Received e-mail to check portal. Final rejection for the season. I won't be taking my one and only offer since they couldn't guarantee funding. Sailing on until next year. 1a/0w/9r/0p

In off the waitlist for LSU. Very excited to be starting there in the fall. 2a/1w/10r

Accepted off the waitlist! Short and sweet email from program director Wendy Rawlings.

My status never changed (I figured it was a rejection) but I still emailed today asking for the confirmation. Form email! Waiting to hear back from one waitlist, and declined my underfunded offers. Anybody going to summer workshops instead of grad school?

got in off the waitlist, but chose another program. hope another waitlister find their home!

turned down the offer, hope space opens up from the waitlist quickly!

Accepted the offer at BGSU today. I turned down ODU's fully funded slot, so hopefully someone will hear from them soon. I did not wait to hear from Notre Dame; I think they're just taking their time with rejections. My heart's with everyone who's been waitlisted. I know this is a painful process. I hope you all get into your dream schools. xo

Off the waitlist. Probably won't accept.

Been wait listed for a month. Emailed to ask when they will make final decisions- no response.

Has anyone on the NYU waitlist been offered a spot? I see that some accepted spots have declined the offer.

Well, OSU's low residency program is fairly new (est. in 2013) so it seems like it doesn't get nearly as much attention as the full residency program. Bend is lovely so those who were rejected from the Corvallis campus should consider it (I lived in Corvallis for a year and would probably prefer Bend, just saying). They extended the application date even further so they may not have gotten too many applications this year. If you are in dire straits, you should definitely apply to OSU-Cascades!!! My acceptance e-mail was extremely flattering and I feel a bit bad that I already accepted an offer elsewhere, but I truly don't think the low-residency option is for me, and I've always hoped to continue my education in NYC rather than the west coast, where I've lived all my life. Here's hoping my slot goes to someone here who may have lost hope! You still have a shot, believe me. Plus, T. Geronimo Johnson is awesome and I'm sure would be a great instructor to have.

Boston sent me three rejection emails. I guess I didn’t get in but can’t be sure. Need more emails to confirm. 0a/ 7r/ 1p I may have overused the term “stink-butt” in my sample, statemants, and transcripts.

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.

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)

Spam. Just waiting for that rejection from Notre Dame. 2a/7r/1p
