MFA Creative Writing Fiction Help!

[Ckoh]

Hi everyone, 

So far I got rejected from 2/5 of the schools I applied and I’m starting to freak. It seems that every school I applied to has notified about acceptances. Should I assume I haven’t gotten in to any if I haven’t heard a yes when most heard back over a week ago? 

Freaking out here and regretting not applying to more schools. 

 

Thanks!

Hey Ckoh,

I wouldn't freak out just yet. Some schools accept in bursts and waves, sometimes with a week or two in between each. And anecdotally, my ex was accepted to Houston's MFA for fiction on April 6 a couple years ago, and not off the waitlist. So there's hope yet. Might be worth doubling down on some anti-freak activities, tho I say that as someone in exactly the same boat as you. 2r/0a/0w/2p... but getting late for the last two, and don't think they do waves or bursts!

Best of luck!
