laura_b Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 I know it's a little early for acceptance/rejection notices. Anyone else on here apply for the CW MFA this year? Where did you apply? What's your top choice? Freak-outs welcome.
discoantfarm Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) @laura_b Glad you started this. Obviously we're all interested in who heard what. Are you a member of the Facebook MFA Draft 13 group? It appears to be an offshoot of the PW/Creative Writing Blog, which doesn't seem to be all that active now. I applied to UT Michener Texas State LSU Mississippi Vanderbilt Virginia Iowa Florida Arizona and the Sewanee summer program just in case. How about you? PS Why does yours say caffeinated and mine says decaf? Edited January 13, 2013 by discoantfarm laura_b 1
Ms.D Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Welp, as of tomorrow, I will have completed all of my applications and I am now freaking out. Schools I've applied to: UCR Cal State Long Beach Cal State San Bernardino Really don't know what to expect but obviously want to get in somewhere and just be back in school. This whole waiting game is making my stomach hurt. Lol.
discoantfarm Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Ms D, only 3 schools? I take it you want to stay in the area. I applied to 11 and wondered if that was enough.
Ms.D Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Ms D, only 3 schools? I take it you want to stay in the area. I applied to 11 and wondered if that was enough. Lol yea, only three this year and money is somewhat tight for me at the moment. I actually considered going to USC but I didn't get the necessary GRE scores for their program, so I decided to apply to local programs that didn't require the exam. Plus going out of state for school isn't an option right now (again, money issues and etc). Just hoping for some good news this round.
Thesmalldog Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Glad this is already starting, the wait is getting to me and I just finished applying. I applied to: Brown Umass Amherst Syracuse Univerity University of North Carolina Washington University in St. Louis Hollins University University of Montana University of Oregon Louisiana State University Ole Miss North Carolina State University New Orleans University Bowling Green State University University of Alabama Ole Miss gets back to its applicants at the end of Jan to say if you got into the second round. yikes! I should try to put it out of my mind, but maybe I'll just obsess about it none stop instead.
laura_b Posted January 15, 2013 Author Posted January 15, 2013 I only applied to University of Arkansas. It will be kind of a miracle if I get in. PS Why does yours say caffeinated and mine says decaf? Number of posts ... I think.
918mde Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 I applied in poetry: Iowa Writers' Workshop (IWW) University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (UM) Washington University in St. Louis (WUSTL) Brown University University of Alabama University of Minnesota I'm not quite freaking out yet, but it's nice to know I'm not alone! laura_b 1
theIronCage Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 This is my second year through the application process, having been accepted by Temple last year with no funding and wait listed at George Mason. This year's list goes like so: Brown Minnesota MN State-Mankato Florida Florida State Ohio State Illinois Wyoming McNeese State University of Alabama Arizona George Mason (they let me apply for free) Washington University in St. Louis Kansas Northern Michigan Temple (they deferred my enrollment, so I'm once again in the pool for funding) I suppose the results will start trickling in within the next 2 or 3 weeks, eh?
laura_b Posted January 20, 2013 Author Posted January 20, 2013 I see on the MFA Draft '13 Facebook group that some people are already getting acceptances.
discoantfarm Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Laura, the acceptances are from Alabama and NC State. Otherwise, it still feels too early to get stressed.
kimgreasy Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Hi guys, I applied to: UT Alabama Washington University in St. Louis & FAU (it's an up-and-coming program that's close to home) Like others have said, I wish I could've applied to more. I'll let you all know what happens! Good luck!
Jay One Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 I applied to: WUSTL, U of Alabama, Virginia Tech, Ole Miss, McNeese. Got an email from Ole Miss tonight saying I made it to phase II. So far, so good. I'll just be happy to get in anywhere, fully funded.
scottius Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Can you provide any more details on the Ole Miss email? And congrats on making it to phase II...
Jay One Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 The Ole Miss email was just, "Congratulations, you are selected to move into phase II. Please complete the UM online graduate form, send in application fee, 3 references..." etc. etc. Just hope I make it to stage III acceptance, because that's what really matters heh.
Loren27 Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 News from anyone??? Full on freak-out here. Wait listed from NYU on March 4th. Accepted to New School (with scholarship) March 10th. Haven't heard from Brooklyn or Hunter. I assume Hunter has already mailed out decisions and I've been rejected... can anyone help shed light?!?!
