I saw your username on the spreadsheet and was sorry to see it I wish you luck with the rest of your decisions! Still waiting for my rejection. I wonder if they individually send them out by last name or something?

Looks like Litowitz rejections are going out now. Waiting for mine to hit my inbox. What a strange system! Do they email people one by one or something? I would think they just do a mass rejection email.

RIP definitely feel like Northwestern will release rejections tomorrow and I'll find that in my email. It was my first time applying and I don't plan on applying again. Best of luck to everyone else with whatever decisions are left!

I wish they'd just update their portal with decisions 😧

Some movement on Litowitz saw someone on the spreadsheet put that they were emailed about the waitlist for poetry and nonfiction.

i only applied to the one program and I was also expecting a decision Monday. Waiting sucks.

I just need to get this rejection so I can move on with my life lol. I know it will come this week, but man I wish they'd just tear the bandaid off and send decisions today.

Damn I didn't know they deferred people last year. Isn't their fiction cohort only like 3 people?! My hopes just shot down significantly now lol

Anyone know historically when the Litowitz Northwestern program releases decisions for fiction?

It's out of our hands now. At least you're still writing! I've written two things since applying and the well is dry. I know I need to keep it going now before I get rejected because if I do get rejected god knows how much that will demoralize me lol In the meantime I read.

I keep thinking about the people who are reading my work...and I feel like holy shit are they going to think my work is shitty autofiction? Is it too personal? Is it not plot-driven enough? Does it have momentum? I'm getting in my head about it more, but that's just because I know decisions around the corner for me. It's hard to admit to myself how much I'd like to get accepted. I don't want to get disappointed, but in all likelihood I won't get in! It's such a competitive program 😧

Hi everyone, This was my first time applying. I only applied to one program, which may be stupid, but I also kind of just applied to my alma mater on a whim. I know I've already pressed submit, but I re-read my work and I can't help but think my work sucks, it could've been better etc... Anyway, I'm going to try to distract myself until decision time comes. Best of luck!
