Wow. I am ecstatic and so grateful. If you're accepted and not going, please be courteous and let the University know asap; this is my dream school and would love to get this opportunity. Otherwise, congrats to everyone else given a shot! 0a/3r/1w/1p

I feel like I needed this — even if I'm just on the waitlist. Hopefully there will be some movement! 0a/5r/1w/5p

Called the office of the Writing Seminars, gave them my last name, and was told I wasn’t on the acceptance/waitlist list. 0a/4r/2p

Accepted with a fellowship :D

3a/3r/1w/1p Acceptance and Lambda Literary scholarship. I screamed and threw my phone when I saw the Lambda part. My phone is fine but the lady who was browsing the paper towels down the aisle for me may not be.

"You should, however, consider this as your official notification that your application to Oregon State University has not been accepted" Considering responding with an offer to write a more grammatically correct and less awful rejection letter 2a/3r/1w/2p

the letter said the wait list is short

Handwritten: Thanks for your application. -S :/

Phone call from Gerri Brightwell yesterday. I am in but at the top of the waitlist for a TAship. SO. CLOSE. 1a/4w/3r/4p

Email to check portal. Same rejection letter as the New Writers version. Not surprised. Wish I had applied to some less competitive schools: like UTEP, Emerson, George Mason. The 27.5k for 3 yrs funding sounded so awesome.

Got a phone call from Kevin and was offered a TA.

Saw an incoming call from Iowa City in the middle of a work meeting. Walked out with no explanation. It was John D'Agata. Paranoid that at any moment I'll wake up from this dream.

Automated email telling me to check the website.
