Thanks. It's really a hard decision, but I have a nice non-MFA offer somewhere so I might as well spend the next couple of years "getting a real degree lol" before I'm back to do this again. I'm also waitlisted at Michigan and very likely to remove myself from the waitlist there too. Michigan and the non-MFA, that's were the decision is toughest!

Yea, I had a call with Melissa. She was nice but they're giving off the vibe that they want a complete cohort urgently. So she was asking what other options I was weighing etc. If it's any consolation to you lovely people on the waitlist, I am 90% sure I won't be taking up the offer even though it's my only MFA offer this season.

Thanks @Chex Fiction @tiramisu22

Got in at Ole Miss 🥺🥺

Congrats! I've been so rooting for you from the shadows here 🎊🎉

Congrats! A NYer rejection is actually VERY big!

Hi, most of the big programs offer fee waivers and you could ask "smaller" ones just in case. I'm rooting for you this season, but just thought to put it out there that one can always ask for a waiver even if it's not explicit from the program or grad school website. I applied to a lot of schools and only paid for three.
