No GRE, OOS, Unknown $

my alma mater

Didn’t get a notice, checked the portal and saw a decision letter. I applied straight out of undergrad so I’m not surprised, but I did have a good bit of research experience ( 2 RA positions, 2 PI positions from a fellowship I received twice, multiple conference presentations and panels, submitted my honors senior thesis as my writing sample). Congratulations to all that got accepted!

No email, just checked portal and saw the decision. 1a/1wl/6r/1p

Got an email outlining a denial. I have 4 publications relevant, 2 as first author, and lots of teaching experience.

5year stipend

Received an email saying I’m a finalist for a nonfiction spot at OSU. Still excited even though it’s not an acceptance! my top school by a long shot.

Not a ton of publication / writing experience, just wanted to see what would happen if I went for it this season! So, not super surprised. Received a standard rejection email from the department head. Good luck to everyone waiting to hear back! 0a/2r/0w/3p

decision sent via email :(

knew this one was coming after seeing the facebook draft spreadsheet notifs. 3 schools left "The MFA admissions committee has finished reviewing applications, and I’m very sorry to inform you that we are not able to offer you a spot at Oregon State University for Fall 2025. The competition is always fierce, and we can never admit as many students as we would like. A second, automated email will arrive in the next day or two from the OSU Graduate School. We wish you all the best and thank you for your interest in our program."

Fully funded!! :)
