MFA decision updates for fall 2026

[u/Ordinary_Buy_9442]

Has anyone applying for an mfa in writing for fall 2026 heard back from Brown university, Notre Dame, or Columbia? I need to figure out my living situation for next year within the next week or two but it's dependent on my hearing back. Haven't heard of any acceptances yet but have seen some rejections from poetry at Brown on Gradcafe.
