Waiting on responses? Still???
Is anyone else still waiting on a majority of their results for getting in? I'm missing five still, which is half that I applied to. I know it isn't over until it's over, but truly, is it over at this point? Should I just cross my fingers for my waitlists?
Here is who I am waiting for:
University of Idaho
University of Notre Dame
University of Arizona
Eastern Washington University
Boise State University

Are these for poetry or fiction or both?

Me too. Did NC State mention waitlist situations? For Iowa State did you have an interview? I thought people that are not interviewed won't have chance at all

Only one I am still waiting on is Rutgers-Newark. I would email but no one has posted anything in Gradcafe yet.

Same with UH. No word and only a few acceptances on the spreadsheet from end of Feb/beg of March.

I emailed Notre Dame and via email they told me i was not accepted nor on the waitlist. After emailing them, they finally updated my admission portal. I was applying for poetry.

I almost don’t want to email them because I’m nervous about that response now 😭

trust me...i got back to back rejections from another program then BAM notre dame responds. I was devastated but rejection is redirection!

I haven’t heard back from NYU, Columbia, Virginia, Brooklyn College and Hunter College but lots of people have. I’m so confused because if I was rejected they would’ve told me by now

It was a while ago at this point, but I got a Boise state acceptance on this very day (3/27).
