omg don't worry about it !! i was quite sure about this. i appreciate you letting me know anyhow!

just getting a temperature check, rutgers-newark release anything yet (fiction)? i already am positive i'm rejected but i just wanna make sure since it's been silent on that end. if so-- that's 7 for 7 for me. i'll be seeing everyone next year :')

trying not to feel like a bumbling idiot for thinking i could get into a fully funded MFA my first round. anybody have any tips on dealing with the weird dissonance that is all of your professors having faith in you and being slammed with five rejections? i know i'm a very talented writer and entirely capable + these programs seek people who are older with more experience, so it's not personal, but it's just such an odd feeling, going from planning my future to starting at square one.

got my rejection from u of o :')

have ANY fiction people heard from u of washington? i'm sweating over here.

i'm waiting on uw and u of o!

god, that's rough. had me holding out hope for a minute there. i appreciate you letting me know :') best of luck to us !!

hey guys, i saw u of o notifs start going out a few nights ago. do i have any chance of getting an acceptance/waitlist for fiction do we think? radio silence from them in my inbox and wondering if i should just take the quiet as another reject

also someone who writes a lot of trans art--- this makes me super nervous. my fiction submission doesn't go into that very much, but it def talks about sexuality. fingers crossed being vocal about it in my writing and my personal statement isn't the reason i'm written off :((

i really appreciate this. and i'll do my best to remember this and accept that maybe i'm just at the beginning of a long and arduous process. i just worry about postgrad, what with finding employment in the meantime. thank you so much for the response :')

hi guys! been a silent lurker since the fall. i'm a senior in college-- creative writing at syracuse-- right now waiting on a handful more decisions from MFAs in fiction. i got knocked out of tennessee in the first round in january, and then rejected by minnesota this morning. but i've been obsessing the past few weeks, checking this forum and checking my email constantly. do any of you have any advice on how to ease this? i can't focus on anything. the waiting has me so nervous
