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

Automated acceptance email from grad division came at 4 AM!

Received no notification at all via email, phone, mail... nothing, all through the end of April. Kept checking the application portal, it still read "awaiting decision". Wrote twice in April to the contact email for MFA Creative Writing as I had other offers pending and needed to make a decision; one contact was via the portal, other via direct email, and still received no response. After May 1, thinking maybe I was on the wait list and they were waiting to see if a space opened up after others replied to offers, I finally contacted graduate admissions, who said the department had not yet notified them to send my decision, and they suggested I contact someone else in the Creative Writing department, which I did. Here was the response: "I'm sorry you have not received word from the Graduate School yet. Notices should have been sent out a month ago. Perhaps we have the wrong email address for you on file. I'm sorry to say that your application was not advanced to admission for the 2025 academic year. We hope you will consider reapplying next year and wish you the best of luck in all your future endeavors." Bogus - they had my email on file and no notice was posted on portal. Glad I have another offer to accept and don't have to deal with a program that can't give the courtesy of a response to applicants after multiple attempts to get an answer on a decision.

sent me an email to the portal, expected a rejection because no interview in february. still pretty gutted regardless.

Rejected off the waitlist. Congrats to everyone who got in!

Well I figured

Newark. kinda sad ....

Accepted off wait-list with full funding, TAship, and an additional scholarship. I am so thankful ????

Hadn’t heard back so I emailed— here’s the response— The offers of admission have been sent out and so have the rejections. You should check your application portal to confirm whether you have received either of these notifications. If you did not receive either notification, then you were on our waitlist, and we were hoping to be able to admit you. However, at this point, we have made all the offers we expect to make for the Fall 2025 semester. Due to the statewide hiring freeze by the governor of Louisiana, we will not be making any offers after April 12. The earliest we may resume the process is in July, barring any extensions of the hiring freeze. I’ve accepted an offer at another school anyways but just wanted my answer. Best of luck to anyone else who is on the waitlist (?? at least I think I’m on the waitlist) 2a/9r/2w/0p

Rejected with an email. Good luck to everyone else.
