Leaning towards New Hampshire, but I really need a TAship to go. Good thing I’m on the waitlist for one.

That's awesome. I hope you get it, and the fact that they let you send in the second half of your app today sounds pretty darned positive/they want you to me.

Look at you rooooocking it!

I just emailed Purdue to see what their eta is. Just can't handle this waiting anymore lol. Will update with the response!

You're my favorite person for doing this. I was just looking at previous decision dates this morning.

Hey has anyones UVA application status changed? Mine still says "Submitted" and some other people say that theirs says they're under review or something. I've only heard heresay about this so it may not be true, but I didn't know if it was like UMD's "Under Graduate Review" situation where it basically means I've already been nixed. Any info is welcome!

Mine also just says submitted. Where are you seeing this about the other ones? As a general rule I think that this kind of thing is pretty meaningless, but I totally get the impulse to get at whatever information I can find.

just landed an interview for Brooklyn College (my top choice if I ignore financial restrictions). felt auspicious because it’s bernie’s alma mater and he emailed me about Walmart in the exact same second

Everyone seems to be checking portals! I guess that's one more thing to obsess over hahah. My UVA portal just says "submitted." I don't know if it's all that helpful to be fretting over this when they probably won't be reaching out for some time.. That said, I get it. I'm going crazy over here

In the meantime, I just started this book called "The Queen of the Night" by Alexander Chee and have been loving it so far. I've also been playing WAY too many video games... I think these are the only two things that fully distract me from this whole crazy process. Am curious to hear what non-app related things you've been doing to keep occupied. I have started leaving my phone in the other room and that's really helped (apparently I have no self control lol). 

 

And CONGRATS @Ydrl !!! And to everyone else with good news ❤️

I'm reading "A Suitable Boy" by Vikram Seth, and loving it so far, too. Also, I haven't been doing a terribly good job of doing other things, but trying to remedy that today. Also, music. Lots of music.

I also got an interview with BK College! I think I've asked this before with no luck but does anyone have any insight into their particular interview process? Thank you in advance!

Wow - so much good news this weekend! Congrats y'all! 

I am officially in purgatory with four of my final five having sent out responses to others in the last few weeks but nothing to me yet (looking at you, Rutgers-Camden, University of Montana, University of New Mexico, and Hollins)! Ugh, the waiting is so brutal! Just put me out of my misery! 

Hollins, Purdue, FSU, LSU lol I’m in the same boat...it’s agony.

Hi everyone! I applied to New Writers Project (poetry) at UT Austin and received a notification that I'm on a "very short" waitlist. I also applied to Michener. Any poetry applicants heard from Michener yet?

Congrats!!!! I didn't apply to NWP, but I applied to Michener (poetry) and haven't heard anything. If you search "creative writing" under the grad cafe results page, it shows one acceptance for poetry from a few days ago. I usually trust the results from the draft group more, since it's less anonymous but who knows? Fiction acceptances seem to have gone out already from what I can tell at least

Thanks!! And thanks for the response! Very best of luck to you and I hope you get into Michener! I have some friends who have made their way through that program and it's a special one.

Yeah I saw that post. It's the shrimp lover. They also posted acceptance to Iowa for fiction...so...trolling?

[nottheamazonalexa]

Oh boy....there's a poetry acceptance in results for Brown!!! Has anyone heard anything or seen anything themselves/on draft?

I know not many people get the “Shrimp” thing, but I do get it and maybe they aren’t trolling.

I’m curious if y’all will ever figure out “shrimp”, I’ll tell you if you get it right.
