Roalddahli Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Nothing from U of SC but I'll let you know as soon as they reach out @CHRISTOPHER QUANG BUI! I'm also waiting on Hollins. I think if I do somehow make it off both waitlists, I'd choose Hollins. MDP and CHRISTOPHER QUANG BUI 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydup Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Well, I just declined an assistantship with tuition covered and a pay of $14,000. I visited the campus this weekend, at Oklahoma State University, and I sadly did not see myself there. I had to go, in person, to realize that I wasn't supposed to be there. It is heartbreaking to know they believed in me and were ready to invest, but I was not able to match their passion. It just wasn't the program for me, and I know if I accepted the position, I would regret it. I'm currently still on the waitlist for VT, but I hear the fiction category is all filled up. I think it's time just for me to relax and write. I have been rethinking grad school as a whole. I'm a very young applicant and there is much room for improvement on my part. This year gave me a waitlist at my dream school and an acceptance, scholarship and assistantship at my safety school! What a win for this first-gen hillbilly kid. Proud of myself. And proud of all of you for trying. As they say — trying is the siamese twin of success. alligator mississippiensis, koechophe, MDP and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybenot14 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 (edited) Anyone accepting offers at University of Miami (Fl)? I accepted mine last week--$18k stipend, full tuition waiver. Feeling really lucky as it's my first/last round & the only school I applied to. I would love to hear from others in my cohort!

I am very grateful for all of you for keeping me sane! Congrats to everyone! I have been waitlisted in fiction at the five schools below. I feel very in over my head here. Anyone have any advice for the next ten days or any info about the programs you think I should know? Feeling in the dark. Bowling Green University Brown University of Houston University of Michigan Oregon State University Thanks again! I'm so glad this site exists! Hey! Someone accepted at Michigan for fiction just accepted another offer, so possibly some waitlist movement happening today!!! MDP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

immyc Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Hi all- forgive me if this is a silly question, but this is my first cycle and I'm anxiously waiting on news from the school I'm waitlisted at! How likely is it that I'll get some news today? Aren't they supposed to let us know what our status is since it's "decision day"? Or does that not apply to the waitlist?

So basically, you're more likely to get notified today, BUT it might not happen. Schools will only notify you of a waitlist rejection "sometime" after they have filled their entire cohort. Unfortunately, not every school prioritizes this, and it may take a few days (or weeks) from when they filled their cohort. There is also a lot of movement even among people on waitlists, and this movement can take time (where they notify next person, next person says no.) So it happens, sometimes, that people can get waitlist offers after April 15. You'll likely get some closure today, hopefully, since a lot of movement does happen today. Hope that helps!
