MFA Graduate School Admission Results

If you have been accepted to WVU or Indiana for fiction and do not plan on attending, please let them know as soon as you can. Much appreciated.

Accepted off the waitlist.

I got in off of the waitlist. I think I was the first one, and they said they had one person accept the offer, one person decline, and two who they hadn't from in their original crop of offers.

awaiting funding

Received notice a week after their interviews were done.

Accepted off the waitlist--I am accepting it. I will be removing myself from the waitlists at Virginia Commonwealth and Western Michigan, as well as turning down my acceptances at Utah (no funding) and Mankato (with TAship). This is the end for me--you guys have been at times my sanity and at times my insanity. Thank you and good luck, everyone.

got hit with not one but two ASU email rejections! one from the department, one from the graduate college. took their sweet time and then came in for the double whammy lmao

Been wait listed for a month. Emailed to ask when they will make final decisions- no response.

So Rutgers has not called or emailed me...but I logged into the portal today and saw a "Your application has been reviewed, and the Committee has denied admission." If you're waiting for Rutgers, check your portals. I really must suck because this is my second year trying to get into grad school and failing. I have left is mediocre, totally unranked programs that don't offer a single scholarship. 0a/6r/0w/2p

To the frustrated poster about people not responding, I think there are two confounding factors impacting a lot of folks: (1) Some programs still haven't rejected anyone. I am waiting for UND and SIU and got rejected by RU-N via portal *this morning*. So if those are the dream for some people, they are holding out till the last second. (2) Many people may have an acceptance and a wait-list. So they are waiting for that yellow light to turn green before they reluctantly take the green they have.

to the people who have said to check Hobsons, what did you check? mine just says "status: submitted" and i can't find any more information

I have heard nothing from them. I'm not even sure this program is happening. There aren't any current student testimonials on the site for Dance but there are for every other program. It still says "In Review" so I assume I wouldve heard by now if I was rejected, but I can't even find confirmation that this program is really going to take place in the fall. The lack of communication is very disappointing

To the UCR poster below, I never heard anything so I emailed Bryan B. yesterday to put my mind at ease and confirm rejection. He said faculty had made their decisions and "You will receive an official email notification from our Graduate Division in the coming weeks. It can take them some time to process those notifications." So, I would assume if you didn't hear, then it's a rejection across genres.

Rejected off of the waitlist. Still waiting to hear from Saint Mary's and still on one other waitlist. Crossing my fingers.

Off the waitlist. Probably won't accept.

just found out i didn't get into rutgers newark by checking the online portal. never got an email from them, not even when i emailed them before applying asking a couple simple questions. the funding situation isn't great at the two programs that accepted me, so if i do this whole miserable process again, i definitely won't be applying to newark. from my experience and others i've heard, they seem totally inept. frustrated since we all pay a pretty hefty fee to have them look at our work and the least they could do was send a freaking form email. (2a/0w/6r/0p)

Been waiting for this one. That's a wrap! 2a/2r

Any movement on the fiction waitlist? None of the accepted people seem to have turned down their offers so I'm assuming all hope is lost for me on this front.
