Just goes to prove that a 4.0 GPA+publications from an elite university doesn't have anything to do with acceptances! On to the next :)

I received a very kind, personal message from Eric Pankey, stating that the poetry faculty was impressed with my work. I'm thrilled!

Saw a voice mail from the director that I'd been accepted. My first acceptance— so excited!

Phone call from the director of the program. He said they're usually pretty early in getting their decisions out. 2a/0w/0r/4p

Phone call from Matthew Vollmer notifying me of my acceptance. One of four students accepted. He said that the fiction notifications will take a bit longer, as there's more material to read. 2a/0r/4p
