Anyone else apply in fiction and not hear anything from them? Yeah. Haven't heard from them either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My fingers are crossed that they’ll keep notifying until Thursday. It’s the closet school to home for me and I really don’t feel like moving again lol.

writernity Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 5 hours ago, eeeeeek said: Does anyone know if U Pitt poetry interview requests (or results) have been sent out? Pitt sent out interview requests Jan 30-Feb 6, based on prior years that most likely means they're done sending those and will be sending out the final results by the end of the month. If we haven't gotten anything by now it's probably safe to assume rejection 😔 (though I'll always hold a small sliver of hope until the official rejection and take the waiting time to brace myself lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarryDairy Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Hi, everyone! I've been reading through this forum a little bit everyday and have finally caught up to the end! It's been great reading through everyone's experiences and absolutely makes me feel less alone in my 'application portal refresh' world. I've especially been digging everyone's 'what happens after' ideas and concerns. A little about me because y'all have shared sooo much: Fiction writer with a specialization in literary speculative fiction, in my 30s with a full time job in the writing world, studied creative writing in college, and pursuing an MFA in fiction to deepen my craft skills and teaching skills. I only applied to a couple of schools this round (Bennington and Iowa). I've heard back from Bennington and am in for their June 2024 start! And before anyone panics, Bennington (to my knowledge) hasn't sent responses yet. I heard back about my acceptance to Bennington early because I applied for their January 2024 start back in September, but they were full and instead offered me a spot in their June 2024 cohort. Still waiting on Iowa. Favorite pass time while waiting out the final decision: writing, of course, but non-writing wise building terrariums and drawing have been huge stress reliefs over the past couple of months. Happy to be here and wishing everyone the best of luck in the application process, but also with their craft in general! branch, Reduwanul Hoque, Chex and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have spoken a tad too soon-- someone put a Pitt interview for nonfiction on the draft sheet today! I forgot they had cnf 😅 it does look like they're most likely done with reqs for fiction and poetry, but you never know. Don't cross anything out until official notice comes! One person logged an acceptance for a PHD at South Carolina on the 2nd, but I'm not seeing anything beyond that. I don't see anything for Nevada LA, but a couple reports for Nevada Reno and one for Nevada Las Vegas. 2 acceptances were logged for South Florida on the 5th, one for poetry and one for fiction. Nothing from the rest so far. You might want to check here on the gradcafe results tab too, that's just from Draft. Kyla2023 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To put it in perspective, these are maybe the three hardest programs in the country to get into, I believe they each take around 4 people per genre, and because they're among the highest paying, they get the most applications. Even for the most talented writers these are extreme long shots. branch and TPike 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah these were my dream list of schools but I removed them last minute in my application process after looking over my undergrad transcripts, hahah.

epr Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 JHU poetry rejections are going out now based on draft. So fiction will probably be out by this time next week if the week delay holds true for us as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajcam Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 received a WashU rejection for fiction yesterday :0 But here's to everyone getting good news! It makes me happy and keeps me moving forward to hear it. It's still early days! Btw...what's the consensus for U of Oregon? All done? I haven't heard from them and I'd like to just know if I should count them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard back from U of Oregon, but I am expecting a rejection in a mass wave sometime this week or next. I think all acceptances and waitlists for them have gone out.

Valle Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Just got a lovely email from JHU. I'm waitlisted for fiction! This is so surreal as I applied to just two schools (three guesses what the other one is!). Just so nice that someone finally read some of my work and thought it not so bad. prufrock_, Hjanep, lemmmein and 8 others 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
