I'm going to be attending a program at Depaul University in Chicago. They have funding.

Yep, looks like it. Meanwhile, the grad coordinator said--" I'm hearing word that decisions should be made within the next couple of weeks. You'll receive a notification when they're ready. Thanks for your patience..."

I did give in and mail the grad coordinator. He informed me I was not accepted. Good luck to everyone else! This wraps up the season for me.

Yep. And she said she hasn't heard back from Missouri either. I am totally stressed out too. One school= BAD, BAD ODDS.

Poeteer, my friend has been waitlisted at Texas Tech. Will keep updating, but I don't want to post on the results forum.

Sure thing! I don't know if she applied elsewhere, though.

Just had a friend accepted to their CW poetry PhD. They've invited her to visit, so I can talk to her and get back to you in a bit.

I don't feel like I'd have a chance either. Still--could those of you admitted tell us when exactly the open house is, so I can look forward to my rejection email around a week from then?

MFA decisions have been made in the school I went to. SERIOUSLY. I am shuddering at the prospect of my POI poring over each word in my poems and shaking her head.

Thank you so much, Stately Plump! Sending lots of lit-love your way as well!

Oh, I live in Chicago and my husband has a stable job (while I am unemployed and on one of those immigrant visas that doesn't allow me to work), which means UIC is my only hope.

*Jealous* Now I really want someone to back out so I can get a shot. (Yeah, like I'm first on the waitlist ).

I wanted to apply, but what's the point? I can't move there. :-(

Uchicago folks--what can you tell me about Leela Gandhi? She is my POI and she was travelling when we corresponded, so I am still entertaining some last minute delusions of possibly being waitlisted or something.

Wow. Chicago IS my dream school and I'd give anything to even get on their waitlist, let alone get accepted! Congrats!
