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.

Accepted today via a nice personal email, but no funding available. Non-resident tuition runs about $7,035/semester, so that will be a tough one to accept. I guess NMU is no longer fully funded... Apparently the department didn't get the number of TA positions from the university that they were hoping for.

In off the waitlist.

Got a call that I was in off the waitlist, will probably have to decline based on funding. Still a huge honor though! 3a/1w/5r

I got off the waitlist in Miami University. So happy about this.

I likely won't accept the waitlist position as I've got a better offer elsewhere.

Actually not (quite) a rejection. I had been waitlisted and emailed to express my continued interest. Got a reply back that 2 of the 3 slots in fiction offered this year have been taken, and I am not in the top 2 slots on the waitlist. So, very very likely a rejection. A nice personal email explaining all this.

CNF, phone call & email

Admitted off the waitlist!!!! My knees hurt from jumping up and down. Waitlisted 2/15 , admitted 3/29.

Fully funded offer with stipend :)

Whoever got an offer, congratulations! Please make up your mind soon and rid me of this mind-numbing anxiety.

Absolutely thrilled! What a tremendous honor! I am going to do everything possible to make this happen because I will not let the lack of full funding stop me now!

Fiction

Longish, apologetic email - "our program is relatively small and further reduced this year"
