Rejected from waitlist, womp womp.

Already have a novel published in the US and ten years teaching in English literature and writing both academic assignments and creative writing in fiction and CNF.

Waitlisted for funding. Accepted to program

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

Hadn’t heard back so I emailed— here’s the response— The offers of admission have been sent out and so have the rejections. You should check your application portal to confirm whether you have received either of these notifications. If you did not receive either notification, then you were on our waitlist, and we were hoping to be able to admit you. However, at this point, we have made all the offers we expect to make for the Fall 2025 semester. Due to the statewide hiring freeze by the governor of Louisiana, we will not be making any offers after April 12. The earliest we may resume the process is in July, barring any extensions of the hiring freeze. I’ve accepted an offer at another school anyways but just wanted my answer. Best of luck to anyone else who is on the waitlist (?? at least I think I’m on the waitlist) 2a/9r/2w/0p

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.

Got offered a spot at UL Lafayette with funding. Feels really late in the season & I already accepted an offer somewhere else so I turned it down. Funding is 2,000$ per month for nine months, so $18,000 per year. Teaching load is 2/2.

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.

Canadian applicant. Distance education for June cohort. Informed of waitlist status only after seeking decision update.

last rejection of this cycle for me. it be like that

If you've received an acceptance and aren't 100% set on it, just know I'm really eager to commit and will be super grateful for a spot. This is my top choice!

Got an email that I was wait listed. Honestly, given all of the hard work this is hugely validating. If anyone does not intend on attending please notify at your earliest convenience.

Disappointed but hey, at least I know
