1a / 0w / 0r / 8p

Applied in late November 2019.

Phone call from Nick White at about 4:30pm EST // I screamed about it

for summer 2020, merit scholarship pending

Applied on 18 November.

Finally heard back from NYU off the waitlist, lol. I wonder who took this long to decide. 0A / 7R-- see y'all next year

To the posters below, finally got my rejection in the mail today—dated May 3rd. That’s 7 months after I applied. No law against that. I appreciate getting a response after every other schools’ commitment deadline. Super timely! Thanks UMass! I hope for the sake of those who have decided to attend that this brazen indifference isn’t indicative of the quality of the program.

To the poster below, I never received a decision either. So ridiculous.

To the comment/query posted below, if I were you, I would call the department to gain clarity about what information they mean. Also, I don't know if you have checked your Spam Emails. A lot of the times, important emails from programs end up there.

My decision status says, "Incomplete Further Information Requested," does anyone know what this means? Am I still in the running, will they contact me about further information? I haven't gotten any emails about it, and I can't figure out what's incomplete or how to add anything.

Accepted off the waitlist. While it's a wonderful program, I had to turn down the offer due to personal reasons, much to my dismay. Hope this means good news for the next person on the waitlist!

Still haven’t received a decision from UMB. Super unprofessional. What a waste of money.

Has anybody else heard from the Creative Writing department about their MFA admission decision? The last post, here, is from the 6th of April. Also, upon inquiring last week, I got an email saying that they're still 'reviewing' my application. Don't know what's going on since this is so late.

They told me that contrary to previous years, spots were filled for the Op-Res program before the On Campus one. So I got into the On Campus one.
