I was waitlisted last year, as well. I would love to attend this program. 1a/2w/5r

Email from Marnie Leonard. No mention of rank but did mention it could take about six weeks and requested patience.

New Writers

Kind form email informing I am one of 17 on the waitlist, unranked. 3a/2w/1r/7p (pretty sure 3 of those 7p are flat rejections).

Even if I eventually get in I doubt I'll end up with their limited funding, but I still count this as a win

Congrats to the person who got the acceptance below! Any news on whether more calls are going out/if there are still waitlists coming? Tx for the info :)

To the University of Michigan poster below - I just wanted to say that I love your writing.

It was a long shot for me...but I have been changed by the entire grad school process. I've discovered more about what I want to do, and what path I should take. I am extremely proud of myself to be able to overcome my own negative mind and anxiety to apply to grad school.

Same... 50% offer, I wonder if funds trickle down if fellowship offers are declined?

Received funding email from NYU -- 50%

Initial phone call from Stan Rifkin was attempted on Friday 3/1. He left a message saying the committee was reading my sample and were really enjoying it, and that he wanted to talk about my application on Monday. This left me to languish all weekend, reveling and agonizing about it in equal measure. I applied with both fiction and nonfiction, and was told that Tom Grimes and Debra Monroe loved my writing in particular. Craziness—I kept seeing everyone here get these sort of compliments and thought it’d never happen for me. I’m supposed to hear about assistantships on March 12th! If I get that/the equivalent of full funding, I really want to go! 3a/0w/5r/12p

Requested application status via email last Friday and received a pleasant and kind (but brief) response this morning.
