Found an automated email in my spam folder to check the ApplyWeb portal for the decision letter. I was assuming it was a rejection since that's usually what those kinds of emails mean. Right before I clicked on the decision letter, I saw a button next to it that said "complete your decision form" and thought "huh that's weird, haven't seen that before" but didn't make the connection at all. It turned out to be an acceptance letter. This is my fifth time applying to MFA programs; I was previously waitlisted at Brown in 2019.

Lovely email and a great scholarship! Quite pleased!

I just happened to check the website this afternoon, and the committee posted a decision on the 4th.

Over the moon right now. 1a/0w/5r/6p

Decision letter posted to their portal (apply web).

Super weird to get an email about this at like 2AM

Email from Matt Frank with acceptance, on the wait list for funding. A bit of a bummer since I thought they were fully funded for all accepted students, but he said the situation was "fluid," "unpredictable," and that he hopes to reach out with an offer of funding soon. Fingers crossed!

can I get an F in the chat
