A nice email from POI. 4a/3w/2r/0p

Found out I am on wait list at UNT after calling and speaking with someone in department. Curious if the other 3 accepted Fiction PhD. candidates are waiting to hear from other programs or are going to accept. I usually would just sit back and hope for the best, but I have a job offer starting out-of-country 4/15 and have to be out of my lease May 1st, so having to wait till 4/15 then to find out if I am accepted is not optimal. Thanks for any info!

Email to check portal. Was expecting rejection based on the fact that admits and waitlists had gone out some time ago. Two notes for future prospective students gleaned from applicants I know who applied this round (who knows how true these are, but I loved getting unsolicited advice from gradcafe so here you go) : (1) Apply early. Like beginning of December. It could actually have a significant impact on chances of acceptance. It definitely can't hurt. (2) Despite reputation for genre-friendliness, NC State has publicly and repeatedly said they are not a genre fiction program. Consider application materials carefully and talk about how much you love John Kessel at your peril. ;)

Just turned down my spot for fiction, so expect movement on the wait list.

Rejected twice from UF but not bothered lol

Well, that's it for me. Serves me right for only applying to the long shots, but you gotta try, right? 1a/8r

Has anyone else not heard back yet from Emerson?

Deadline is April 15

For those who got into NYU, does anyone mind sharing the decision deadline? On the waitlist and wanted to know when I might expect to hear. Thanks all.

Nice phone call from Chris Lowe explaining funding, deadline for acceptance, etc. Great news on a Tuesday afternoon.
