Has anyone been brave enough to contact BU? Do we know anything? Except for one "special case" in Poetry, I don't think I've seen any acceptances yet.

Rejected from IWW with a handwritten note that said: “Beautiful prose.” This one stung because as part of my writing sample, I sent them the first 60 pages of my novel (which I had never shown to anyone outside of friends and family). I suppose that at least is some feedback or semblance that they liked it. Waiting to hear back from 3 more programs. Let’s see how it goes. What a comfort and camaraderie this board has been. Good luck to those still waiting to hear and get confirmations.

Email with offer letter attached. Also available in Student Centre on MyConcordia. Thank you, Concordia! Feels good.

If Rutgers Camden accepted 5 applicants to each genre, they are done with acceptances, as I believe 5 new students in each genre is their target. Oh well.

Got the nicest email from Doug Unger. Really hope this turns into an acceptance!

I was sitting on my bed brushing my teeth when I noticed the email. Skimmed for the rejection and instead found myself (kindly) waitlisted and began sobbing (while foaming toothpaste). I don't care if nothing comes of this and the offer stagnates in waitlist-limbo. I'm shocked they've even considered me. Thank you UA Fayetteville for the ego boost. I needed it.

Received a call from Gregory Spatz offering acceptance and a GSA position. 4a/5r/5p

All thee schools - Minnesota Mankato, Hollins, NC Wilmington - offer my full funding, but Hollins is 2 years the other two are three years long. I just wish I had some info on the programs themselves. I know NC Wilmington has a reputation for being innovative, Minnesota Mankato is mentioned in the "top 25 underrated programs" and they seem super nice, and Hollins used to be great, now that seems uncertain. My primary concerns are quality and funding - latter is similar with all three.

Agree with the last poster. The 2 vs 3 year funding is what makes programs like University of Michigan so amazing. A third year fellowship with full funding and time to focus on writing. Definitely consider that a 3 year program (like Michigan or Syracuse etc) is actually offering you much more $$$ overall than a 2 year program (even if it's less each year).

Anyone familiar with the reputation of Stonecoast and perhaps the program? How does it compare to full-res programs? Is it looked down on because it is low-res? Thanks!

Anyone familiar with the Stonecoast program's reputation and perhaps the program? How does it compare to full-res programs? I'm so confused about low-res programs. Are they looked down on because they are low-res?

Was called 3/1 and offered a spot, called 3/13 and offered funding. Absolutely ecstatic!

Thank you for the advice on Hollins. My current options are: Hollins, NC Wilmington, Minnesota Mankato (I've been accepted to Umass Boston and UNO as well but without adequate funding). How do these programs rank compared to each other and in general?

SCREAMED. First choice school. I'll go if I get in.
