To the person posting about Boise below, I'm one of the three accepted fiction applicants, and I haven't committed yet, so there may be movement on the waitlist!

fully funded + TA ship + stipend 8a/2w/5r

Expected this. Was hiding in my Spam folder, as well. Oh well. 3a/0w/8r/1p (but probably another rejection lol)

Still waiting on a notification about funding... Anybody else in the same boat? Does anyone know whether they tell you if you don't get it, or if there's just an empty silence? D:

On the admissions page it says acceptances went out by the 25th of March and Waitlists before the 1st of April. So no news is bad news.

Spam. Just waiting for that rejection from Notre Dame. 2a/7r/1p

1a/1w/3r.

2a/5r/1disappearedintotheether

Did anyone else get a rejection today? The last response I saw posted from them consisted of rejections earlier in March. Just curious if this means I made it far in the decision process for BC, or if they were just a bit late in getting back to me...

1a/2w/6r/1p. I got into my top choice school (fully funded fellowship), so no hard feelings here.

I will be accepting their offer this afternoon; if you were in the waitlisted for the GAship--sorry.

I just declined my offer at Emerson as well as my 12K scholarship. Hopefully this helps someone on the waitlist for admission or someone waiting for funding.

Anyone has some info on the Stonecoast program? It's reputation, publishing record, anything? Does it fare well against good full-res programs? Thanks everyone!

Accepted with full funding and an additional fellowship; very friendly series of emails with a few professors! Considering declining for another offer, since my spouse and I received equal, slightly better funding elsewhere.

Accepted 3/26, waitlist for funding (apparently they can fund one person per genre, but admit one or two more). Followed up with phone call 3/28; really kind people there, and the funding sounds great!

Accepted off of waitlist

Got a call from Robin Talbot today. I was so excited I don't entirely recall the whole conversation, but I got in!

Poster below: I do know that with Iowa's admissions process, students, fellows, read first rounds. There are between 1000 - 1400 manuscripts to go through. The pool gets smaller and smaller as it goes up the chain. Samantha Chang doesn't read until the pool has been considerably reduced. While she signs every response letter, if you didn't get a personal note, there's a good likelihood she didn't actually read your manuscript. So, I wouldn't take it as a personal rejection from her. You should certainly try again in future, when you feel ready.

Basic letter. No special note. A lot of people here have received a special note from the Lan Samantha Chang and it makes me feel like my application and portfolio must have truly been that bad. If so many people are getting special notes, then there must be a few of us who really had stunk. I don’t know if that means that I should even apply next year, given that I didn’t receive such a note. Has anyone applied again after a basic letter? Any personalized response after that?
