Mrs. Fahrenheit Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Just received word that I'm on the waitlist at Arizona State! First time applicant (four years out of undergrad) and first school I've heard back from so far. Best of luck to everyone and congrats to those who've gotten acceptances/waitlist notifications! 0a/1w/13p Scribe, brdiget, Chex and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr. specific Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Damn. Two rejections today WashU and ASU. Wish everyone would hurry up, though I am incredibly happy that I got the Syracuse acceptance as the first decision of the year and then Indiana waitlist, it makes the rejections sting a little less.

Bummer about Wash U and ASU. Rejections are inevitable in this thing, even for the most successful applicants. Glad you have some good news already to cushion the effect. A Syracuse acceptance is HUGE. Congratulations are in order! Rixor and justasmidge 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rixor Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 (edited) Just an update about FAFSA for those not in Draft--the admin said you do not have to fill out the FAFSA if you only intend to go to a fully-funded program. It might be a good idea to, but it's not necessary. Congrats to those waitlists/acceptances!:) Edit: Maybe it is necessary for some schools? Oop.

You got Syracuse, my top one! I guess it goes to show how relative and subjective this process is; if I got into Syracuse, no rejections would sting at all, because i'd already have won. I keep thinking 'i only need one acceptance'. I'm never going to get into all that I applied for. Rixor and justasmidge 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rixor Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Is it common for schools to not send out rejections all at once? I'm staring at the Draft data... Some schools have logged rejections/waitlists/acceptances, but I'm still in limbo with an "in review" application. Though I'm probably just anxious and impatient, I worry this means I messed up my application and accidentally sent it in incomplete or something.

jadedoptimist Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 3 hours ago, Scribe said: someone on draft reported urbana had 40 applications for poetry. Do you think it is reasonable for a University to release a number just because they were asked? is it possible they are required to? This can't be the case because some emails say they can't release the numbers, right? I remember seeing one that said "due to the nature of our admissions process we are unable to answer questions..." but maybe that was only regarding the waitlist, not the overall number of applicants? 11 minutes ago, Rixor said: Is it common for schools to not send out rejections all at once?

Anyone else apply in fiction and not hear anything from them? Word has it that JHU has already sent acceptances and waitlists for fiction, and will be reaching out with rejections in the next few days. (Two people on Draft reported emailing them and getting this response.) As for Wash U, have you logged into your portal to check for an update? Might be there already, or maybe they haven't sent out all responses and will be reaching out very soon. CLCH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLCH Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Thanks for the info! About thirty seconds after I posted I got a waitlist email from WashU. So if anyone else has had silence it might be good news!

bluebikeyikes Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 This is a long shot, but did anyone apply to schools in Canada? I was accepted to the University of Guelph, and they said that in order to obtain a study permit, one has to show proof of 20,000 Canadian dollars, which I frankly do not have in my bank account. I know I should have researched all of these before applying to a different country lol, but if I were to consider attending this program, would it be possible to work with them and waive this requirement? 1A/0W/3R/7P brdiget 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngusWanderer Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Congratulations to everyone getting accepted and waitlisted, and fingers crossed for those still waiting! 6 hours ago, Scribe said: one FYI and one question, sorta. FYU re FAFSA: while i can't comment on private schools, many public universities rely on public funding for their programs. in addition there are often tuition differences with respect to in and out of state residence and occasionally other differences with respect to foreign students. As such these schools often require a FAFSA for tracking and funding (ie: grant writing) purposes of their own as well as governmental and administrative requirements. That said, it's my understanding this gets worked out when/after an offer is made. Assume nothing but I would think most who need a FAFSA filed earlier would note it in the application instructions. now for the sorta question. someone on draft reported urbana had 40 applications for poetry. Do you think it is reasonable for a University to release a number just because they were asked? is it possible they are required to? Is this UIUC we're talking about? Only 40 applicants? Wow that sounds a bit insane to me (or I'm being petty because that number just made that rejection a bit harder to process lol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eeeeeek Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 (edited) Does anyone know if U Pitt poetry interview requests (or results) have been sent out? Also, this is maybe a dumb question, but is it expected that we reply to waitlist emails? I am on the IU Bloomington waitlist for poetry, and I didn't reply . . . but now I am wondering if I should have at least replied to express my interest in the program or something?

Ugh ok I'm out of town this week and don't have the time to sort out this FAFSA situation... I'll deal with it when I get back LOL. I received an email from Washington University in St. Louis that I'm on their waitlist?! I'm honestly in disbelief. My results so far have wildly surpassed my expectations omg.

I would think so. But I also know there’s about a dozen on the waitlist for four slots at Bloomington. I’ve seen none for uiuc. So what does that mean?

TPike Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Hey guys, I haven't said anything in a little while, but send some good luck my way, PLEASE. I've been rejected from Northwestern, Cornell, and most likely JHU. Kinda losing hope tbh. branch, Scribe, Kyla2023 and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
