I'd bet that they've notified all the acceptances. The program is pretty small and I already saw one acceptance on the draft and two here. I'm guessing they maintain a waitlist, but who knows if it's informal or not.

DylanMorsion Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 Hi all, I only applied to five programs this year: Michener Center (Rejected) Vanderbilt Helen Zell in Ann Arbor UO Eugene Washington Seattle
FalloutCoversEverything Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 Re: Vanderbilt. It looks like waitlist acceptances went out 10 days after the initial acceptances last year. So there is still hope!

Seems very possible. There's still waitlist spots coming too.
Anywordyet Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 Has anyone heard anything from Cornell / Brown? I I looked at last year and Cornell sent acceptances early for one person it seems
manoshij Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) @Anywordyet, where did you get that info about Cornell from? I have applied to it, haven't heard a thing yet. You have news? @sayantika, I am from India too. Where are you located? Does anybody have news about any of these places: OSU, Virginia and Virginia Tech? Edited February 13, 2016 by manoshij

FalloutCoversEverything Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 Cornell acceptances still haven't gone out this year. They did go out last year by around this time. Likely, they'll be going out soon (over the next week).

They're scheduled to meet next Saturday to decide admissions and wait lists, etc FalloutCoversEverything 1

sayantika Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 hi manoshij. I am from Durgapur, West Bengal
holycat Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 Congrats to the CNF dude/dudette who got a call on valentine's day!
Kiri-same Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) Does anyone know if Michigan (Helen Zell Writers Program) emails results? My Prospective Student Center page just has general info (year, program, application #, etc) on the "Status" page (with no "pending" status or anything like that showing). Oh, I do wish they'd all just send the rejections if that's what the decisions are going to be. Already received Minnesota's. Nothing from Michigan, Wisconsin, or Iowa. Guessing Wisconsin is a no since acceptances and wait lists already posted. Too poor to apply to more programs this year. Getting rejected is disappointing even when tempered with the knowledge that it's a long shot. I mean, we WANT to get it, or we wouldn't be applying in the first place (because who'd put themselves through this nightmare if they didn't really want to get in), so OF COURSE it's going to suck when we're rejected. And biggest congrats to those who were accepted and wait listed!!! Omg, I can only imagine Edited February 15, 2016 by Kiri-same clarification, language
FalloutCoversEverything Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 So many acceptances in southern states today--LSU, Alabama, Kentucky PhD. Some awesome programs! I actually was thinking of applying to LSU / Alabama, but I decided they weren't geographically feasible for me. Awesome faculty / funding at both though. Congrats to everyone who got in!!! @Kiri-same It seems like Michigan does email results, usually around the 20th of Feb. (although the date could change).
Kiri-same Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 Thank you, @FalloutCoversEverything. I've heard really good things about Alabama's program, too. They're on my expanded list of places to apply. Next year

Ultralight Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 This may be the first day I wish I was working versus having the holiday off. At least with work I'm too busy to be checking the status of everything. I'm still swimming in the land of hearing nothing. Applied to 8 schools, all which have not notified. Starting to look forward to a denial at least I'm curious about those who have applied to non-funded or partially funded programs. I understand the fully-funded programs are harder to get into (almost impossible) but would people really spend masses amount of money on an advanced art degree? Are people just independently wealthy or is it worth it to some in order to have the graduate school experience? Is it a younger mentality? I've been out of school for 5 years so the idea of debt and a somewhat financially stable future may just be more of a reality for me. Or do some truly see it as a valid choice? Just curious here ... and trying to distract myself from all the uncertainty. Thoughts, anyone?
lunardanse Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 Hi everyone, I've been staring at my phone and email for days at a time. Someone please say something that will make me feel less anxious. Please and thank you.

Just curious here ... and trying to distract myself from all the uncertainty. Thoughts, anyone? I applied to some. There are a lot of programs that aren't fully funded that have great funding opportunities. Columbia (which I applied to because of location) has 10 fully funded TA positions and a couple of fellowships. In terms of selectivity percentages, one has just as good of a chance of getting one of those as one does of getting into many of the fully funded programs. I won't go if I don't get funding, but for me it was worth applying. And there are lots of programs that are 75% funded, etc. that are still worth applying to if one likes the faculty. I totally agree that one shouldn't go unless funded (it's not financially reasonable to me either), but I'm not going to let it stop my from applying to places if they do have funding.
