It's looking like Mississippi might be only chance and waiting for them is torture at this point. 

i’m hoping for mississippi, u of o, seattle, and boulder

I also applied to boulder. 

I'm thinking Mississippi will probably take another week since March 1st was the deadline to submit the application.

Mine does say met but I sent it directly via parchment. 

I'm sure your fine with the backup though!

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.

i sent directly through parchment too! and parchment did say it had been downloaded by the recipient but a couple days ago i realized i had a different email connected to my parchment so i made a new account w correct email and sent it again

Mine says that too, even though the service that I used to send it confirmed that my transcript was received and opened. Just to be on the safe side, I emailed my unofficial version directly to the MFA email address that they included in the Phase II notification email.

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🫶🏻

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.

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.

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?

What's coming soon? Seems like WashU and Hunter are nigh, maybe NWP and U of O? 

Either way, manifesting GOOD NEWS FOR ALL.

SAME! It read like a rejection portal update. Maybe they're testing our reading comprehension, haha.

do we think we'll hear from brown these coming few days? :"D
wishful thinking perhaps but it's the last decision i'm waiting on! (FINGERS CROSSED)

I think last year they notified around 3/4-6 so I wouldn’t be surprised if we did🥲 I’m not ready

Has anyone heard anything from University of Tennessee, Knoxville?

I don't believe they have sent notifications! I am surprised, as they started notifying as early as 2/19 last year! My portal still says"Awaiting Decision." Hopefully we hear soon! Good luck!

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'
