I reached out to Gerri Brightwell (Program Director) and she said that these emails go out when an applicant submits their application and that apparently they do cause a lot of confusion. Gerri also said that they haven't "even made our decisions about applicants yet", so hopefully that helps you breathe a little easier! So the wait continues! Thanks for filling me in. ?
DeepSyntax Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 Anyone know what the deal is with University of Miami? On Draft and on here, I can only find acceptances historically from around Feb 19, and then rejections in early March. Trying to determine if that means waitlists go out this week and that I should assume I am not accepted. Does not seem to be a popular program from users here, so data is limited.

Have you seen any from this year? Covid may have messed their schedule up.

There is a poetry acceptance from 2/15, though I am concerned about fiction. The only result from last year is also poetry, from around the same time. In 2019, acceptances also happened on what would have been the equivalent of last week. (With rejections delivered via snail mail on the equivalent of next week - the indignity!) There also doesn't appear to be anything on Draft for this year. Just hard to read the tea leaves on this one. Seems just as likely that they accepted people who aren't on these groups as it is that they are delayed.
dumblond Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 I received word earlier this evening that I'm at the top of Oregon State's waitlist for CNF : ) mrvisser, lilacbread, catastroph and 10 others 13

Sure, Texas took a million years to process my fafsa but it’s definitely good to start it incase. I submitted my fafsa for everywhere I applied immediately after I submitted my application. Granted, I did remove Minnesota and WashU, and added SJCNY recently. I think you’re supposed add up to 10 schools on the Fafsa (so pick favorites), ‘cause I’m not sure they can give you financial aid without it on file.

mrvisser Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 Last week I got three rejections and all the emotional stimulation made it easier to read and write again, and now I've hit writer's block again in what has been an uneventful couple of days.

Ydrl Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 Guys there’s a V Tech acceptance by email. I didn’t even see when they did interviews this year if they did them at all. I’m sad.

NYU is a very popular program so if they were calling fiction writers I'm sure someone on Draft would have been accepted and posted about it - beyond the fellowship recipients last week. Doesn't mean it's not very soon though. Last year they seem to have called accepted students on Wed 2/26. kikis_delivery 1
Graceful Entropy Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 On 2/21/2021 at 3:10 PM, JPReinhold said: I got some advice from an English PhD to hold onto the offers until April 15 because people may change funding. I'd much rather decline all offers other than my front-runner as my options change to make the process easier / less-anxiety filled for other applicants and the programs, but it appears we shouldn't do that this cycle. A lot of apprehension this year and I think that will lead to a mass shuffle on April 15. I've been mulling your friend's viewpoint and while we need to take care of ourselves, I think we also have to consider our impact on our larger community as well. While the OSU debacle certainly will instill some nervousness (and is clearly a huge fuck-up on their part), I think the difference is that those are technically considered informal offers w/out the contract. Once the contract is out--typically later and by email--any school part of the CSG (basically all of them) must abide by it until the April 15th deadline. So, if you are waiting on another school, by all means, hold on to your other choice(s), but I think if any of us are fortunate enough to be accepted into multiple programs, we should respect them and do our peers a solid by helping them get their own show on the road as soon as we know that school's not going to be the one.
