Purplesunscreen Posted February 28 Posted February 28 I'm not on the draft. Are all UT Austin NWP fiction acceptances out?
womanonline Posted February 28 Posted February 28 32 minutes ago, luna2 said: which draft? when did it come out? The Facebook draft group spreadsheet. Someone posted that they got accepted into Iowa for poetry at 9 pm ET last night. Doesn’t necessarily mean the call happened at 9 pm, that’s just when it was put on the spreadsheet luna2 1
womanonline Posted February 28 Posted February 28 Omg I just got into SAIC??? I never got an interview, but I just got an email to check my portal and I'm accepted???? I can't believe it omg. Hope: Renewed. nonsense, meanwhile, MamaCats and 9 others 12
Toastyyy Posted February 28 Posted February 28 Hi everyone with similar hopes and dreams! Congrats to those with acceptances. I’m not on socials and don’t have access to the draft. Anyone care to tell me if there’s anything from WVU on there? maxmaxmax 1
womanonline Posted February 28 Posted February 28 Okay I got accepted to SAIC and now I’m already seeing the worst in it… Is it sketchy that I was told they’d do interviews and then I didn’t get one? Also I’ve seen a lot of people with acceptances to programs getting personalized emails and/or calls, but I just got a generic email to check portal and then a very short, generic acceptance in the portal. Is this typical? Should I give it some time? I thought it was usual procedure to have someone personally reach out rather than a form portal update. Am I just seeing the worst in things or do some schools just operate like this?

Is this typical? Should I give it some time? I thought it was usual procedure to have someone personally reach out rather than a form portal update. Am I just seeing the worst in things or do some schools just operate like this? i think part of it is that SAIC is an art school who doesn't guarantee funding (or really scholarships of any kind) to their prospective students--they're just interesting in getting people in. (now that's obviously not to say that there isn't rigor involved both in the vetting of applicants or in the quality of the education you'd get there...but they do need X amount of students to pay tuition in order to keep everything operating). i applied to SAIC for a different MFA (for comics--i like keeping up in both the threads), and i had an interview and had the head of the department call me, but a.) i had been chosen for a merit scholarship, and b.) i think it really depends department to department. compared to say, a research institution with an english department, i have to imagine that the size of the creative writing department at SAIC is a bit smaller. all this being said though, i would totally reach out to the head of the department to set up some kind of call/zoom meeting, just to get a sense of the program a bit more. i think it's understandable to have some warning signs going up, but hopefully talking to them would give you a better clue on what decision to make. good luck! womanonline 1
bioluminescent sloth Posted February 28 Posted February 28 Hi! Here are the programs I'm thinking we may hear back from this week: NC State, UVA, and Brown. Though Brown could send notifications later than in previous years based on recent events. maxmaxmax, strawberrymatcha, lisichka and 1 other 4

I’m not in the draft so I’m not sure what’s happening! On 2/23, 5 people on the draft (3 fiction, 1 poetry, 1 nonfiction) got interview requests, so I'm assuming that anyone that hasn't gotten anything so far are just rejected (which, of course, includes your truly) Edited February 28 by BowelMovement Oh unless you've been interviewed already, then in that case I don't think final results are out yet nonsense 1
hermione granger Posted February 28 Posted February 28 how many does brown usually accept/waitlist for fiction each year?

bluecarpet Posted March 1 Posted March 1 I am dying to see this spreadsheet 😭 how long does it take to get into the facebook group? I didn't know it existed until two days ago and now I am tortured by this knowledge (and "pending")
bluecarpet Posted March 1 Posted March 1 I was let in, thank you. Looks like the one place I was still hopeful about sent notifications long ago. A rather soul-crushing and pocket-draining process. XXY, runlolarun and bucket 1 2
