Zebras4Ever Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 For anyone curious or for future reference, CSU-LA notified applicants today.
emmadlemma Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 Got my official rejection email from UCSD this morning. At least I don't have to wait any more!
terrarium3528 Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 I still haven't heard anything from Yale, has anyone else? @faro555 ? @Owlcake ?

I feel like I've heard of quite a few people not getting rejected yet, so I'm wondering if they had readers comb through the applications first and now the faculty is reading what the readers passed on? This is pure speculation.

terrarium3528 Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 I called; they said they'd decide finalists "by next week." Hope this is helpful!

Zebras4Ever Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 @emmadlemma got my UCSD rejection email today too : ) @LordQuas Most of the schools considered most prestigious offer full funding (some/most require you to TA for it). Yale, Iowa, Indiana, and Brown are fully funded but extremely hard to get into. Juillard's graduate certificate program I believe comes with a stipend? but is also near impossible to get into. Boston is fully funded as is I believe Arkansas. I've learned through my conversations with a student as ASU that it's not fully funded for everyone - it depends on what's offered and how well the student hustles for opportunities. I think UT-Austin, UT-Michener, and UCSD are all or mostly funded, but I'm not sure. Columbia, NYU, Northwestern, and the New School are nowhere close to it - at those programs most people accumulate a very large amount of debt. I'm not sure about Brooklyn College, Carnegie Mellon, Hunter, Ohio, Rutgers, Temple, USC. All state schools will at least have cheaper tuition. Programs that admit a lot of people, like NYU, Columbia, and Northwestern, tend to offer a lot fewer financial resources.  SeaLou and LordQuas 2
jnp809 Posted March 10, 2018 Posted March 10, 2018 Hey all. I’m a current student at Ohio. To answer the financial question. Every OU student gets tuition remition. And most students get a teaching position with a stipend. If this is something you care about, let Charles know in your interview. I was upfront with him that I wouldn’t go to OU without a full stipend and while a gamble, it worked out for me. And he always makes sure that whatever offer you got your first year does not decrease while you’re there. Hope that helps. Feel free to reach out with any questions. LordQuas 1
asimpleton Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 Anyone heard from BU yet? Looks like someone was accepted last week based on gradcafe results...?
Zebras4Ever Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 @asimpleton BU is Boston, right? Could you send the link with the results you mentioned? I haven't heard anything from Boston yet : /
Zebras4Ever Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 @asimpleton Oops, never mind, hilariously I've never checked the results page before! just found what you were talking about. I guess there's someone out there who was accepted but who doesn't post here! oh well, that's BU crossed off my list of possibilities
newengland1 Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 I should totally be getting on with my life and not posting here because I'm already in a grad program and about to graduate. But! Noticing that someone has gotten in when you haven't heard anything does NOT mean you're not also getting in. I learned this the hard way when I applied to programs. Anything could happen still. Have faith. M96Writ and AS90 2

LordQuas Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 What do you guys wanna talk about in the meantime? faro555 1
LordQuas Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 Anyone see or read any good plays lately? M96Writ and faro555 2
Nowadays Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 Hi All, Two updates: Interviewed at Hunter and also received rejection today from Yale via portal. Good luck!
AS90 Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 Hey all, first time applying to grad schools, first time posting. I got my rejection letter from Yale back in February. Still waiting to hear anything on my other applications. Has anyone heard anything from Columbia, NYU or Brooklyn College?
MFAInDissaray Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 @TBA1982, first off, sorry to hear about the Yale Rejection. I'm a first time MFA applier, and also applied to Hunter. I haven't heard back yet, but ya never know. what interests me most about Hunter is its faculty and though I've been accepted to other programs I'm definitely wondering if I'd want to hold off and try again there next year. Would you have any interest in saying a little bit about your experience level in the field / what your style of writing is? No worries if not, I just really adore both the faculty heads and would really want to aim for at least an interview with Hunter if I apply again next year.  I also saw you interviewed at Yale last year ( sorry for snooping the post history, was looking to see if you'd applied to Hunter before), did they interview you again this year? If this is incredibly nosy I apologizeÂ
MFAInDissaray Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 @AS90 I believe I know some people who interviewed at Columbia this past weekend but it's very possible there's another round! AS90 1
