lunch Posted March 4, 2021 Posted March 4, 2021 Just now, orangeslice said: Unfortunately that posting was from me and it is, indeed, real. Got an email to check the portal at 10:15 last night, where status had been updated to 'denied'. 'Twas a day of rejections from Texas lol. Good luck to the rest of you who are still hanging on. Oh gosh, sorry to hear that; I'm surprised that rejections aren't all sent out at once. Best of luck with the rest of your programs. orangeslice 1

Although now that I'm looking at it again I'm not sure which program it's from because the email doesn't say. Just maybe don't listen to me...my brain is melting from stress

Downtozero Posted March 4, 2021 Posted March 4, 2021 I'm at least relieved to hear Michener rejecs (and waitlists?) are on the way. Been on the edge about this one. lunch and nottheamazonalexa 2

amiwritingyet Posted March 4, 2021 Posted March 4, 2021 hey hey! new here, grateful for this forum i just sort of wanted to poll the room because i have no basis for making these decisions -- if you had a choice between UTK and Wyoming, which would you choose and why? both fully-funded with similar stipends. thanks in advance for any insight, i just feel like i have no idea what i'm doing.

I don't have any input on the programs, but congrats on getting two acceptances for fully funded programs, especially this year. That's awesome. Blackhole 1

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

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

mrhamlet Posted March 4, 2021 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 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. lilacbread, nottheamazonalexa, orangeslice and 3 others 5 1

cecsav Posted March 4, 2021 Posted March 4, 2021 Hey, who was the other UMKC acceptance? Have you heard anything about funding yet?
gmcc93 Posted March 4, 2021 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
Ydrl Posted March 4, 2021 Posted March 4, 2021 Michener is expecting to get ALL decisions out by early next week. aa2427, spacedumpster, goodcynara and 2 others 4 1

rcsteel Posted March 4, 2021 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?

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! M-Lin and largeheartedboy 2

Would it be normal for them to send rejections first? It's unusual, but possible that they just do it differently than most other places. That's what I'm hoping at least lol.
