Email to check portal. Annnnnd that's a wrap. (10 accepted/3 rejected/1 withdrawn)

Rejected off the waitlist for the second year in a row.

Accepted off the waitlist! 3a/3r/0p

I got accepted off the waitlist! Pratt was my top choice so I’ll be contacting other programs to let someone fill my spot. 2r/2a/1p

So I'm not sure if you guys are interested in CSUs, but I received a letter in the mail from CSULB. I am considered an "alternate candidate," which is basically the waitlist. I called the grad office and they gave me little hope of an acceptance. So I guess that wraps up my first season of grad school applications and the results were definitely mediocre. Moving onward now I guess?

I applied to four schools--was rejected to two, waitlisted to one, and accepted to one. About a week before the April 15th deadline, I received a call from my all-time favorite writer who told me I had moved off the waitlist to my top choice. I'm still trying to process it. I am so grateful and am humbled by all the writers who applied to these programs and undoubtedly wield powerful and original voices. I wish everyone the best of luck in their literary endeavors. For those who will not be going to a program, keep your spirits high and remember that there is no *right* way to be a writer. You are all artists, and not getting into a program is not diagnostic of anything. Keep your spirits high and don't let anything or anyone deter you from your passion and purpose. Looking forward to reading your stories and truths.

Finally they had the decency to send a website update email and a generic rejection. I'm so thankful for my 2 acceptances and really appreciate how prompt, kind, and respectful they have been! 2a/8r

After an exceptionally long wait they finally sent a generic rejection email.

April truly is the cruelest month— congrats to all the admits though, I’m glad I even made it on the weekend. Guess it’s time to start on next years applications

And with that, the results are (finally) in.

Is anyone planning on declining Poetry at Michener? I know this is low-key desperate but this wait is killing me :/

Finally!

Got the email yesterday informing me of acceptance with a teaching assistantship. Thrilled, as I was originally placed on the waitlist in February.

Rejected from the waitlist with a form letter suggesting I apply again. I had assumed this outcome given how late in the game it is.

Anyone on the Poetry waitlist for NYU heard back yet? I feel like a sinking ship

Was initially waitlisted in March and received a final rejection email this morning. Still waiting to hear back from NYU as to whether or not I'm off the waitlist. I got rejected from all the other schools I applied to (Brown, Michigan, Cornell, UCI) so if I don't get into NYU, that's it. Feeling pretty down.

Had to call to get my answer. Pam was very kind, but it's a huge bummer. If you haven't heard back, she said there are a few spots left but they are un-funded. Very, very sad to be rejected, but this is a great school. Congratulations to those who were accepted. I'm relieved to say I've made my selection and won't have to worry about this whole process anymore. Good luck to anyone still waiting!

Received e-mail to check portal. Final rejection for the season. I won't be taking my one and only offer since they couldn't guarantee funding. Sailing on until next year. 1a/0w/9r/0p

I was on the waitlist until today. The offer came with no funding and no tuition waiver. Unfortunately I can't afford to pay for the program, so I reluctantly declined. Congratulations to those accepted with funding!
