justasmidge Posted February 6 Posted February 6 Out of curiosity, when the schools call, does the institution's name show up on the caller ID? Haha, I figure with all of these spam calls I get with bogus caller ID names, it would be nice to see a name that I actually want to call me.

Haha, I figure with all of these spam calls I get with bogus caller ID names, it would be nice to see a name that I actually want to call me. It didn't for mine. It had a first name of the professor under their number and that was it. I didn't recognize the name but I happened to recognize the area code. I understand if folks don't wanna answer random calls but I'd highly recommend looking up phone area codes that include the schools where you applied!! It might help with avoiding spam calls. justasmidge 1
untemperedoddity Posted February 6 Posted February 6 Anybody hear back from UMass Amherst yet? I'm a poetry applicant, but I heard from a Fiction applicant they reach out for interviews at the end of January. Feeling let down that I haven't gotten a call yet. Any news from anybody else?

jadedoptimist Posted February 6 Posted February 6 Omg I'm a lurker and I made an account today bc things are heating up. Hearing that Cornell has started accepting poets has got me literally shaking in my boots. I applied to Cornell, Iowa, Michener, UVA, VA tech, JHU, Michigan, Brown, Syracuse, Vanderbilt, and Northwestern for poetry. Anyone else have a similar list? Another post on this forum made me think maybe Vandy is next. jackofsht, untemperedoddity and bluebikeyikes 3

I actually didn't have it on my list but one of my recommenders had gone there and told me I must apply, apparently he had a really good experience.

Another post on this forum made me think maybe Vandy is next. I've also been a lurker for the last week or so! I'm fiction, but I applied to both Michener and NWP, Oregon (waitlisted there!), Brown, Cornell, Vandy, UVA, JHU, Houston, Oxford (Mst, not MFA, interview next week), Hunter and NC State. All fully funded other than Hunter and Oxford, and I've been obsessively checking when programs told people last year. I just need the month to be over please!! triciadawn 1

Another post on this forum made me think maybe Vandy is next. I also applied (for fiction) to Cornell, JHU, Brown, and Syracuse, plus Hunter, Pittsburgh, and a handful of NYC-based non-guaranteed-funding schools. Hoping for the best for us both! 🙏 the nerves are really kicking in now that more schools are making moves, but the bulk of results for most of them will likely be late Feb-mid March
