I did misspeak, this was 3 years ago, they just graduated. They applied to 3 schools: Columbia, CMU and a 3rd. They got accepted into the other 2 and picked Columbia. I recall they didn't enjoy their interview w/ CMU. Wasnt the right match
Dongato Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 Putting out good energy for everyone today. Hope that if there's news on one of your schools, it's good news. And if there's no news today, I hope you're able to enjoy the day anyhow!!! secretavatar, jck349, sns1106 and 2 others 5
littlered11 Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 As a distraction from all this anxious waiting--has anyone on here done pre-MFA fellowships/apprenticeships that they would recommend? sns1106 and space94 2
Dro. Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 Hi everyone! Long-time lurker here. I applied to BU this year, but not sure of what my chances are/ when I'll hear back. literally ANY info on anything BU would be much appreciated! Other than that, I just want to wish you all the absolute best of luck!! This process is so tough and we gotta support each other ?

On the Hunter front, I know last year they contacted applicants in waves (one earlier in the process and one later). That may have been a factor of the fact that the program was in transition last year, but it may also be that they read and reach out in batches. ?♀️time will tell...

Coffee&Flowers Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Has everyone else who applied to Michener heard something? Noticed that there are two notifications about rejections from Michener on the results page, but I was neither contacted for an interview nor was I notified about a rejection... Anyone else in the same boat?

I also have a good friend this year who I'd be shocked if he didn't get called in, and has hasn't heard anything yet either. It's truly anyone's guess at this point, but I wouldn't lose hope just yet space94 1

Same! But my friend was asked to come to campus as one of 3 finalists this weekend – I believe just for T&D, but the finalist group may also include Michener folks. I also saw on the MFA Draft Facebook groups that a few people were rejected from Michener. space94 and Coffee&Flowers 2

At this point I guess they're probably just waiting until they've made their acceptances before giving notifications? Whooooo knows. Congrats to your friend! Coffee&Flowers 1

I have a lot more hope hearing this, and also I was fully expecting you to make it to the interview process just based on your history with Hunter. Good to hear about your friend--I won't give up yet! And now that you mention it, I do actually remember Hunter sending out interview requests in batches last year. Good luck, guys!

Not surprised, given the fact that folks were invited for an interview, but now it’s official. Fingers crossed for one less school now. ☺️
sorrytodisruptthepeace Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Longtime lurker here! Anyone have updates on Yale? Or have a feeling whether or not we may hear today? jck349 1

Or am I being too sensitive? Coffee&Flowers 1
pinkornament Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Hi all, I received a call from Yale earlier this week about coming in for an interview in early March, so they've moved on to the finalists stage. littlered11, PlayWitch, Coffee&Flowers and 1 other 4

pinkornament Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 It's been a very pleasant surprise; it's been radio silence elsewhere.

UT Austin, UCSD, Hunter, Northwestern, and given what people have mentioned I'm probably out for the count on all four of those, the script reading lottery works in mysterious ways
