Anyone else hear from them? I'm sweating, hearing about the Brown acceptance and the VCU waitlist all in one day. If anyone knows anything about whether or not I should still hope for VCU, PLEASE LET ME KNOW THANK YOU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrvisser Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Officially got my Notre Dame rejection finally. I think it's a fair assumption that Iowa and Michener are rejections, so that just leaves UW as a question. Of course it comes down to my beloved Seattle campus in the end. 0a/0w/6r/1p orangeslice, anna23, catastroph and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really, really, really hope Washington comes through for you. Lucky 7, maybe?? My portal hasn't updated with anything yet, no official emails from the grad school either, and I already heard from the grad school coordinator for the English department herself over email that I wasn't in. Jesus is REALLY teaching me patience. (Just to see it officially officially, you know.) Everybody's all here and in Draft posting rejections and waitlists and I'm like Notre Dame, I know you didn't forget me. Ach. mrvisser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine just showed up about 20 minutes ago, so these all seem to be staggered in a weird way. But, like you said, maybe next year if Washington doesn't come through. My list for next year is going to be real long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omg sweetie you definitely don't have to but if you do I would owe you my firstborn Honestly just knowing if everything went out will be enough, because apparently in previous years they rejected by snail mail and my heart just cannot take waiting for a rejection in the mail Greel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But look at it this way--you have at least one round under your belt, and you can really take time to research/grow/write. You are totally going to get in to at least one next year if Washington doesn't come through. You're like my original ND buddy on here, so I am rooting extra 1bjillion percent hard for you. ❤️ P.S. Don't forget you're more than some MFA rejections. ✌️ mrvisser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only part that sucks is all the waiting again, but I feel inspired and ready for more of this next year. I've learned a lot, and I already see a lot in my writing right now that's better than when I applied this round. I think we've got this next year! arden, catastroph and eternalwhitenights 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ydrl Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Hey, if you guys ever have questions about applying next year, I’m probably going to do what @feralgrad does and pop up randomly next cycle to see how everyone is doing. This is my second cycle, and I have tips. Arguably too many tips due to excessive research and asking a lot of people a lot of questions.

arden Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 i'm really glad I was distracted when this Brown news dropped, bc otherwise it fully has the power to wreck me (in part bc I think this means all of my schools have now officially contacted ~some~ if not all people, and I was starting to try to really prepare myself for rejections but I don't think I'm ready to get them almost all at once hahahaaA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ydrl Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 If all my decisions could come at once I’d appreciate it. I’m probably being rejected from V Tech, Texas, Rutgers, and Florida. UNO isn’t better than New Hampshire. So I’m really just waiting on Maryland, my top school, that my recommenders and I love. I’ve decided I hate notification season more than application or limbo season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
