Moved off of the wait list. I'm waiting for an official offer from a PhD program that gave me unofficial notification, so I'll be turning this spot down as soon as I get that. Hopefully that helps somebody out!

I got accepted into columbia chi around march 1st, but today I got an email that I received the graduate award for partial tuition funding!! this was my top choice (to work with jenny boully) and i'll be at 'admitted student day' next week to maybe chat about funding more before i accept lol. see some of y'all there? p.s. still waiting to hear back from rutgers/camden, but i'm assuming it's probably rejection. i'm also still waiting to hear back from alabama.

Rejected from IWW with a handwritten note that said: “Beautiful prose.” This one stung because as part of my writing sample, I sent them the first 60 pages of my novel (which I had never shown to anyone outside of friends and family). I suppose that at least is some feedback or semblance that they liked it. Waiting to hear back from 3 more programs. Let’s see how it goes. What a comfort and camaraderie this board has been. Good luck to those still waiting to hear and get confirmations.

If Rutgers Camden accepted 5 applicants to each genre, they are done with acceptances, as I believe 5 new students in each genre is their target. Oh well.

I was sitting on my bed brushing my teeth when I noticed the email. Skimmed for the rejection and instead found myself (kindly) waitlisted and began sobbing (while foaming toothpaste). I don't care if nothing comes of this and the offer stagnates in waitlist-limbo. I'm shocked they've even considered me. Thank you UA Fayetteville for the ego boost. I needed it.

To those wondering about Camden -- I got an email the night of March 1st from Pat Rosal, which was followed up with a phone call from a faculty member in my genre last week. There was no pre-admittance interview this year. It sounds like 5 have been accepted in each genre. I hope this helps!

I also have heard nothing and am also curious at what point it is acceptable, if at all, to email them and ask about response time.

All thee schools - Minnesota Mankato, Hollins, NC Wilmington - offer my full funding, but Hollins is 2 years the other two are three years long. I just wish I had some info on the programs themselves. I know NC Wilmington has a reputation for being innovative, Minnesota Mankato is mentioned in the "top 25 underrated programs" and they seem super nice, and Hollins used to be great, now that seems uncertain. My primary concerns are quality and funding - latter is similar with all three.
