I checked my online app on 3/20. Eh, 0/1 :-) A bachelor's degree from Smith College will have to suffice--I do write poetry, after all. Haha; Dreaming on...

Hadn't heard anything so I directly queried the administrator. She gave a very kind and generous response within a few hours.

Notified of official acceptance into program after having a TA interview with director of the program.

Accepted w/o funding at this time, have offers elsewhere w/ funding (but this is a higher-ish choice for me so thank you in advance to anyone with funding offered that turns it down)!

So far, they're not offering any funding. For any of you who may be on a waitlist, I'm going to decline, since I already got in (with funding) to several other schools. But I'm incredibly flattered to have been chosen!

Supposedly (I am 99% sure this is accurate), the last wait-listed person was added on the 10th. I am assuming snail-mail rejections are forthcoming. Yeah!?

They were super nice, I didn't even have to open the email to see the decision. Subject line read, "English Dept Decision to Deny Applicant for fall 2014" As a drunk Kristen Wiig on a plane would say, "auf wiedersehen @holes!"
