What does the group think – hopeful or nah? Based on what I'm seeing here and on Draft, I'd say all Iowa acceptances and waitlists are sent. I bet that UC Irvine is still sending theirs out, though; seems like they notify late. Edited March 9, 2020 by feralgrad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkin Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Iowa has sent all acceptances and waitlists I believe. I received their rejection letter in the mail on Saturday. Pretty funny that they feel the need to mail those out, kind of speaks to the program a bit, I think. All the same, I'm excited to have it. I'll probably frame it one day.

anarchisttiger Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I called Iowa to inquire and they said all fiction letters should go out "tomorrow." So idk what that's supposed to mean ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but a presumed rejection I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

booradley Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Hi there! Curious if anyone has heard anything about the University of Michigan's waitlist? I am currently on it for fiction and am not sure how long to wait before giving up hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbooks Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 22 hours ago, Lunafiction said: Admitted to UNLV (University of Nevada Las Vegas) for fiction last night (or 6 hours ago, so maybe today, depending on your time zone). Very kind email from the program director. There is a high likelihood I will accept the offer, pending full stipend/cost of living information. Very happy, of course. I am mostly a lurker here and on draft, but because I used this tool to better learn where I stand with a program I have yet to hear from, but that others have received acceptances from (thus assuming rejection...but whatever, I would have preferred other programs including UNLV...) It was particularly important for me to give back and update you all, since I haven't seen another UNLV fiction admission posted. Best of luck today if you are still waiting to hear from UNLV fiction--the email was personalised, so it is likely not all admissions have gone out. And if you are considering going/ have a special insight about this program/Las Vegas (I have never been!) let's chat. Also was admitted! Congrats! Do you understand the funding breakdown? I’m a little confused where to find the letter. Lunafiction and SarahBuya 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was admitted, and all they offered was $7500 over three years HA. Tuition is about $20k. I say ask to clarify just in case, but no MFA is worth paying a crazy amount for.

That’s literally where I’m at rn. I called Iowa, and they said letters would be going out this week (to be received by Wednesday / Thursday). That sounded like rejection letters lol. I’ve gotten one in the past. As for UCI—I’m flipping my lid trying to figure that out also. On the Results page of this website, it looks like someone already got a call last Thursday, so who knows if they already contacted the next year’s cohort. ?

LittleRock Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Hello. First time on here. I received an email this afternoon (2:40 in CA), which I found in my spam, from University of New Orleans. Accepted for CNF. This was my first choice and first time applying, so I am going. I don't know funding info as of this point. Congrats to all who have been accepted! Very exciting!

I am kind of inlolve with this program, prefer it to even the "super prestigious" programs. The only downfall I see is the meh funding. But if I can feel confident I can attend without going into debt, I think I will accept. Just have to fully understand it and what it means....

feralgrad Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) Just got my rejection from Hollins. Doesn't sting too bad, since I've been expecting it. I'll be praying that funding comes through from GMU. If not, no dice again this year! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Edited March 10, 2020 by feralgrad SarahBuya, booradley, presentperfect and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karakoram Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I emailed Iowa and they replied like this: All of the letters were mailed out this morning. If you haven’t received anything within two weeks you can email me back and I will scan at that time. Sincerely, Deb West How they cannot just email people is way beyond me. It's 21st century and you still waste a lot of paper for application and notification purposes. Sorry if I sound a bit too much haha. Got NYU rejection just mins ago and I think for Iowa it'd be an implying rejection (at this point it's quite safe to assume so...) In the end I failed all overboard this year. Still don't know if I see some of you next year or not. With the application fees not sure I can afford. Well, maybe I'd be writing and keeping manuscripts in my drawers all life then be published posthumously haha. (Well, I still don't know what the future holds for the next few months coz Europe now is crazy with the virus :ss) Good luck to everyone in your career and many thanks for all your support during this killing wait. Best wishes from Spain. PrettyinInk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
