Sorry to report our cohort is full at Ole Miss, we've all been introduced to each other already.

Thank you, that helps!

I told Ole Miss I was committing and they said they'd send me my contract yesterday, so I figured I'd take myself off my waitlists after. But I haven't gotten any contract or heard back yet 👀 so now I'm overthinking it.

Same offer ad for @jinny-r if you want any of the info I got from prospective students, or jsut to chat about the program, let me know! I got an offer for fiction.

Thank you (for the username as well, it makes me chuckle lol)

If you want to hear anything from the current students they've connected me to, feel free to DM! It feels like a really fast decision to me now, I can't imagine if you were to get in after April 15th and had to decide.

I was accepted off the waitlist last night! I'm very excited, emailing my other waitlists today to try to get a clearer picture. Three days to decide!

Lol I'm gonna do it I'll tell you what I hear. I'm emailing them and Boise.

Every day I wake up at 6am ET to go work at a high school and immediately start my day of impatiently checking for updates far far before anyone else, especially in other time zones, is even awake to start making them. If I didn't work so early I would be impatient for so much less time. But every day my brain is like what if someone in Boise is starting their day at 4am. I have been refreshing for five hours and they probably just got to work.

Ooh if you do let me know what they say. I'm still waiting for them and Boise as my only ones marked not soft rejections at this point.

Hi! Just wanted to say, I sent an email asking for updates and reiterating my interest to all four of my waitlists and UTK is the only one that didn't respond within the hour. I haven't gotten any responses from them since that first email. I replied to that original email they sent me, so maybe try the portal? I haven't done that yet.

I like to treat the weekend as an email refreshing break and try to do something else. Last weekend it got so bad I picked up watching Grey's Anatomy again.

Yeah I also applied for Boise and heard nothing.

Lol me and like four of my coworkers just spent three professional development lectures making sure we thought it sounded okay. Also, prefacing, I am new to all of this! It was really simple: Hi ___, I just wanted to reach out and reiterate my continued interest in your program. I was wondering if there are any updates on the waitlist. I also want to affirm that if I get off the waitlist, I will most likely accept. If you would like any new information from me, please let me know. Thanks again,

I just reached out to my waitlisted schools to see if they had any updates and reaffirm my interest. Miami Ohio and Ole Miss both said no updates, and ASU said one person accepted and the other four are pending. UTK hasn't replied yet.

Boise and SIU every day I wait for you.

I love the walkability convo, I don't drive so that was like a huge part of where I applied. That and if it was a free application through Americorps.

Oops replied to this before seeing that literally everyone else already had answered lol, they all probably know more than my brother, he doesn't know what's going on half the time!

Idk how helpful this is but my little brother just graduated from undergrad there and none of his friends had a car, they all were fine with the campus community even in their off campus apartments. It's it's own little area. And they're all bougie business majors lol.

I hope there's movement! I'm also feeling pretty good about my waitlists, I'm thinking maybe this week I should reach back out and reiterate my interest? Also really hoping to hear back from those last couple pending schools, it seems like it's cutting it really close! I have to plan a bridal shower this month too so it's feeling like a lot going on.

Boise, Notre Dame, SIU, and WVU.

Guyssss, I just got a Pitt rejection. Are they making moves? 👀

That's insane. I also applied for them. Ugh, what a shitty year to be applying for these programs. I'm a college counselor in a low income area and I'm really worried about my undocumented students this year, even just compared to last year things are so much worse. These are kids that have been here since they were babies, and there's drastically less options than before. I can't imagine it's going to get better as things go on. Programs like these are nervous, they don't want to take any chances.

Every day I wake up at 6am EST and check the time in Idaho and go "okay, it's far too early for them to send anything now," and then check it periodically for the rest of the day wondering what they're up to two hours in the past.

I think I'm good waiting to hear from the waitlists until April 15th, that makes sense. I just want to hear from the schools I still haven't heard from yet! I want to know what all my options are!
