Graduate School Admission Results

the letter said the wait list is short

I'm so excited!

Seems like great low-res program.

To piggy back off the poster below, I'm also waiting for Hunter and Brooklyn College's fiction results. Anybody know if they have sent out acceptances? Unlike the poster below, however, I do not have another program breathing down my neck. It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.

woo hoo!

declined. Vivian Gornick "I think the writing programs are illegitimate. Because they are a cash cow, because they are indiscriminate in their admissions, because they need to constantly keep feeding themselves with mobs of people who are either mediocre or less. There are a few people who are so bad you don’t know how on earth they got in at the other end.

Expected. Me dunz: 2a/0w/10r. Tbh, I made errors on 10 out of the 12 manuscripts that I sent in (not that I didn't read then reread the stories--because I did, so many times--but you know how those tricky extra words sneak in....). Take a guess which programs accepted me. I don't know if this means I would have a better shot next year if I made 100% sure my manuscripts were error-free, but for all others out there who maybe made mistakes on their apps, know it's not just you. It's me too (sobs 4 days).

Finally heard a "no" from NYU waitlist. Final tally 3a/4r/1w-that-became-a-r.

First school I've heard back from. Full funding guaranteed the second and third year. First year is half tuition remission and a smaller stipend. 1a/0r/0w

Lovely conversation with Robin. So happy about this!

Was accepted a few weeks ago. I accepted the offer this week.
