From past years, it seems they interview anyone they're going to accept/waitlist in late Jan/early Feb. Dang, nothing in my inbox. Pittsburgh is the first of the schools I applied to that has started notifying people. These next two months are going to be long. ajcam and GoldenTree 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't aware that funding applications were separately, or I wouldn't have applied. I thought everyone accepted received funding. Should I even bother at this point if it's not my first choice? I would say double check. It's VERY possible you're being asked to apply for additional funding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t seem like everyone is automatically considered for funding. The website says, “For funding opportunities, we strongly recommend filing an application for a Graduate Student Assistantship in addition to your application to the MFA program. Students who are selected for admission into the program AND a graduate assistantship are awarded a stipend and full tuition remission for up to 18 credits per academic year.

So I’ve been accepted to Miami University in Oxford, Ohio for nonfiction!! 😱😱😱 I almost missed the email because it landed in my updates and not primary inbox and the subject line read, “At Miami University, good news travels fast!” which if you ask me is a rather unsuspecting email LOL. Considering this is a fully funded program, I guess I’m definitely not applying to the remaining NYC and SF schools on my list 😆 1a/1w/0r/11p Chex, lychees, writernity and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funding application is due on Feb 1, and it says a requirement for a graduate assistantship is a bachelors in English or related field, which I don’t have. Kind of disappointed to say the least.

ssuunn Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 University of Oregon acceptances/waitlists are popping up in Draft, at least for fiction. I've noticed that the last 20 results on the spreadsheet are all for fiction... are the poetry people just not submitting their results or is every program just lagging behind on the poetry decisions lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, I would absolutely forget the remaining schools not yet applied to!

This is so exciting but also terrifying. Damn, why did my brain just remind me of a cringey faux pas line I wrote in my SOP? The anxiety is getting *worser*, Lol. As to why poetry responses aren't being reported at the same rates, it could be because in most programs, poetry and fiction are run by different internal administrators, so the calendars for notification might differ by genre. triciadawn, seeleimraum, pananoprodigy and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hjanep Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I am over here trying to triangulate between when notifications came out last year versus this year so far to predict when I might hear something from additional programs while trying to not completely lose it. 0a/1r/0w/11p seeleimraum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, that was $45 down the drain! We’ll, if no one else will say it, I will - they’re dicks. that sort of thing should be right up front. having said that, I stick to my original advice. Reach out and make the phone call. First, because I’ve had to do it other places and they acknowledged conflicting information and set it straight. Second, because there are no safety schools in this game. Chex and triciadawn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh okay thanks for the intel! Do we think that means acceptances have already gone out? Or is it a myth that waitlist notifs always come after acceptances?

Did someone say there are 20 Oregon notifications on draft? I couldn’t understand such a high number when they only accept 6-8 fiction seats. Can Anyone shed any light?
