PhDreams Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 So my friend is looking for results from other MFA candidates. Anyone get any news yet? She's only received one decision- UW-Madison...rejected. She's still too bummed to join GC and check out the fora herself so I thought that I'd pass along any info that I got. Good luck to all!!!!!!! Hope everyone finds a great program to attend this Fall. intlmfahopeful 1
PhDreams Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 26 views and no replies. Guess no one has really heard either. Sigh... intlmfahopeful 1
mallorn Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Not me personally, but my sister who's applying for MFA CW (Fiction) has heard from Michigan, Alabama, and UT Austin. All rejects. I don't know if that's better than my situation (different field), where I haven't heard from any school yet. intlmfahopeful 1
Magdalena Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 I've got rejections from UC-San Diego, Minnesota, and WUSTL. Some more are presumed rejected. Iowa started notifying yesterday. If you have any questions about specific programs, I can relay some information from the facebook group. intlmfahopeful 1
PhDreams Posted February 25, 2012 Author Posted February 25, 2012 Thanks for the info!! Good luck to everyone. intlmfahopeful 1
mallorn Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 My sister heard from NYU yesterday. Another reject.
intlmfahopeful Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) She can check out the MFA Blog and a Facebook group called "MFA Draft '12" for notification updates from students. Good luck! These are some of the full-res MFA schools which I know of that have begun accepting students this year or putting them on waitlists.

grlfromipanema Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Hi guys, I applied to the following in fiction: NYU WUSTL Penn State Brown Michener
matt828 Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Rejected from WUSTL but: NYU accepted me on Monday, NC State last Sunday! Best of luck!
PhDreams Posted March 9, 2012 Author Posted March 9, 2012 NYU accepted me on Monday, NC State last Sunday! Best of luck! NYU already notified my sister, Congrats!!
bovary Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 Accepted - UCF Rejected - UF, FSU. It stings. A lot. I thought for sure I'd get into one of those schools. Now I feel like, why did I even bother? I feel like a lousy writer. :/

Now I feel like, why did I even bother? I feel like a lousy writer. :/ Congrats on UCF!!! I'm sure you are NOT a lousy writer... and that's obvious by the fact that you got into an MFA program in a very competitive year. Celebrate!
sunshineshay Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 Rejected: Iowa, WashU, Vanderbilt Waiting: NYU
bovary Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Rejected at NYU. Waitlisted at Sarah Lawrence. A strange combination of comfort and disappointment. Two more to go.
jjinx Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Anyone else on the forum applying to writing MFAs this year? Thought I'd give this thread a bump in case there are any lurkers out there. It's the home stretch! Let's freak out together! I haven't heard from any of my schools yet. It's still (I think?) pretty early, but reading about everyone else's decisions, past and present, has got me all wound up.
rabbit_run Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 MA (creative writing-fiction): Texas Tech --> rejected (hoping to get wait listed) UW-Milwaukee --> I saw there was one acceptance to the PhD program today Mizzou Ohio University MFA (fiction) Tennessee --> I saw that there was one rejection to the PhD program today Georgia State The waiting is causing me more stress than I had anticipated. My work production has been pretty much zilch for a week from checking this site and my email.
Umbrage Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 I'm waiting to hear back, too. Was doing all right and then I found this site which led to more procrastination. I've applied for a nonfiction MFA at these schools: Alabama Iowa Montana (Missoula) Oregon State Washington University (WashU) I thought it was a lot of work to get those applications together, and now I see people applying to 10, 12 programs. I'm such a slacker. rabbit_run 1
fancy123 Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 Good idea bumping this thread again. Hopefully we can get it going! I'm applying to: University of California, Irvine University of California, San Diego University of California, Davis Mills Cornell University of California, Riverside Columbia CSU Long Beach CSU San Bernardino San Diego State University All for fiction. The waiting is agony. And I've seen that most of the schools I've applied to usually notify in late Feb or early Mar. I shouldn't be obsessing over this so much. Key word: shouldn't.
gilbert Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Following this (and also agonizing). I only applied to one MFA program in nonfiction - Iowa. Thanks for starting this thread again. CalvinUmeozor 1
dmb Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 American University-accepted already WUSTL University of Maryland University of Alabama Portland State University George Mason University Boston University Brown University UMich All for poetry. Waiting is the worst! Happy I got into one school, at least.
tj2424 Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Alabama Iowa New Mexico Arizona George Mason New Hampshire WUSTL Idaho All for CNF. No word yet. This is going to be a long month.
