I'm sure your fine with the backup though!
Nauna Posted March 3 Posted March 3 7 hours ago, Tuxedocat said: I’m so sorry to say this but I think NC State has released all acceptances and waitlists 😭 Draft had 2 fiction acceptances on Feb 20 and 21. I got a poetry waitlist for NC State on Friday and it said among other things “the program you have applied to has reached capacity” but stated that I’m on the waitlist and should hear back about waitlist movement by May 1. So I think poets who were accepted just aren’t on grad cafe or draft or haven’t announced their results. Really wish I had better news for you and maybe I’m wrong. But the wording of the waitlist email makes me think all accepted people have been notified. Maybe I'm just hypersensitive lately, but I felt like the waitlist email I received from NC State was a touch on the impersonal/cold side.

steins rose Posted March 3 Posted March 3 10 hours ago, sgrad said: what do you think the chances are that a program sends out waitlist notifications before acceptances? 😅 I see the waitlist notifications for NC State have gone out on draft, but so far no poetry acceptances listed long time lurker (i think i posted here once this season haha) but i received my psu waitlist before acceptances went out! really depends on the school. wishing you sm luck hehe🫶🏻 sgrad 1

It was so impersonal that I almost didn’t respond to it at first because I thought it was an automatic portal update instead of an email from a real person! It seems like it was a form response that was copy pasted for all grad programs at NC State. Nauna 1
tiramisu22 Posted March 3 Posted March 3 Has anyone heard anything from University of Tennessee, Knoxville?
DJ Lambchop Posted March 3 Posted March 3 Saw an article on the Facebook group about brown indefinitely pausing their mfa admissions.
Hank Moody Posted March 3 Posted March 3 25 minutes ago, DJ Lambchop said: Saw an article on the Facebook group about brown indefinitely pausing their mfa admissions. Not the literary arts one. I read that article. It's about the theater MFA that run in collaboration with a theater company and they had temporarily paused it after Covid. They're just doubling down on that decision now. Likey doesn't have anything to do with the current administration and not relevant to the literary arts department. Chex, pananoprodigy and Lady Gladys 1 2
everything bagel lover Posted March 3 Posted March 3 Alrighty y'all, we're officially in free game territory I think! These next 2-3 weeks should be a landslide. I know I keep saying that every few weeks but it's gotta be true at some point lol I'm a little confused on Boulder's funding deal, as I've read on the Draft that they are technically fully funded through a mishmash of grants, scholarships, fellowships, and GTA positions, but I'm unsure how this actually shakes out for the program. Those of y'all that are also applying to Boulder, what do you think/how are you feeling about that?
Hjanep Posted March 3 Posted March 3 Here’s hoping for good news today ksiezniczka.monisia, KennyK, Chex and 1 other 4

Either way, manifesting GOOD NEWS FOR ALL.

I didn't apply to boulder last year because yeah from their website i did the math and it seemed like even if you got 100% everything you still walked away with 20 grand in debt by the end. I applied this year just because of that draft post saying it's secretly funded (and last year someone on the draft reported everyone was funded as well). Boulder is such a dream program for me (location and faculty), but i'm scared i'll get in and only be offered tiny funding -- or even worse, funding that's so mishmash it's a gamble year by year. I'd hate to get to year 3 and them be like 'okay pay us 60 grand for the last year, buckaroo' everything bagel lover and Cosmicinkwell 2
