Does anyone know how they are notifying, or if waitlists/rejections have gone out? I saw someone say they “think” they were waitlisted for UNCW on draft but I couldn’t tell you what that means exactly...best of luck!!! Evc 1

mrvisser Posted March 4, 2021 Posted March 4, 2021 Well after one reported fiction acceptance each for Notre Dame and UW yesterday, there seems to be no further word on either. It's always possible that only one person accepted posts between here and Draft, but it seems unlikely given the prevalence of people accepted to other big programs. So I don't know what to think of my chances. fishfish24 and eternalwhitenights 2

And, honestly, the undergrad acceptance was the same. nottheamazonalexa 1

Hey, I went to UW for my undergrad too! But I majored in journalism. I know a lot of CW people, so depending on when you attended, we may have some mutual friends.

spacedumpster Posted March 4, 2021 Posted March 4, 2021 Hey pals! I am having a conversation this afternoon with the director of a program to which I was accepted. I'm stunned that I was actually selected by one of my top choices, so I'm having a hard time coming up with questions to ask! Any suggestions from folks who have gone through the process before, or are currently making decisions? anna23, cecsav and goodcynara 3

Another thing to add onto the garbage heap is the disgusting situation with UT Austin, “The Eyes of Texas”, and their donors. While some of us don’t know about Michener acceptances yet, if I (a part black person) get rejected from Michener, I’ll be genuinely relieved. cecsav and spacedumpster 2
