Rejected off of the waitlist. Still waiting to hear from Saint Mary's and still on one other waitlist. Crossing my fingers.

To the UCR poster below, I never heard anything so I emailed Bryan B. yesterday to put my mind at ease and confirm rejection. He said faculty had made their decisions and "You will receive an official email notification from our Graduate Division in the coming weeks. It can take them some time to process those notifications." So, I would assume if you didn't hear, then it's a rejection across genres.

I reported this yesterday without "UIC" in the school name. I'm reporting again for those keeping up since I had a hard time finding it. I was waitlisted on 4/5. I received an acceptance email on 4/9. I accepted 4/10. This is the same acceptance reported yesterday with 95% chance of accepting seat.

So Rutgers has not called or emailed me...but I logged into the portal today and saw a "Your application has been reviewed, and the Committee has denied admission." If you're waiting for Rutgers, check your portals. I really must suck because this is my second year trying to get into grad school and failing. I have left is mediocre, totally unranked programs that don't offer a single scholarship. 0a/6r/0w/2p

Accepted off the waitlist--I am accepting it. I will be removing myself from the waitlists at Virginia Commonwealth and Western Michigan, as well as turning down my acceptances at Utah (no funding) and Mankato (with TAship). This is the end for me--you guys have been at times my sanity and at times my insanity. Thank you and good luck, everyone.

Has anyone on the NYU waitlist been offered a spot? I see that some accepted spots have declined the offer.

I got in off of the waitlist. I think I was the first one, and they said they had one person accept the offer, one person decline, and two who they hadn't from in their original crop of offers.

I was actually accepted but I am choosing to go to a much smaller school. I haven’t heard anything after I declined the offer and I’m hoping that someone else will get my spot, it’s not like they don’t have enough people applying there. Also Syracuse and Naropa waitlisted people for poetry should be hearing back soon I hope. Hope this helps and best of luck again!

Well, OSU's low residency program is fairly new (est. in 2013) so it seems like it doesn't get nearly as much attention as the full residency program. Bend is lovely so those who were rejected from the Corvallis campus should consider it (I lived in Corvallis for a year and would probably prefer Bend, just saying). They extended the application date even further so they may not have gotten too many applications this year. If you are in dire straits, you should definitely apply to OSU-Cascades!!! My acceptance e-mail was extremely flattering and I feel a bit bad that I already accepted an offer elsewhere, but I truly don't think the low-residency option is for me, and I've always hoped to continue my education in NYC rather than the west coast, where I've lived all my life. Here's hoping my slot goes to someone here who may have lost hope! You still have a shot, believe me. Plus, T. Geronimo Johnson is awesome and I'm sure would be a great instructor to have.

Boston sent me three rejection emails. I guess I didn’t get in but can’t be sure. Need more emails to confirm. 0a/ 7r/ 1p I may have overused the term “stink-butt” in my sample, statemants, and transcripts.
