Email to check the portal. Feeling numb at this point.

Automated rejection email! Still very polite, though-- congratulations to everyone who got in!!!! 0a/1r/1w/5p

Received a rejection notification from Sean Bishop around noon on Tuesday. Mind you, I was in my capstone fiction workshop class when I got the notification and I was HURT! Received some great news later that day though. Best of luck writers. This isn't the end, just a moment in our lives. 1a/1w/2r/5p

Received an email from someone in the English Department notifying me that I am on the waitlist. They enjoyed my sample and mentioned that I had a strong recommendation. Very grateful this application season. Best of luck writers. 1a/1w/2r/5p

Call from the program director around 3:00pm CST. Was not expecting an acceptance this first go round because I'm a graduating senior and was on the heels of a rejection from UW Madison just three hours prior. Nonetheless, grateful to be admitted this first time around and FULLY FUNDED. Best of luck to you all.

Received a kind email from Michael Jayme

Strange vibes from this program.

So thrilled! Love the program. No info given about waitlist length.

Definitely put a smile on my face to get some positive feedback! 0a/1w/3r/6p

0a/0w/2r/4p Form letter. Only accepted 5 fiction writers. My Quentin Coldwater/Chosen One Complex's teeth are being knocked out, one punch at a time. Put up your dukes, Hopkins.

Portals. So many portals. 0a/5r/1w/15p

Email from graduate student advisor. Huzzah!
