But why are they all calling so late?😭 In terms of UF-- I went to UF for undergrad and know one of the people who work in deciding all that. They have a later due date for applications and it took them a while to actually get through them because of scheduling nonsense or something. As for Iowa, I have no clue. I'd for sure thought it was Over. I still haven't heard from Rutgers Camden, UVA or UH yet though. Looks like a late year in general. I wouldn't be surprised if it has to do with the bureaucracies of all these schools going Insane because of funding questions. Even mfas who don't have much to worry about in terms of funding are probably still subject to more nonsense. If not that, then maybe it's just an extra busy year....

It was after midnight EST when you posted which would be 11pm Iowa time. And it’s a Sunday! This is all assuming you posted soon-ish after the call so maybe they called much earlier

misssalem Posted March 10 Posted March 10 13 hours ago, Tuxedocat said: Yeah sure! Accepted to the following schools (in no particular order): Michigan, WashU, NYU, Columbia, University of Florida, Bowling Green, New Hampshire, University of British Columbia (Canadian school) waitlists: Virginia Tech, NC State (I applied to these two a bit last minute so I see my waitlists here as super impressive) rejections: Northwestern Litowitz, Wisconsin, Cornell, and U of Toronto (the last one is an MA program in Canada and I think they had issues with my prerequisites because I attended undergrad in the USA) Teach me your ways Sensei 🙏 But seriously well done you!!!! This is incredible!!! Tuxedocat 1
zaira Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Waking up to so much good news in the thread today! Massive congrats to everyone who got acceptances over the weekend!!! misssalem, curfew and Ekpe 3
everything bagel lover Posted March 10 Posted March 10 (edited) Congratulations on the iowa acceptances yall!!!!!!! @pearadox @curfew That's so incredible!!!!!! ❤️❤️ I realized my first sleepy congrats last night did Not convey enough hype for what is a huge achievement! This is the week I think. At least for Wyoming, they say that they send out all notifs out by March 15th so this is their week. This is also personally the week when I (and other admits) should hear back about funding for CSU and I literally had a dream last where all the top applicants had to submit their portfolio in video form and one person did funny tiktoks and I was like "oh nooo, my monologue isn't funny at all" and it was terrible and silly lol Here's to hoping for more good news today and this week generally!! Also, an unexpected bonus if I don't get funding at CSU and go to NAU: no more daylight savings nonsense.

Eloise2897 Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Only schools I am still waiting to hear from are NMU and UVA. Looks like there is a UVA acceptance reported on Draft, but considering how many waitlists I'm on, another one would come as no surprise 🥲. I don't think NMU ever notifies later than mid-March. Ready to just know where I'm at for all of these schools so that Uncertainty Round II can begin as we all play the waitlist shuffle. Also, if you're on the WVU waitlist and were wondering, I found out that it IS ranked, though they didn't tell me how long the list is.
Mystic_Sunshine Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Good Morning Guys! Just wanted to say a huge congrats to @curfew and @pearadox for getting into Iowa. Congrats @orb weaver for UF. And anyone else I'm forgetting Also @everything bagel lover hoping you get that good news on funding soon. If makes you feel better, I too am having weird dreams. Chex, everything bagel lover, curfew and 1 other 4
GhostOfHermann Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Good morning, I'm wondering if anyone has advice for when to send a follow up email to schools where I'm waitlisted? I did send a thank you email right after being places on the waitlist to express my gratitude and excitement, but that was over a month ago now. When is it reasonable to follow-up without being a pest, and how should I ask the question, "What are my chances of getting in?" but in a polite way? Thanks!

Waitlist movement should start happening sometime next week or the week after I would bet (once most if not all of schools have released their decisions and funding info so folks can start making choices.) According to the vets in draft, about then is when you can reach back out to reaffirm your interest and excitement about the program. It helps if you already have an acceptance already—then you can let them know that you have other offers but still have their program as a first choice. Just be wary of telling more than one program they’re the top. My first year when I had 1 waitlist and 0 acceptances in my reaffirmation of interest email I made sure to mention that I was taking a workshop class to prepare for entering the cohort should a spot open up. (Didn’t get me off the waitlist but it was worth a shot 😂) GhostOfHermann 1

vilum Posted March 10 Posted March 10 can we assume that by now brown is a soft rejection? or could they be calling/sending out waitlists today as well?

Haven't heard anything on waitlists. It's possible those went out already though it's equally possible they'll show up today. I think acceptances are done, personally.

I think acceptances are done, personally. ok ok I know the data is flawed but it does look like in past years they called a few people in advance & accepted others via email on the same day they released other decisions. it does feel healthier for me to brace for rejection - but we only know of one phone call to fiction. misssalem 1
tomat0tomat0 Posted March 10 Posted March 10 currently at 8? soft rejections, which feels like a crazy high number-- i'd have expected more "confirmed" rejections to have rolled in by now? hoping to get at least some of those this week (if only for the sense of closure). also manifesting we hear from rutgers camden soon 🙏 everything bagel lover 1
