I know this wasn't addressed to me, but on the topic, my portal at Notre Dame never updated, and it's tripping me out a bit. ? Everyone else seemed to get their rejections just fine, but I never have gotten an official email, nor has ND's website updated beyond the "To date, there is no decision on your application" button/text. Alissa's (the grad coordinator who informed me of the decision on my app) email had said my portal should have updated on Friday with the rejection/disapproval info when the system did its weekly update, but nada, even though everyone else's went through no problem. I just want to see the letter so I know it's for real, for real, you know? That will help closure-wise for me this year, at least. /emotions Basically, did anyone else's ND portal not change or did they not receive any sort of rejection email? Waitlisters seem to have gotten theirs all right, too...(basically, has anyone else received zero updates for ND and/or still have their application decision as "pending"?) I am probably WAY overly reading into this, but my heart's like...ummm, where you at, official update/letter? Just hmmm. Edited March 6, 2021 by eternalwhitenights

Just hmmm. this is only based on my somewhat informed guesstimation, but it seems to me that their portal is limited in function. last week, they could only send out a few rejections and waitlists, so tbh it could very well be that your portal is one of the few that got left out this time and will be updated next friday. my impatient ass is not going to expect you to or tell you to wait until next friday in hopes of a portal update lol. you could just email alissa for the letter. i'm sure they can send a pdf through. eternalwhitenights 1

LOL that thought had also crossed my mind!! I was trying to see if there was any correlating experience of notification delays for that exact reason. Good to know my process of rational deduction is at least kicking still. Edited March 6, 2021 by eternalwhitenights
M-Lin Posted March 6, 2021 Posted March 6, 2021 If any of us ever made to an adcom of an MFA program someday, we could try to fix/revolutionize many bumps in this whole application process.

Josh did say it could also be early next week (which, I hope, means Monday!) And I just looked up in the results, acceptances tend to be phone calls! So no need to refresh your inbox, just make sure you're staring at your phone screen all day ? cecsav and susweekly 2

Roger that: My phone is surgically attached to my hand. I’m hoping that the poetry acceptance bodes well for us hearing back today. I just keep telling myself that in all likelihood, the decision has already been made, our fates are sealed etc etc M-Lin 1

Colorado Review should give me an answer somewhere between the end of this month and the end of May at the latest. When I submitted to them as an undergrad they encouraged me to submit again. Although I have a new name, so they won’t recognize me. cecsav 1
