What a generous offer! I was shocked and ecstatic. Knoxville, here I come!

Has anyone been able to figure out how long UVA's poetry waitlist is? Sent an email immediately after getting notified, but have not heard back. Thanks!

I also have an offer from FSU, struggling with a decision but leaning toward FSU. 3a/2r/3p

Emailed the assistant director and was told that all waitlisted and accepted students have been notified for the year. Congratulations to everyone who made it! 0a/4r/1w/0p

Was notified via email that I had been placed on the waitlist. I emailed back to ask when students who have been offered admission are required to accept or reject the offer, but haven't gotten a response yet. I just wish they would confirm one way or another so I can let my other schools know. 3a/2w/0r/1p

Voicemail from Deborah Landau. So bummed I didn't pick-up. Woohoo Paris! 4a/0w/8r/3p

Canadian. Nice (personalized) rejection letter.

Thank you UNM poster. You put my mind at ease!

Hey all!I got accepted to UNM a little while ago, but the office of admissions still hasn't reached me. Has anyone been contacted yet? Should I email the grad supervisor on how to proceed? I don't want to be annoying, but I'm just getting a little anxious. Want to take up their offer already. Thanks.

BU is sending out acceptances this and next week and should be done by end of March or early April but honestly if it wasn't your top choice there is no point in not accepting existing offers. It was my top choice so I notified the one other program I got in to and one waitlisted. Afaik all BU students are fully funded (since someone asked earlier). I would have picked BU over Iowa tbh purely because of location (my girlfriend is studying at MIT). Now we can move in. Wooooooot!

Last of the rejections, 2018; 1a/8r/0w/0p. As for the earlier commentary on Ivies vs. credentials--the only program that accepted me this round was a partially funded Ivy--Columbia...yet, I was rejected from two other Ivies, 4 top programs, and a small low-res. I'm coming with a fresh BA from a middle-of-the-road private school, so you never know! It's a lottery. Haven't decided if I can even go/afford it since, officially, I don't have anything to negotiate with.

Okay, so OF COURSE I have to ask what that "pretty interesting reason" is. If you cannot or prefer not to tell why you became ambivalent about Iowa that is your choice of course, but if you don't mind sharing, please do!

To the poetry waitlist, I plan to attend a different school for some pretty interesting reasons. I was floored at the acceptance but I am sure that ambivalence at such a program would be counterproductive. Keep your head up in hopes of receiving the spot, I plan to let them know within the week or next week. 5a/1r/0w/0p

Informal admission via email. I applied for the MA program- which also focuses on active writing and takes many of the same classes as the MFA, but is shorter.

Email to check portal! I have now been wait listed at five fully funded programs with zero acceptances (1 acceptance to a program without funding but idk if I can make that work). Trying to not feel like a bridesmaid -- I will be praying to Touchdown Jesus tonight.

I saw the notifications on this page today and checked the Rutgers-Camden portal and it said I was accepted! Thing is, I tried to log back in this afternoon and the site wouldn't accept my credentials. I tried calling the office but they're closed. Anyone else have this problem? I'm somewhat convinced the acceptance was in error, especially considering I haven't received a phone call or email.

To the poster below: adding this in since you asked about Gainesville. I was waitlisted back at the end of February, but I know for a fact they have spoken several times by email and phone with those given an initial offer as well as those on the waitlist in recent weeks. Sorry to say, but I'd always rather know than not.
