Wow, I am such a piece of shit that I got declined from my mediocre safety school with a 75% acceptance rate. 0a/6r/3p. I've reached the point of logically thinking through the option of killing myself.

The terse form rejection coupled with how late it took them to notify applicants makes me feel significantly more confident about my decision to accept a wonderful, fully funded offer. Not feeling fuzzy about Purdue (also NC State and Indiana University--cutting it really close for those applicants who are in the midst of tough decisions and university deadlines)

I emailed [email protected] a few weeks ago, and then I sent a follow up a few days ago. Needed to tie up loose ends and make a decision. Figured it was a rejection, but wanted to be sure. Jill emailed me back yesterday will an informal rejection, saying formal email would be out soon. That's it for me! 3a/0w/9r Some final thoughts: Apply to a variety of programs. Take a chance on programs that are in weird places, younger, and/or up and coming. Don't go $50,000+ in the hole for this degree. Find some place that is either affordable or will at least partially fund you. Only apply where you would actually attend. And realize the subjectivity and inherent unfairness in this process. A lot of this comes down to luck. Don't be so hard on yourself. Life will take you where you're meant to go.

Moved off the waitlist!

That's a wrap: 1a/2w/7r - now off to waiting to hear back from the wait list 😩

Accepted off the waitlist. Will be taking the offer. Good luck, everyone!

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.
