Accepted for nonfiction. Elated.

Email from Director

Rejection went straight to spam folder, disappointed but not surprised. My poetry seems a bit too out there for them. 2a/0w/2r/5p

I thought I got a text, but I was so surprised to find an acceptance email to Hollins. Hard work sometimes pays off!

Waitlisted for CNF, and was not told how many were on the waitlist. Anybody who was accepted and planning on not attending?

I almost cried when I got the call! Funding TBA, will determine whether I go for sure. 1a/1r/6p

I'd been stalking this forum without posting like it was an ex's IG/FB account, since my first four decisions were rejections. But now that I've received an acceptance, I'm happy to share... (I'm resisting the impulse to impart the same encouraging words that others posted and made me want to set fire to my laptop; but, you know, chins up...) 1a/0w/4r/8p

3a, 4r, 8p likely to go here. Fingers crossed re: funding!

my first acceptance and one of my top programs!! honestly floored. no funding/assitantships, email was pretty straight up about the availability being limited and unlikely. applied knowing this, so still very excited. 1a/0w/1r/7p

So unbelievably surprised!

Folks who have heard from Columbia - was there a change in the status of your application on the admissions portal?

Funding TBD. Excited nonetheless

Really happy. 3 acceptances. Still hearing on 5 more

Dear other CSU poetry acceptance, I hope to see you there.

Just for encouragement to everyone who was rejected by any school. last year I applied to one program and got rejected. This year, I applied to 6 and got into 4 and was rejected by one (1 still pending). Some of The schools I got into are Iowa, Syracuse, and Naropa. Rejection never means you aren’t good, it means the schools that rejected you don’t fit YOUR life. If it was meant to be, it’d happen. Don’t try and force yourself into a school that clearly has no interest in you and what you bring to the table. There are plenty schools who would love to have you, you just have to find them!
