Received an email from someone in the English Department notifying me that I am on the waitlist. They enjoyed my sample and mentioned that I had a strong recommendation. Very grateful this application season. Best of luck writers. 1a/1w/2r/5p

Call from the program director around 3:00pm CST. Was not expecting an acceptance this first go round because I'm a graduating senior and was on the heels of a rejection from UW Madison just three hours prior. Nonetheless, grateful to be admitted this first time around and FULLY FUNDED. Best of luck to you all.

Email to check portal! A long-shot, my only PhD program this cycle. (Or is everything a long-shot) 0a/0w/3r/8p

About 2-3 weeks after application submission. For first residency with July 2020 start.

No email, just checked portal.

1a/1w/3r. No word on funding in the official acceptance email, but international students were required to submit financial affidavits and TA applications with their main application. I spoke to the director a few weeks ago – he said that if I've made it clear on my financial affidavit that I can't fund myself, I'll only be accepted if MSU can fund me. So I suppose they're funding me!

Received a kind email from Michael Jayme

Email from Richard Robbins, no word on funding for the next 7-10 days. I'd love to get connected with someone who has gone there. Anybody?

Email from Director of the Program. No information on funding, but I understand their TAships are a different process. Very excited! 2a/0r/4p

Just checked the portal and it said admission decision with a denial letter. Good luck to everyone else!

Talked to the program director and found out I have a *favorable* spot on the waitlist. Here's to hoping this is the year (and also hoping that those already admitted choose to take their talents elsewhere). 0a/1w/3r/7p

Strange vibes from this program.

So thrilled! Love the program. No info given about waitlist length.

Definitely put a smile on my face to get some positive feedback! 0a/1w/3r/6p

0a/0w/2r/4p Form letter. Only accepted 5 fiction writers. My Quentin Coldwater/Chosen One Complex's teeth are being knocked out, one punch at a time. Put up your dukes, Hopkins.

Same as the poster below; can't admit cuz can't fund; my first waitlist; wateves, got into Purdue and FSU with full funding anyways; 7 more to hear back from.
