Chex Posted March 20 Posted March 20 Thank you, Brown, for this immaculate edging. I've acquired 93 new mental illnesses today alone, had one not-mini breakdown, recovered from it, and am still perched on the edge of my seat here. Fantastic work, Brown. Well done! 👍🏾 misssalem, Jane Wyman and glowingbrightly 3

First teaching of the Buddha in the Dhammapada is that suffering is made in our own minds. In the long run, distraction only causes suffering; but in the short term, distractions can help balance perspective. I got two tattoos and did like twenty miles of walking meditation just waiting for NYU and Columbia; helped immensely in the short term, and because the distractions weren't unwholesome, helpful in the long run too.

gradschoolpspspsps Posted March 20 Posted March 20 I just got waitlisted at Ole Miss, they very nicely asked me to confirm I was still interested, what other schools I had been accepted and waitlisted at and am still waiting for. I know some people heard yesterday so maybe they haven't finished sending the emails. prufrock_, Ekpe and zaira 3

That's exactly how I was feeling last night when someone else mentioned getting waitlisted, so maybe it's just taking a bit with all the emails.

everything bagel lover Posted March 20 Posted March 20 It feels so slow today! CSU is on spring break and then the deadline for whoever has the GTA offer will be the week after that (April 1st) and though I'm more calm about it now, I'm still holding on to hope that they'll turn it down and the committee will choose me (33% chance, but I have let them know several times they are my top choice lol) ❤️❤️❤️ Objectively, the stipend at CSU is less pay for more work than NAU and in a more expensive city, so I will be happy with whichever way the dice roll lol @Mystic_Sunshine I've got my fingers crossed for you! They probably are just taking their sweet time and testing everyone's sanity and patience lol or maybe moving through alphabetically, or maybe a printer caught fire in the English department and it's diverted everyone's attention away from notifying people. curfew, prufrock_ and Mr. Scribblo 3
crossingmyfingers1212 Posted March 20 Posted March 20 So sorry if this has already been said but does brown send out waitlists before acceptances, and then rejections? waitlists on draft made me assume soft rejection but not sure

KennyK Posted March 20 Posted March 20 When is it appropriate to follow up with a program about pending funding?

Expand they cover a small few people’s tuition – i got offered that until i turned it down. i don’t know if they’re still offering anyone full tuition but i sort of doubt it. i think it’s fine at this point to just email and ask if they’re still considering you for funding, but i wouldnt get my hopes up with emerson. don’t be afraid of reapplying next year – that’s what i had to do KennyK 1

Or do they call everyone? I seen past acceptances where people only received notifications that their applications had updated.

exvat Posted March 20 Posted March 20 Welcome to Spring / Late March! Chiming in to say I'm happy with the results of my second application cycle, and incredibly grateful that I took time after the first season to live my life as a person and a writer before applying again. Made all the difference in readiness, focus, and discernment. I would have gotten so, so much less out of an MFA had I been accepted my first round. However much I was disappointed back then, now I'm grateful for those straight rejections. KennyK, Lady Gladys, everything bagel lover and 3 others 4 2
