Do you have a professor in mind that you wanted to work with? Do you have a preferred climate? Do you want to stay closer or further from home? Just a few questions to consider. lunch, goodcynara and cecsav 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knoxville is a more urban environment than Laramie, but Wyoming definitely has more beautiful scenery. And Laramie is about two hours from Denver, so traveling isn't so bad. I'd take Wyoming by a slight bit over Tennessee. largeheartedboy and DeepSyntax 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrhamlet Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 congrats to all new acceptances ❤️ for people who are on Draft (I left the group in an attempt to stop constantly checking statuses lol and yet I'm still on here all the time......), does it look like Michener and Iowa are at least part way done sending out fiction acceptances?

Ydrl Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Asked Billy (UT Austin contact) if Michener decisions have been made, if we’ll hear about them tomorrow or next week. orangeslice, largeheartedboy, cecsav and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I remember seeing someone saying that when they were accepted/contacted by Hunter that year, they were specifically told to not mention anything on social media.

gmcc93 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Wait so does anyone know what's happening with Brown's admissions? There's all those rejections and an acceptance that seem to be fake (??). Pretty sure I'm waitlisted for Notre Dame. Michener (poetry) seems hopeful but really holding out hope for Brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcsteel Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 So I’ve noticed some John Hopkins poetry rejections on draft but haven’t seen any acceptances or waitlists. Would it be normal for them to send rejections first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been lurking for a little while--I'm not the person who posted on the results page, but I can also confirm that I got a call from Hunter faculty at the very end of February. I think they said they have a longlist of about 12 people, but other than that, I don't really have any information. Fingers crossed for all of us!

Ovr1t Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) Hi! Been lurking for the last few months. Does anyone close to UCR know what’s going on with the acceptances this year? There hasn’t been much activity here or on the Draft and it seems a little late in their season now. The incoming cohort is usually between 15-20 right? Was there an ask not to post acceptances?

They didn't give me very much information at all about the process or where they're at generally, but they did end up informing me that I wasn't accepted or waitlisted. Just thought I'd update you all for whatever it's worth, they're definitely getting through the applications. I'm so sorry. ❤️ Sending you hugs. No updates on my portal yet...yikes. So the acceptances on here were probs legit. That's okay. Whew boy. Did they mention if they'd made all acceptance calls already? I hope you're okay. I'm really sorry you didn't get in. ❤️❤️❤️ I'm glad you at least have answers, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
