pom3granate Posted February 7 Posted February 7 Any poetry waitlists for Indiana? I only see fiction so far on draft.
gwenny Posted February 7 Posted February 7 Do you think fiction acceptances already went out for Indiana? Or are they doing waitlists first?

pom3granate Posted February 8 Posted February 8 I really dislike how for some programs you actually have to wait for an email instead of being able to see a portal update. I just want to see the rejection already and get it over with 😅. Thinking of Indiana lol. pananoprodigy, Prosaic Ioniser and spewilicious 1 2
seezeegee Posted February 8 Posted February 8 This weekend's going to be a lo-o-o-ong one, but I get the feeling there might be a slew of decisions next week. Not sure whether to feel more excited or scared. PsychPoet, Jane Wyman, Gander and 3 others 4 2
Jitterbug98 Posted February 9 Posted February 9 Is anyone else feeling equally terrified of getting into a top program as they are of not getting in? I applied to 12 programs, mostly in the Northeast where I live but also a few elite programs that are further away from me (Iowa, Michener, Helen Zell). I've already gotten a partially-funded offer in the city that I live in. Part of me wants more than anything to get into one of these further away funded schools, but part of me feels like it would be "easier" if I just don't get in and can accept this lesser offer and not have to move. I big part of this is that my partner of 2 years might not be able to move with me if I move away for grad school, and I've never done long distance before. I applied to some other funded programs (Cornell, Syracuse, Rutgers) that are more like a 5 hour drive from him rather than a plane ride, but even that distance would be challenging I'm sure. But if I do get into a funded program, it would be very difficult for me to justify turning it down so that I can live near him, and if I didn't go I would probably end up being resentful or wondering if I had made a big mistake. It's just a lot to think about and not knowing where I'll be living next year is making me really anxious. I spend a third of my time hoping I'll get into a top funded program, a third of it freaking out about what will happen to my relationship and my friendships if I do, and a third of it telling myself I'm silly for even thinking about it when I probably won't get in. choltebito, pananoprodigy, Jane Wyman and 1 other 4
Jane Wyman Posted February 9 Posted February 9 Just saw on the Facebook group that not waiving the right to see your recommendation letters is a "pink flag" for admissions committees, at least at some schools, like Vanderbilt. Feeling worried about this--I think I waived it for some schools but not others, because I was curious and didn't know you weren't supposed to do that. Is this a thing, or will committees understand that not everyone knows this unspoken rule? curfew 1

Is this a thing, or will committees understand that not everyone knows this unspoken rule? Saw that, too. I've always heard it's just proper etiquette to waive your rights, because it shows trust in one's letter-writers, I guess? I waived mine but I can't imagine not waiving would be the ultimate decider on getting in and not getting in. My amateur guess is that a great writing sample gives insurance against everything else on the application, especially anything related to letters. I wouldn't worry too much:) Jane Wyman 1
roomservice Posted February 9 Posted February 9 (edited) I say this as lovingly as possible, but collectively there is just so much unknown at this time and so much out of one's control. I implore everyone to revel in that in a way that is possibly liberating and comforting as a reminder you did what you could to your best of your ability when you submitted, and only time will tell.

Wow, yeah I feel this all the time - mostly at night. I'm in Boston now and applied to programs here, but same as you also Syracuse, Iowa, etc. In the morning I just want full funding at the top programs. At night, I'm more likely to realize that getting into one of the ones further away will immediately upend my equilibrium, spending the next month agonizing over details, trying to work my way up to moving again. And same, I worry how this will impact my girlfriend and I. Her job is full remote, so she could come anywhere with me if she wanted to, but her father is in dialysis and while she'll still be employed anywhere, the company does adjust salary when you move to a less expensive place - or more expensive if the move were to NYC or say Tokyo. Even NYC carries a lot of strife for me. I've already lived there after undergrad, but I was in my early to mid-twenties and nothing really bothered me then. Thinking of moving back to that behemoth is daunting to say the least. This, even though I'm still there once a month or so, and even though it's one of a very few places (Varanasi India, Rome, London and a few others) that I absolutely love. So yeah, there are times when I hope to just get into BU and don't have to make any further decisions. But then I wake up and it's daylight out and I'm full of energy and fully want Iowa or Syracuse, or NYU, or Columbia. Everything has it's rub. So, I just give in and open myself to the process and try to remain determined to let the winds of magic and change blow me where they will. Good luck to ya!

I've lived in my current city for ten years and it would lowkey be the easier option if I didn't get in anywhere and wasn't forced to consider moving. Last year I did this while in a relationship with someone who couldn't/wouldn't have moved, but this year I'm single and it feels like everything is both way more open to me, and way more terrifying. I think having options is its own kind of stress, and I'm manifesting options more than anything at this point. PsychPoet, Jitterbug98, Gander and 1 other 4

everything bagel lover Posted February 9 Posted February 9 Congratulations of your waitlist @pananoprodigy!!!! I normally don’t get on the forum much on weekends BUT I saw that CSU sent out their first fiction acceptance. Congratulations to that person if they’re here!!! Historically speaking, it looks like CSU spreads out their notifs like crazy? I’m officially freaking out regardless. pananoprodigy 1

BTW, does anyone know if international applicants get calls too? i think if they really want to convey the wonderful news directly, they will email us (int app) to set up a zoom call. otherwise, they will directly email us the acceptance letter. jinny-r 1
