Norwood Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 5 minutes ago, Leeannitha said: We have a couple places in common! Remind me, are you applying in fiction? I’ve already forgotten. I am a poet but I would KILL to get to learn from Mona Awad at Syracuse lol. Did you read any of her books? Bunny is one of my favorite books of all time. I'm a fiction writer, yeah! And I know this sounds kinda dumb, but I haven't read any of Mona Awad's work because when I first applied a couple years ago I read all the writers who were teaching there at the time and got obsessed with Dana Spiotta's books, which then really got my hopes up for admission lol. So since I already knew I was going to apply again (and talk about wanting to learn from Spiotta in my statement) I decided to avoid giving myself more reasons to get my hopes up. BUT when I get rejected this year, I do have plans to rub salt in the wound by checking out Awad and Chanelle Benz haha Also, I'm decidedly not a poet, but I would LOVE to take a class with Mary Karr. treaux and Leeannitha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjooeeyy Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Do I think I will get a notification on a Saturday? No. Will I still check my email, the results page, and Draft every hour? Yes, of course I will. dagreenkat, justreplying, halsklo and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penandpaper40 Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Hi everyone! Longtime lurker here. Did anyone else apply to USC's PhD in Creative Writing and Lit? I've seen a few waitlist notifications pop up here and on Draft...I'm guessing that means a rejection is heading my way soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanadelreystan Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Can someone explain what happens if you apply to both Michener and New Writers Project and get an acceptance? These programs seem to have the exact same faculty members who are presumably reading the same applications, so is it possible to get accepted to both? Does anyone have insight on this?

I think there are separate adcoms for each program deciding who gets in. They are different admissions processes. Not sure if they will know if you have applied to both or not.

CBeuley Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Hello! Been lurking on the thread for a while. One Northwestern rejection so far, waiting on everything else. Does anyone know how long it typically takes Iowa to make their phone calls?
