To the U.A. poster below, I feel your pain. I was informed in early March that my app was referred to the department for review. No word since, even after e-mailing the program director. Anything can happen, still, I guess, but I doubt they would wait this long to get in touch if they wanted me. Onward and upward.

Has anyone heard anything? Waiting for a rejection. It's April 5th for the love of all that's holy.

Checked portal and saw letter. 3a/0w/9r/0p. Now it's decision time!

Just now finally got the official email rejection.

Accepted off the waitlist. 3a/1r

Admitted off the fiction wait list after sending an eager email last week. Planning to accept the offer.

Has anyone else heard anything from SDSU? I called about a week ago and they said they hadn't sent all acceptances out yet, but I was curious if anyone else was in the same boat.

1a/1w/5r

Oh well! About to accept an offer from a school I love, so this is the first rejection that didn't really sting. 2a/3w/6r, 1 still pending (where ARE you Indiana?)

Just declined admission. Expect some movement on the waitlist! Good luck to everyone!

Received a generic "status change" email. Pleasantly surprised that I was accepted!

Rejected from 11 top, fully-funded schools and done for my first season. It's a terribly hard industry, and I'll tell you what I tell my students: rejection has happened (and will continue to happen) to (almost) anybody who was ever been anybody. Hell, Harper Lee received her biggest rejection just before she died from a lot of her own fans, and nearly every critic who had just prior sung her praises. If there are any slightly younger writers wrapping up their B.A. degree with nowhere to go next year, this industry might take you time, but you can do it. I have spent 4 years as a public school teacher at a Title 1 school placed by Teach for America, and I'm a graduate of UC Berkeley and former Daily Californian journalist. Sometimes it still doesn't add up and as a writer you just have to try another way. And I'm advising myself, here, too. (Sorry for how long this got.)

Email with attached letter.

Contacted by phone and told that I'd be contacted when more is known about funding.

Contacted separately about TA position.

Received an email and letter. Told I would hear back, likely after April 15th.

Was in my spam folder, so all others make sure to check there. Congrats to all who got in. Can't wait to read the next Michael Chabon :)

To the poster below, I am also on the wait list and I haven't heard anything.

Email with decision letter attached. 3a/0w/8r/1p.
