creative writing Graduate School Admission Results

Accepted off the waitlist via email and phone call. I had completely given up, so I am still in shock! Accepted the following morning. This closes out my (extremely rocky and stressful) season at 1a/6r/0p. For anyone reading this comment this spring or in years following: remember it only takes one acceptance to change the whole game!!! This was my second time applying and I am over the moon. This thing is a crapshoot and I was prepared to reapply in the fall and the fall after that. Your chances of getting in will increase with each time you apply :) good luck

Already knew this was a rejection. Timeline: on 3/5, I knew all initial offers were already out, although waitlisted students were not notified. Seems like they don't notify waitlisted people, just wait to see if their initial offers are accepted. Emailed a few days later to see if I was on the waitlist, and got some nice compliments from a faculty member on a piece but the email implied I was rejected. Portal update 4/1 with the rejection letter.

Was ready to commit to another program, now I have to wait and see how this all shakes out!!

I had resigned myself to another automated rejection before I even opened the email, so this was a very pleasant surprise. One of my top choices, so I really have my fingers crossed!!!!!

CNF; unranked waitlist.

Pleasant surprise! Hollins was one of my top choices of program so fingers crossed!

I was accepted to the summer 2022 program by phone and then by email! I'm so happy!

Interview; then call a few days later from program director Joshua Henkin, who was very charming and easygoing.

Nope. It's OK. I have love and support and a shower to cry into.

1/2 hour interview with Josh Henkin on 3/6, acceptance by phone 3/9. Honest, clear, personal touch.

Email from Natalie Shapero.

Creative nonfiction. They said they only had 7 spots this year and 300+ applicants.
