But it's torturous. Lol. Expand Ditto! Seeing some of these folks with acceptances to JHU and Iowa and places with 2x the funding gives me some hope, though... It's gonna be a long March!

quadcrossedfingers Posted February 28 Posted February 28 I also got accepted to NYU for poetry!!! Future cohort buds?? We'll see though because I can't afford to go without funding. I really want to celebrate but I have this terrible feeling that I won't be able to go because I know at least two fellowships have already been offered. This is my only yes so far (2 waitlists at fully-funded including UMich) and I'm so worried that it'll be my only yes and I won't be able to afford to go! I wasn't going to apply there in the first place, it's the only not fully-funded program I applied to, but I got so excited after hanging out with some of the faculty and found out about the fellowships but I know they are so limited. And I mean living in NYC literally teenage daydream come true except for how on earth could I afford that lol. WHEW wowee I don't know what to think! The offer came via email (weird cause I know t others got phone calls from Deborah Landau) and it said to call them to ask questions to the admissions person as well as gave Deborah's email. So I called and left a message and emailed cause I really need to know about funding! I feel very doubtful that there is any available for me based on these little signs. So idkkkk. What do y'all think?? I am so desperate to have even one plan for what I'm doing next fall lol but just like the waitlist I feel like I can't get my hopes up or bank on it. I am 100% not going to take out loans. I'd sooner do a second round of applications next year. theyearshallrunlikerabbits, Mr. Scribblo, DiLo and 1 other 4

Expand I think the fellowship waitlists move quite a bit especially for people admitted off the bat and not off the waitlist. Worth holding out hope and expressing interest/needing funding

Also mention that you would love to be considered for additional funding if it becomes available. Someone who got this initial offer (half tuition waiver) last year was later offered a dean's fellowship on April 3 (full tuition waiver + health insurance but without stipends); and then a few days later, their offer was bumped to the full package (tuition + health insurance + 34k annual stipend). From what I know, it helps to have other offers and let them know of it, but they usually have movement and things open up. Rooting for you all the way!

I think you stand a good chance to make it out of the waitlists or get a bumped-up offer from NYU. See my reply to exvat above. Fingers crossed for you! Mr. Scribblo 1
exvat Posted February 28 Posted February 28 (edited) Thank you @everything bagel lover @Ekpe @Sumire11 @seezeegee @Tuxedocat @vilum @pananoprodigy @Chex and everyone else!!! Can hardly believe it. Congrats to @quadcrossedfingers as well!!!! Fingers crossed for cohort buddies! May funding odds be ever in our favor!🤞🤞 Funding details will be included with a formal offer letter in the next couple of weeks, so no mention atm. NYU is my top choice, and I'll certainly let them know that. I cannot fund my own education, but to my incredible joy and amazement, people in my life have already started nudging people we know with money they'd perhaps consider parting with, as patrons of the arts, so to speak 😂 🙏😭 Alright, gonna go meditate for a bit, ground myself some. Good news can be as destabilizing as bad 🤪 Edited February 28 by exvat Also, outta reactions, but rooting for y'all!! sgrad 1

Expand Thanks! I've been hearing good things about the area and community, and it's a part of the country I haven't been to yet, so I'm very excited! On 2/28/2025 at 3:14 PM, everything bagel lover said: Also, is anyone else else bringing along a partner/pet/dependant with you? How has that impacted your decision making process? Expand I'm bringing my mom, two cats, and about 25 houseplants. To be honest, that hasn't impacted my choices at all. First, because it's my mom's choice to come with or not, and two, because I'll find a way to keep my cats with me no matter what. Now, the political environment in some places has certainly influenced my choices, and there are definitely several programs I did not apply to because of the state they are located in. I'm out of reactions, but congrats to everyone on their good news! And best of luck at getting off wait lists! Last note: I finally got my JHU rejection email this morning. They were not sent alphabetically.
nauseated Posted February 28 Posted February 28 Idk if this is relevant to this thread for you guys to know but I got rejected for a Fulbright scholarship last year. I wasn't gonna reapply, but just had a sudden urge to give another go, this time for an MFA. I don't know if it will work because post-Trump funding issues are all up in the air but, who knows and what if, etc etc etc
