KennyK Posted February 26 Posted February 26 (edited) I’ve been getting smeared with rejections! I’m hoping I hit a breakthrough and receive some stellar news! 🤞🏾 Edited February 26 by KennyK Error Jane Wyman, beet_root, Sumire11 and 5 others 8
szymborskasy Posted February 26 Posted February 26 hello! finally made an account after lurking on this thread. I was one of the people who got the acceptance call from NYU and put it on draft. wanted to confirm that the call was more to confirm special funding rather than to just give acceptances - so if you havent heard from them i wouldn't despair just yet, it's possible to have an acceptance without special funding and they'll probably send out the accept emails soon.

I see one USC waitlist on the Draft sheet. Didn't know if anyone in here applied or had any insider info! I am the waitlist from draft... sorry i just signed up for a grad cafe account! didn't receive an official notification but rather a faculty email that said i had been put on 'a short unranked waitlist'. they didn't tell me much about when i could expect to hear from them except 'in the next few weeks'...which is not really a lot of info lol. but from the email it seems like they've sent out their first round of acceptances, at least informally.

You just gave me hope ND might still have a chance for me yet, because I was convinced that they'd sent out all their interview requests on the same day (I.e. yesterday, Monday). Maybe there's hope, ha! I haven't interviewed with them yet (just hoping to make it that far in the process, frankly), but I live here in South Bend, and actually work on campus already, so I can (try?) and help if you have any questions about campus life or anything like that in general about the area. Feel free to DM me if you'd like, and best of luck with your interview! Thank you so much! I will def take you up on that if I end up being accepted Best of luck to you as well! eternalwhitenights 1

Tuxedocat Posted February 26 Posted February 26 I was accepted to NYU today, but it said funding info will arrive later! Said they received 1k applicants for very limited spots. I also talked with Columbia on the phone so thought I’d just share that it sounds like they’re not done notifying people yet. I didn’t ask specifically but they said offer letters would be sent late this week/early next week after they’re done calling/emailing the admitted students. But I’m a poet applicant, so timeline might be different for fiction. Wishing everyone the best of luck! everything bagel lover, exvat, Chex and 1 other 3 1

If so, I thought about doing that for a school I’m waiting to hear back from but I wasn’t sure it was allowed.

Jitterbug98 Posted February 26 Posted February 26 I really was holding out hope for Brooklyn College but after seeing a couple interview requests on Draft I'm assuming it's a soft rejection Which means all my remaining schools are now soft rejections, except for Brown, which is such a ridiculous long shot that I'm basically already considering it as a rejection lol.

What would you say made the difference in your applications this year as opposed to last year? Did you take a radically different approach? Sample? SOP? Recs?

I got an email a few hours ago, then just a few mins ago an email about how they tried to call and it wouldn’t go through (I’m international which was probably why), so they want me to call them. So now I’m waiting on them to call after I left a message 😭 nikolairostov and Chex 1 1

Hanscastorp27 Posted February 26 Posted February 26 Hi there! I’m an international, applied to Iowa, nyu and Columbia for nonfiction. Just wondering… does the outcome for nonfic usually come out later than fiction and poetry?
Tuxedocat Posted February 26 Posted February 26 Ok had the NYU call! Full tuition funding + fellowship! Highest level of funding they offer! KennyK, epr, everything bagel lover and 19 others 22

spewilicious Posted February 26 Posted February 26 (edited) Received an email from New Hampshire about 2 hours ago, and I was so sure it was a rejection, because it was an email, but I just checked aND IT WAS AN ACCEPTANCE!!!!! So, uh, New Hampshire fiction acceptances are going out. I am losing my mind. I really thought it was gonna be a wash this year, and I was trying to gear up to do better next year. I keep oscillating between laughing and crying and my hands are shaking. Admittedly, I don't know about funding yet, but fingers crossed 🤞 Edited February 26 by spewilicious Lady Gladys, DiLo, Hjanep and 8 others 11

Eloise2897 Posted February 26 Posted February 26 Waitlisted at WVU, which is another school I'd LOVE to go to! So happy, so grateful and honestly in shock after receiving rejections across the board last time I applied! Only thing that's rough is knowing this might drag out the waiting period a little longer. The uncertainty is really killing me, I'm having so much trouble focusing at work--wish I could have all my options on the table now and just make the decision. spewilicious, Jane Wyman, DiLo and 1 other 2 2
