Moved on to second round

Informed by email, no financial aid information yet

4th year applying, this was a big shock

Personal email from program director, followed by a zoom call. Followed up by an automated University email and portal update.

Had a call with the director, who told me on the call.

Called by director first.

Asking to defer enrollment, seeing if they can give me funding (I applied WAY late in the season)

Low-residency, Pan-European MFA.

Deferred until Spring 2026. Low-res MFA

I was admitted (late) to New School's MFA, since I applied after the priority deadline. Asked if I could defer until 2026.

Rejected from waitlist, womp womp.

Already have a novel published in the US and ten years teaching in English literature and writing both academic assignments and creative writing in fiction and CNF.

Rejected off the waitlist in April, then an offer unexpectedly in June! So excited.

Waitlisted for funding. Accepted to program
