can anyone weigh in on waitlists? i’m waitlisted at my top choice and accepted to my second choice. both are april 15 signees but i’m reading info on draft about final decisions coming after and even long after apr 15. what is best practice if you’re still waitlisted on apr 15?

looks like there is one UW Seattle fiction acceptance call on draft. if they really are only accepting 2-3 per genre, then i’m going take this as a rejection! at this point in the process i’m just looking for closure

fyi the post ended up being a bit misleading but after the poster said that they sent an email asking about their own application status, it wasn’t an email sent to general applicants, just a personal response to their question

anyone here apply to western washington university?

It made me wonder if they sent it to people who are for sure going to be accepted/waitlisted when decisions come out?

uw prose applicants — someone on draft said they got an email saying uw hoped to release prose decisions within the next week or so. i applied for prose but didn’t get this email. any other uw seattle prose applicants get it?

U of o fiction rejection just came thru!

@guntherpingu @greenleaf thank you both for your thoughts! i had not thought about it like this so that helps!

does anyone have insight/experience on why programs wait to deliver rejections until a while after acceptances/waitlists go out? understandably, there is a lot of movement with waitlists and acceptances, but (correct me if i am wrong) a rejection seems set in stone. so what is the rationale behind waiting to send them?

It looks like it was a call

UW poetry acceptance on the draft. comment says only 2 people accepted this year (for poetry i’m guessing?)

@delraiser @frootkoops36 @strawberrymatcha fingers crossed we get decisions this week!

anyone waiting to hear from uw seattle, saint mary’s of ca, or u of oregon?

i’m taking the silence as a rejection. judging from last year’s draft, they sent rejections almost 10 days after acceptances.

anyone know if are they staggering genres? i see one fiction acceptance on the spreadsheet but the rest of the decisions are poetry

ah i’m sorry, friend. haven’t heard anything yet but i suppose it’s coming for me too lol. how did you find out?

anyone know when university of oregon decisions might be released?

Thank you so much for the info—super helpful!!

does anyone have any insights on waitlists? is it okay to email back and ask our position on one?

thank you and @Sumire11 so much for the info!!

fiction applicant lurker here; first time post! is it common for schools to set a decision deadline long before April 15?
