Graduate School Admission Results

Automated acceptance email from grad division came at 4 AM!

Received no notification at all via email, phone, mail... nothing, all through the end of April. Kept checking the application portal, it still read "awaiting decision". Wrote twice in April to the contact email for MFA Creative Writing as I had other offers pending and needed to make a decision; one contact was via the portal, other via direct email, and still received no response. After May 1, thinking maybe I was on the wait list and they were waiting to see if a space opened up after others replied to offers, I finally contacted graduate admissions, who said the department had not yet notified them to send my decision, and they suggested I contact someone else in the Creative Writing department, which I did. Here was the response: "I'm sorry you have not received word from the Graduate School yet. Notices should have been sent out a month ago. Perhaps we have the wrong email address for you on file. I'm sorry to say that your application was not advanced to admission for the 2025 academic year. We hope you will consider reapplying next year and wish you the best of luck in all your future endeavors." Bogus - they had my email on file and no notice was posted on portal. Glad I have another offer to accept and don't have to deal with a program that can't give the courtesy of a response to applicants after multiple attempts to get an answer on a decision.

sent me an email to the portal, expected a rejection because no interview in february. still pretty gutted regardless.

Rejected off the waitlist. Congrats to everyone who got in!

Newark. kinda sad ....

Accepted off wait-list with full funding, TAship, and an additional scholarship. I am so thankful ????

standard rejection email, crushed by this lol

Rejected with an email. Good luck to everyone else.

accepted off the waitlist, but will decline !

Accepted in March to MFA but had no funding. On 4/7, waitlisted for TLF (20% tuition scholarship). They can't tell me until August 1 if I'll come off it or not... I will be declining. I can't (and nobody should) wait that long.

Email to check the portal. Seven applications, seven rejections. Congrats to everyone who got accepted into a program.

Finally found out only after the portal updated. Disappointed but not surprised. I never received a physical letter. I emailed on March 20th to request a digital copy, but my email was not responded to. When I called admissions over a week later, there was no one to answer the phone, so I left a voicemail that never received a call back. I don't know if maybe there was restructuring in the admissions department, but it felt very unprofessional.

Accepted off the waitlist and will be attending! 4a/2w/1r/0p
