CLCH Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 I will preface this by saying I am NOT A POET--but... I know a lot of us have been searching for sources of Joy. I have been listening to a podcast called Close Readings. Each episode, the host and a guest go over a poem and discuss it for an hour. I have found it so generative, peaceful, inspirational. It's been a huge gift right now! You should check it out! FloridaMan, dagreenkat, crosie and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michelleee Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Posted in the results form but I received a confusing waitlist email from Iowa (poetry) that said nothing about a waitlist but said my application was still being considered? Does anyone know waitlist stats for Iowa or any advice for what to do now to increase my chances? alligator mississippiensis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catwrites Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Just joined this forum, since my only app this year was the Stegner, but also know you all will be the only ones who understand the ANGST of waiting on what I’m sure is a rejection! My Twitter/GradCafe sleuthing shows that, for the last few years, rejections go out (or show up in the portal) 1-2 days after acceptances — and I know acceptances started on Monday!! The Angst! So much angst! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anygivenday Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) On 3/7/2023 at 2:13 PM, maz said: Hi! I am also still waiting on UC Irvine and Boston (and UC Riverside). From what I understand, these three schools all have a history of being a little more staggered for notifications, since I think they don't explicitly notify waitlisted applicants but kind of see how things shape up as they give out acceptances. The waiting is so tough! Hey there! I am waiting for UCI too. The UCI site says all decisions will go out by March 25, with no known acceptances to date. A website called "Ask Ms. Sun" says past years there were acceptances sent out through the applicant portal on March 17. I have some contacts in the current grad program who say you'll get a personal call if you're accepted, but I'm not sure if that's true. Still, if you haven't received any notification by March 25th, it's probably a no. My note to myself is to try like hell to relax until the 17th. I REALLY know it's hard to wait.

So much angst! Have you heard from anywhere else about acceptances (apart from that solo post on gradcafe saying they were accepted on March 7)? I was really hoping that that was a troll post because if they've sent out acceptances already why would they not just reject us? Or have they forgotten all about us?

Someone in Draft reported that a friend got a call! But I guess that is all kind of a game of telephone LOL I am also trying to tell myself that it’s AWP, so maybe folks who would make the calls are traveling?

dagreenkat Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 For Brown fiction applicants: I took a look through Brown’s pattern of notifying as far as gradcafe has reliable info for. It looks like both programs have notified on the same day for many years in a row… until 2021. Then and 2022 both notified over a week apart. So we might be waiting quite a while yet. Let me know if you have better/more updated information! I just want this process over *sobs* Catpaw and FloridaMan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
