I hope it was you. Yes, that was me!! I was absolutely vibrating at my desk cos the forum was down & I wanted to tell y'all. It's my first result of the season. I was feeling so miserable today at work, and it really lifted my spirits. And thank y'all (you especially, Y) for your support!

feralgrad Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) Thanks, y'all! Honestly it's such a relief, even if I don't know about funding yet. I was worried I wouldn't get in anywhere since I only picked 3 programs. Edited January 31, 2020 by feralgrad anarchisttiger and Ydrl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ydrl Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 The ads for Iowa (and WashU) are killing me. I swear to god I see them everyday when I check gradcafe. Thanks gradcafe, for teasing me like that. TT_TT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ydrl Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Anyone else ready to email Syracuse, WashU, or a program that usually gets back to people around this time? I have a half complete draft to Syracuse but I’m irrationally scared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a half complete draft to Syracuse but I’m irrationally scared. Although there's no need to be scared, in my experience those emails don't generally do any good. Usually just come back with "we'll let you know at some point :^)" Sometimes they give a more specific time range, but even then they have no obligation to honor it. It absolutely sucks, but adcoms are a black box that we simply can't peer into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polkadotpoet Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 4 hours ago, MFAhopeful57 said: I got into Stony Brook! Super excited Congrats! And congrats @feralgrad on GMU. It looks like Minnesota started notifying some poetry acceptances and waitlist people, so I probably did not get in... I'm starting to wish I applied to more than six places. But then again, I really, really love the programs I applied to. I just want some good news to share with everyone soon! feralgrad and Ydrl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbr542 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Does anyone know how many of the 12 seats at the Michener program are for fiction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since they offer four concentrations, I imagine seats are split evenly between them (so three for fiction). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
