jjooeeyy Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 (edited) someone just posted on draft they were accepted to mississippi (for fiction). i didn't even know they advanced to phase 2... i guess they don't update their website consistently? edit: whoops, seems like they just notified those who advanced Edited February 21, 2023 by jjooeeyy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ydrl Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I don't want to alarm anyone, but the poetry decisions for Iowa might finalized. Don't know when notifications are going out though... Watching the professors spend hours of their weekends here just pouring over the manuscripts together around a table was a wild sight. Godspeed to you all, drink water. seizing, ElCompaAV, poefire and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't feel like I've seen enough people get acceptance calls for me to assume they are done. Nightmaric 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last couple of weeks have been incredibly stressful for me; it got to the point where I was waking up multiple times every night from anxiety. The most helpful thing that I have done for myself is LEAVING DRAFT. I know for some people Draft is a really helpful community, but for me it just made me feel constantly on edge because my brain was always on alert, preparing for news. I think the nature of my anxiety is such that the constant trickle of new information via Draft, forums, etc. only feeds the anxiety — the best thing is to just remove those sources of information (which, frankly, are not that relevant to me! All the information I need will be delivered to my inbox in due time) and try and distract my brain with other things. Thanks for writing this! it made me feel a lot better. I'm going to try to follow this advice. Was hoping I'd be able to get a long break from wonderful worlds of premiere pro and avid this fall but it's seeming less and less likely... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s in the top half of my preferred programs, and a much needed ego boost after 3 straight rejections. (Now 3r/1w/4p). I emailed back asking about how many acceptances they sent and some other info because it was honestly confusing. One part said in 2013 they took 18% of 170 apps (30!) total, and another said that they take 4 each in poetry and fiction. Hopefully they let us know how big the waitlist is and if it’s ranked. (And, selfishly, if you already have a preferred acceptance, consider taking yourself off the waitlist :p) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I think it’s ranked, but no clue how long. He said he didn’t know where those 2013 numbers came from (before he was director), but it is indeed 4 people per subject. The way he talks about the waitlist makes me think it is ranked. I’m “very high on the waitlist” myself, apparently. Not sure what that adjective really means. I guess they don’t want to say how large the waitlist is because it would signify how many accepted students usually accept their spots at the school.

treaux Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Anyone get or see anything from Michigan for fiction? Seems like all the posts on the results board are for poetry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if that’s all the acceptances since poetry seemed to be staggered (some got calls last week and the rest got emails today?), but big congrats to everyone accepted!!
