Call from Ha Jin. Made me happy

Form email. 0a/0w/2r. What a learning experience. Congrats to the MFA cohort of 2016!

do we know if they notify fiction acceptances all on the same day?

Since someone already got a call from Leslie Epstein, I think they started notifying today. Well...

Call from Leslie Epstein.

There is one acceptance posted for fiction. However, I doubt its credibility since I saw it posted yesterday with today's date?!

Also going nuts!!

To the poster below: I'm in the same boat...going crazy!!!

anyone heard back for the fiction MFA program? going crazy over here!

Does Columbia notify their rejections at all? Has anyone received any such correspondence?

To the poster below: I'm also on the wait list and have heard nothing. Tried to get an indication of my rank and size of list but they didn't divulge any details.

has anyone on the UA fiction wait list been accepted yet?

:-/

Well, I guess that's it then. 14 applied and 14 rejected! But to be quite honest, I feel that this is probably the best thing that could have happened to me since I just recieved my BA and have a world of possibilities at my fingertips. Congratz to all that made it! And to those that didn't this time around: please remember you can, make your own way into the writing career you want- we don't need to get MFAs to be a successful writer!!

Email to check website.

For all of you fiction applicants who have been waiting patiently in purgatory, I emailed the department and received this response/unofficial rejection: "Initial Prose offers went out about 2 wks ago. We are still waiting to hear who is going to be coming. Applicants receiving funded offers have until 4/15 to let us know although we are hoping to hear sooner. Some Prose applicants have also received wait list letters/emails. I checked for you and you are not on these initial lists. Since our program is small, it is most likely that the committee will get their class from these two groups of people although since only a couple of people have officially accepted, they will not start letting people know there will be no more offers until they are closer to getting their class, hopefully in the next few days."
