Accepted in March to MFA but had no funding. On 4/7, waitlisted for TLF (20% tuition scholarship). They can't tell me until August 1 if I'll come off it or not... I will be declining. I can't (and nobody should) wait that long.

last rejection of this cycle for me. it be like that

No idea about funding yet, but this is my first acceptance after 8 straight rejections so I'm at least happy about that!

Brief email

Email to check portal. For speculative fiction.

Received the call from Prof. Vollmer on the night of 27th from a different time zone. He said kindly that he had enjoyed reading my story, which felt like a dream (and an encouraging reality). The application process and admission were smooth, attentive, and non-intrusive during these times of stress for applicants. The timeline of events really matched what was stated in the generic confirmation email I received after submitting my application. (On a side note, I have never experienced a better IT system than what they run at VT, truly state-of-the-art.)

sent email to check portal on decision status. my top school, but it'll be okay :)

Got an email that I'm a finalist!

Out of field applicant (BA in film production) accepted with Emerson Encore scholarship!
