceptances this year, redoubling my efforts and trying for a second round made me a much better writer. In the end, that's the most important thing.

I am kinda climbing the walls over here waiting to hear from Syracuse (fiction). I'm assuming I was not rejected, since it looks like all of those were sent out days ago. Could they actually be doing acceptances after rejections? Does that ever happen? Or should I be expecting a waitlist? And when 😭? Feels weird being so miserable about this since either an acceptance or a waitlist would count as good news...I just really, really want to know which one! Applying there was for sure my biggest reach.
