Elirallo13 Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 emailed Iowa to see if they were done w fiction and got this: None of the decision letters have been mailed out. We usually mail them the first week of March.

We usually mail them the first week of March. That seems like stretching the truth at best considering the fact that multiple people have received phone calls... At any rate, thanks for sharing the info!

Karakoram Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 It stings and I don't think I have chance in the US anymore. Actually I've been thinking of Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand as well. To have hope again in this tough time. Phewws.
SomethingBorrowed Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 Michigan just came in. I got in. Whew! ReluctantGradCafePerson, Karakoram, Seraphina16 and 8 others 10 1

ReluctantGradCafePerson Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 I am not in Draft on FB. I would love some insight on NYU if anyone here has some. TIA. I just want to know one way or the other, but historically, it looks like they sometimes wait until March to send out rejections or waitlist responses. Le Sigh.

Draft has 5 NYU acceptances 1 CNF, 1 Fic, and 3 Poetry. All from 2/24. But that’s all. in other news have you ever run out of likes to give on gradcafe? It wouldn’t let me like anything lol. Too positive I suppose. Edited February 25, 2020 by Yesgirlstoo ReluctantGradCafePerson 1

All of this was helpful from Draft! The person at bottom followed up to say: "check your emails!!! they’ll probably notify into next week, i think. just bc you havent gotten a call doesnt mean you haven’t gotten in!"

wek123 Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) hi everyone! first time/long time. like a lot of people i've been lurking on here in total agony as news begins to trickle out. i applied to a lot of fiction programs; so far i've been rejected by wisconsin and michigan. i figure it's probably safe to assume a rejection from iowa, too? i've also been waitlisted at vanderbilt, which feels like a victory though obviously i'd like to actually get in somewhere.. wondering if anyone has any news on montana? in the facebook group or elsewhere? many, many congrats to all with good news so far. hopefully the rest of us will get some, too! trying to stay zen and tell myself whatever happens is ~meant to be~ or whatever. much easier said than done! Edited February 25, 2020 by wek123

I've been writing! Eating decadently. Focusing on other upcoming events that will happen around the time final decisions are due. I remind myself that I'll know by then and look forward to the event itself, with admission decisions on the back burner of my mind. imnotaboutthat and doe-ish 2
