Key:
CNF = Creative Non-fiction notification
D = Dramatic writing
E = English (general) notification*
F = Fiction notification
M = Memoir
NF = Non-fiction notification
P = Poetry notification
PL = Playwriting notification
PR = Prose notification
S = Screenwriting
T = Translation
YA = Fiction for Young Adults/Children notification
* Used where poster does not specify "English," "English with creative dissertation" or "creative writing" for a PhD. response. This notification will be changed when clarification is received.
e = E-mail notification.
m = Mail notification.
p = Phone notification.
w = Website notification (from program website).
* = Notification method unknown.
? = Genre or method of notification is unknown.
For each MFA program listed below, I've listed all available application response data from 2006 through 2008, to include (in the order in which it appears in the listing): school; 2006 response dates (genre/method); 2007 response dates (genre/method); 2008 response dates (genre/method). Please note that only the first known acceptances are listed here. Generally speaking, genres for acceptances were not compiled in 2006, so in most cases the only available information for each school is the date of its first acceptance (in any genre), with method of notification.
Where a program is a PhD.-only, fellowship-only, M.A., or low-residency program, that has been noted next to the name of the school (in parentheses).
NB: If, in the past, a school notified for multiple genres on a single day, that is noted as follows (immediately after the method of notification): "P, F, NF" (i.e., this would be for a school which notified in poetry, fiction, and non-fiction all on the same day).

«Oldest ‹Older 1 – 200 of 5217 Newer› Newest»Seth, I love you for this. Honestly.
Let the nail-biting begin!
I just wanted to note that we have only now reached the first notification date from last year, which was the earliest reported acceptance documented on this blog. The waiting only REALLY begins now.
Dear Seth,
Could you also add Ole Miss to the list?
Thanks!
How about University of Texas MA?
In case you didn't see it, someone posted an acceptance today in fiction to UC Riverside deep in the comments on the Kealey blog. :)
Yikes! I thought I had more time to not worry about going 0-for-6!
Also, you updated on the 20th, which was a Tuesday, but the updated stamp at the top says Sunday. Thanks so much for you all you do! I'll be PayPaling for certain and sure.
Seth, I seriously owe you my mental well being for doing this. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
OMG OMG!!! (G stands for goodness) I cant believe its time already!!!!! Boy oh boy
*fainting*
Somone just got a poetry acceptance at Alabama today, via telephone!
It...continues!
I got into American University for fiction. They informed me by mail.
Oh dear, oh dear. I'm going to be a wreck until April 15, I'm sure.
Congrats, Banana. I applied for the same program! Fretting!
John, thanks! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!
Man, this is now entirely stressing me out, I hate waiting..
Someone just posted a second Bama poetry acceptance at the Speakeasy.
Alabama just notified me of my acceptance by phone!
Pardon, that's for Poetry.
Seth, to thank you for doing all of this I just made a contribution via Paypal, and I wanted to encourage everyone else to do so also.
Could the University of British Columbia - Vancouver be added, please?
Alabama notified me for poetry today (1/22) as well- via phone and email. This is months before I'd hoped to hear from anyone!
Hey Seth, between yours, Tom Kealey's, and Erika Dreifus' blogs, this entire process has been made much easier on all of us. I'm happy to donate.
sidenote:
Why is there no data for Texas-Austin?
~chidelia
Hi Chidelia,
Thank you so much for donating! To answer your question, there is data for the MFA program, just not for the MA program. So you might have been looking at the MA program; if you look again, the MFA program data for Texas is on the line right above the MA non-data. Best wishes, and best of luck,
Seth
P.S. Originally I hadn't added the Texas M.A., precisely to avoid this kind of confusion, but someone asked me to add it, and I try to be accommodating, so... :-)
Hi there,
Phone acceptance from U. of Minnesota-Minneapolis for poetry today, 1/23/09.
Amir--
Oh my oh my. CONGRATS. I am dying to receive a similar phone call.
Good luck to everyone!!
Phone call acceptance for fiction at Memphis.
They seem to be rolling in, now. Good luck to all and congratulations on those that have received notices of acceptance.
Alabama fiction acceptance reported, phone and email, 1/21 (from the Kealey blog)
Hey Banana:
If you're still around, when did you apply for American? Occurred to me that they do rolling admissions, so that might be good to know.
This stress is brutal! From the past notification dates, March is going to be the worst month of my life...
John--I applied in September and found out in November. So, don't stress..I was an early bird. I still haven't found out about funding from them yet--only that I got in.
i love this blog, but it is making a mad woman out of me! i suppose i will continue to obsessively check for updates until early march. but - regardless of this blog's effect on my mental state - thank you!
What's the source on the Greensboro notification? Private e-mail?
Hi there Rachel,
Yes. One of the nice things about TSE--I mean, which makes it more than just a repository for information already available elsewhere, and instead (I hope) an actual service--is that because folks know my level of interest in/experience writing about MFAs, I do often get private e-mails from applicants. Particularly during application season--which is wonderful, as I'm always thrilled to hear about folks' successes directly/personally. (Of course, I also probably check more MFA boards, and do so more regularly [the MFA Blog, thegradcafe.com, P&W, yuster.com, &c] than just about anyone--again in the hope of making this, like the TSE rankings, a service not available elsewhere). Best of luck,
Seth
If anything, this shows us that we can't trust the notification dates from last year as an indicator for this year. It looks like all the schools that are starting to notify now did so waaay later in previous years.
Personally, I find it all very unsettling for my delicate psyche.
Could this have something to do with earlier application deadlines? I believe several schools pushed them up this year.
Good point re: earlier application dates -- I don't know whether Notre Dame's dates changed from 2008 to 2009, but I'm pretty sure that they used to be early Feb a couple of years ago (rather than 2 Jan this year). So while the data bank is extremely useful, we certainly should keep in mind that due dates might have changed over the years.
Good luck to all!
Hi all, just wanted to let you know that I'm in at Alabama. Found out about an hour ago. Thanks for the support/commiseration/encouragement! Good luck, everyone!
Congrats, Rachel!!
Congrats, Rachel!
Congratulations, Rachel!
I think I posted this on another part--UBC-Vancouver just sent out acceptances today! Just found out an hour ago. =)
Congrats, Lindsay. How did you find out? Phone, e-mail?
Jenna,
I received an email from UBC. They should notify everyone by Jan. 30. Apparently, they don't judge by genre, but by the three-genre requirement. :S
Good luck!!
Got an acceptance by mail from Chatham for nonfiction. I'm out of the country and my roommate notified me, so it could have arrived a few days ago.
Subscribing.
Florida State University acceptance in poetry, 1/24, via phone.
[Private correspondence].
-- S.
For folks who applied to the University of Minnesota: If the U of M contacted accepted applicants on January 23, does that mean those who weren't contacted are rejected? Any thoughts?
Ameel-
I believe Minnesota notified those who are eligible for fellowships on the 23rd (which apparently are those with stellar GPAs/GRE scores or those eligible for minority fellowships.)
From what's been said on these boards, I believe regular acceptances have yet to go out.
Or at least that's what I'm telling myself.
I heard from Alabama yesterday by phone/email. In for fiction. Good luck everyone!
i've been wondering that about uncg. think no email means time to scratch that one off the list? i think i'd prefer a rejection than clinging to hope.
leslie (and everybody anxiously wondering the same thing): i work in a graduate program office (not for creative writing), and i'd like to share a couple pearls of "insider" info about graduate admissions that will hopefully give everyone some comfort. it ain't over till the fat lady sings! not hearing anything from a school that has begun notifying people means absolutely nothing at this point. why?
1) the phone calls and emails that go out to notify applicants are usually made by faculty members who contact applicants over a span of time. it's not a uniform process. so not getting word on the day, week, or longer that other applicants have begun to hear is not cause to lose hope.
2) schools will notify their top choice candidates first. based on how many of them accept their offer of admission, they may then go to a second round of offers. some schools operate one at a time (one applicant turns them down, they go to the next on the list until they fill their class.) other schools notify in rounds. this means that come mid-April (which i know seems a long, long time off) schools that have under-yielded will contact other applicants that are on a formal or informal wait list to make more offers to fill their class.
3) it ain't over till it's over. really. don't lose heart if you see an acceptance posted for one of your top choice schools and you haven't heard a thing yet. there is nothing cut-and-dry about graduate admissions, so as painful as it may be, remain patient and don't read too much into what anyone else has heard.
good luck to everyone! i myself will try to take my own advice and remain patient. :)
subscribing...
[wow, January is almost over, a butt load of notifications are just around the corner! right? uh huh, yeah]
kit,
thanks for your calming words. im not such an anxious person in regular life, really.
in for poetry at alabama!
ROLL TIDE!
Raina
Wow, congratulations everyone! Such early responses! Not one of my schools has begun to notify yet...
hi leslie,
of course! having this much info available to us is both a blessing (thank you seth) and a curse. i'm ensconced in grad admissions professionally as well as personally at the moment, and it's good to put it all in perspective.
one more thing: while it stings of course to know that you aren't the first person that a school accepts, these programs are tasked with admitting far fewer students than are qualified due to funding constraints and other grad school admissions restrictions. so any offer you get at any point in the game (whether in january or april) is a cause for celebration. a school may not have admitted you first, but they will not admit anyone that they don't want to join their program. fingers crossed for us all...
Acceptances from Spalding and Murray State added (see above).
[Private correspondence].
Best,
Seth
Accepted to Vermont College for non-fiction!!!!!1
Kit, Leslie, and of course, Seth:
This website is a curse. I wake up, I check it. I get to work, I check it. I'm about to leave for lunch and I check it. I come within two feet of a computer and I check it. Instead of looking at porn, I look at this page. Instead of checking to see if I've gone over on a bill, I check this. Instead of eating, I read through comments. When I wake up in the middle of the night to use the restroom, before doing so, I check this page.
I want to stop, and yet I cannot and don't really want to stop.
I mean, I could stop, if I wanted.
Accepted at UNCW for CNF on 1/29 via email!
also, UNCW, non-fiction, e-mail
amish,
i am cursed with a phone with internet.
i check it at stoplights. (dont tell anyone.)
one more acceptance to UNCW - 1/29/2009 (CNF/e)
Jesus, Leslie: And I though I had a problem.
Well, since it apparently can get worse, I'm not going to worry about it and just keep checking
Is anyone checking the livejournal Who Got In group? I looked at that in 2005, but, eh. I trust Seth A LOT more.
just the long lights. stuck in traffic lights, really.
Woo-hoo! Got into NC @ Wilmington for Poetry
Info for SUNY Stony Brook Southampton?
Does anyone have any experience with being wait listed? Do schools wait list everyone they don't initially accept? Or do they truly only wait list a few people?
Accepted for fiction at vermont college by mail.
I'm so happy that I can add to this list! Accepted to UNC-W for poetry as well! Congratulations everyone!
I'm curious about what's going on at Purdue.
On their website it says they have "ongoing admission", which I've always thought meant "if we see someone we like, we will call them up as soon as we put down their application." Meaning youd think there would be some acceptances posted earlier than other schools who don’t have rolling admission. But how is rolling admission even possible if they, like most other programs, have a predetermined limited number of spots? Do they have another definition if “ongoing admission”? What's up with this?
~chidelia
chidelia,
my sense about Purdue is that they review applications on an ongoing basis as they come in, but they hold off on making final decisions and notifying anyone until they've read all their applications. so it's not "rolling" in the sense that some undergrad institutions are. their process is just different from most places that review all applications together at the same time after the deadline.
you'll find more info on the MFA Blog faculty forum; look to Porter Shreve's post: http://creative-writing-mfa-handbook.blogspot.com/2009/01/mfa-faculty-forum-i.html
Somebody just reported an acceptance to Ohio State by phone over at the Speakeasy.
Hi Seth!
I am in at OSU in poetry, via the telephone (1/30/09 @ 2:40PM WC time)!
TODAY = Better than I expected!
email acceptance to UNCW for fiction!
Seth~
Hey--who heard from Georgia Ph.D.? E-mail? What time? So early!!
THANKS!
Hi there Kristin,
To answer your question, it was private correspondence.
Best,
Seth
how many people do OSU accept? Do we think everyone who's in has heard?
I got accepted at Ohio State last night for poetry by phone!!!
I got a phone call from OSU yesterday. I'm in for Fiction!
i'm in at Indiana University for poetry! i got a phone call from the director this a.m.
A Saturday morning phone call? Interesting, certainly.
Congratulations, Bethany! Not a bad way to start the weekend off. Not bad at all!
I got accepted to Indiana University for fiction. I got the call this morning.!!!
Oh, and duh- Congrats, Bethany! And to you as well, Kurian!
Congrats to all accepted at Indiana!
(Crossing fingers for a Saturday afternoon call...)
Seth,
What caused you to update after 7pm? I don't see anything other than Indiana today.
Amish
Hi Amish,
Texas Tech (private correspondence).
Be well,
Seth
Seth,
Out of curiousity, when did you find out you got in at Iowa last year? How were you notified? And how incredible are the Dey House workshops?
Thanks for all your hard work updating the blog. You rock.
So Ohio State has called all of their fiction people? Or is OSU Oregon State, Molly Mae? I realize that your probably mean Ohio State, but I have to hang on to something here... Oh and I should add: congratulations!
I don't know if Ohio State has called all of their fiction people, but I know they have called at least some of them. I got a call from them for fiction yesterday afternoon.
This is what I know about Ohio State:
The current total size of the three year program is 47 students. Out of that, fifteen are poets. They extended eight offers in poetry. I am not sure how it breaks down otherwise.
I'm hanging on to the hope that the awkward 13 hour time difference has delayed my phone call from Indiana...
~chidelia
Thanks TB and IB. I suppose I'm worried because I put all my literary eggs in one MFA basket, so to speak. My wife got into OSU for biology doc and we're moving to Columbus regardless of whether I get in or not. I'll probably hassle Lee Abbott for some help either way. heh.
Hi Nick-
I really sympathize, because I'm in the same boat: I'm the "trailing" member of an academic couple. So my choice (note the singular) is constrained as well. Best of luck!
Same here- unfortunately, my school was Iowa :). So I've been in exile here since August of 2005. Now I'm applying to tons of MFA programs and not one of those is Iowa. Nothing about the program, I'm just ready to leave this town :)
On Friday night I was accepted by Ohio State for nonfiction.
banana: Congrats on your American acceptance :) September is so early to apply! I applied during my winter break, late December, and have not heard from them or any of my other 4 schools yet.
(Brown, American, Iowa, Michigan, BU)
out of curiosity, do you know when schools send rejection letters/emails? i'm assuming they won't take the time to phone if they're not excited enough about you to accept you... but how soon after the first acceptances can you expect a rejection notification? has anyone here received one yet? thanks!l
My multiple Iowa rejections have all come just after the first of March, if that helps.
So this is where everyone is!
Congrats to all the people who've gotten in somewhere!!
I finally finished my last app this past weekend (Hunter College- I had to coordinate my submissions with my paycheck, my procrastination has a reason ;)
Fingers crossed for everyone. Thank you for doing this Seth!!!
Also, not to be contentious but I called Illinois today (where the wifey got another offer) and they said they don't send out letters for another 6 weeks. They were all very upset that someone said anything about being accepted. Was that a TSE faux pas? I'm pretty new to this whole thing.
Yikes. Don't they know that we all talk about them?
I wonder if that Illinois letter someone received was a fluke? Or a faux acceptance?
Hi all,
The Illinois acceptance was reported via private correspondence, so I won't have anything more to say about it. That person can comment here if s/he wants to.
I'll say, though--as a general comment--that programs often admit one or two persons early, often with an eye toward nominating them for some kind of fellowship or special aid dispensation. It's entirely possible that Illinois has, indeed, notified its first applicant--hence the posting here, which denotes the first reported acceptance from every school, whether or not it is followed hard upon by other acceptances--while still not having notified the bulk of its admittees. That's one (of many reasons) I tell people that the only true "rejection" from a program is getting a written letter on university letter-head. Short of that, anything is possible.
An acceptance listed here does not automatically mean a rejection for anyone else. Anyone else.
Best wishes,
Seth
P.S. I would strongly advise applicants against calling programs to see when/if they're sending out/have sent out acceptances. It will infuriate the programs, quite apart from the sort of infuriation the call referenced above apparently caused.
Hi Seth,
UBC's deadline to accept is March 2, and I'm wondering when would be a good time to contact the other programs? I know most acceptances/rejections come out mid-March to early April. Should I wait until the end of February to begin phoning? I don't want to infuriate program directors and I also want to have as many choices as possible.
Thank you so much for answering our questions!
Just donated! And subscribing!
Subscribing. And thanks for the info on Illinois. This is very much like a spy network.
email acceptance from George Mason 2/3!!!!!!!!
Congrats, Allison. What for?
oh sorry, my mind isn't even working right now!! it's for fiction
I just decided to nix my UBC app (the 3 genres was a stretch for a fiction girl like me anyway) and donate the fee to TSE. Because there's no freakin' way I can write a play when I'm checking this site like a rat on the food pellet lever. Because I love the smell of neuroses in the morning. Actually, in the morning, in the evening, and at suppertime. Congrats to all the UNCG accepts. I'm still holding my breath; I hope I'm not deluded.
Just accepted to Vermont College of Fine Arts (low-residency) by phone. Accepted in both poetry and fiction!
Congrats, Roxa!!
Got into Indiana for fiction on 1/31! got a phone and email message.
Acceptance email from University of Central Florida for Fiction
just got into the university of wyoming for fiction!! phone message followed by email. yikes!
congratulations trout!
Got accepted to George Mason for non-fiction today through an email from the director of the program!!
Anyone heard from American, Iowa, Brown, Michigan, or BU yet? I believe Brown and BU letters/emails/calls won't come until March, but the other schools could be any day now, maybe. 1 person who posted already has been accepted to American for fiction.
hey Seth! (and everyone else)
I just checked my mail and received a letter from the graduate school at UNC Greensboro - I'm in for poetry! the letter was dated Feb. 2, but I just got it. (weird, because I live in NC, and mail doesn't usually take that long.)
anyway, thought i'd let you know! thanks for all you do!
Hey Emily--
congratulations! I applied to UNCG for poetry as well, but haven't received anything. I did get an email about talking with Jim Clark on the phone, but I haven't received the call yet. Did you get one of these mysterious phone calls??
hey Whitney,
yes, I got an email about setting up a time to talk to Jim, to which I replied, and then Jim promptly called. that was 2 weeks ago. Maybe you should call them if you haven't heard back yet? if anything, it would show your interest. and they're really nice, so don't be scared :)
Acceptance today (2/6) via phone for creative nonfiction at Penn State.
I'm not the Whitney from before, but a new and unrelated one! :-) Seth, thank you so much for the hard work! Congrats to all those who have been accepted, and good luck to all those (like me) who are still waiting!
--WR--
I have been lurking and lurking at work, where I can read comments but not leave any...seems high time I participate.
I applied to:
Iowa
WU St. Louis
Amherst
Stonecoast
Will apply:
Warren Wilson
I am really nervous...anything I can worry about, I worry about with gusto. Like everybody here, I want this so much. I do wierd superstitious things. I check here, even though I know (thank you, Seth!) that my schools aren't talking to us about acceptances yet. All of it hurts.
My husband got his degree years ago and is the 'trailing spouse.' He is having a rough time with it, though he has agreed to move (amazing). Anybody else in this situation?
Anyway, good to be here with you guys. Wish I had words of wis' that would help us all get back to enjoying life as we WAIT,,,, but I just have whizzing words. Congrats to all of you who've gotten in! If you have anything to tell us about the other side of this process, please do!
Mcshanna -
I'm not married, but my girlfriend of five years will be moving with me when I start school. Her family and career are in Minnesota, so needless to say, she feels conflicted about all this. But we've both wanted to get out of state for years now, and I made a point of applying to schools located in cities with tons of opportunities for non-students.
Mcshanna & Kurt --
My boyfriend of five years will move with me if I get in. He's a musician, so he will be moving away from his band. He just finished an album, so he's thinking he'll tour this summer. Everything is very uncertain, and we're hoping we can make it work. Good luck to the both of you!
Boy, it's so hard, huh? The big collision. My husband is a new adjunct (the teaching lotto has begun)and to keep the gypsy caravan of it all moving, he'll need a job wherever we go (if we get to go somewhere, if I get in somewhere). All this energy spent--I dearly hope I haven't shaken everything up for nothing. Like everyone else, it's not just me waiting.
Here's hoping, everyone.
Mcshanna,
This waiting IS anxiety creating. I am in a similar, yet opposite predicament. My long time boyfriend lives 1400 miles away and half of the schools I have applied to are closer to him. So we are waiting to see if we can move in together until we hear back from the schools.
Good news though Seth, one of the schools I applied to was FAU, so as soon as I hear from them, I will let you know and possibly you can fill in your empty data spots for FAU.
Wow. I wish there were a way we could all just know what's happening! Good grief! --For me there is so much talk about my getting in or not... and me and my husband typically push it to the hurt point before saying, "Well, guess we don't know yet, guess there's nothing to figure out, not yet..." inevitably pushing just a little tiny bit more into the yeeowch of neurosis.
So uh, well, guess we don't know yet--!
Just got accepted via phone (which went to voice mail) and email to Vermont College (poetry) this morning.
Thanks for the data bank. It takes a bit off the nerves!
Yay! Congrats!
I don't think I was *quite* so nervous until I started reading everyone's posts, up to the day, the minute!
It does feel great to have something so exciting to look forward to. That said, I'll sleep easier when this is all over.
Seth: keep rocking the casbah.
I know, logically, that this website will **never** tell me whether I am accepted to a program, but I still hate the "no-news" days. Oh dear.
Andra,
With AWP coming up this week, I doubt there will be much news
Ugh! I forgot about AWP - good point. I can't decide if this website is making it easier or harder to wait?!
Penn State notified me for fiction today via email.
Congrats savage detective!! Did they say how many people they are accepting this year?
I got a phone call Friday morning (February 6th) from Vanderbilt to say I was accepted into the MFA/Fiction and subsequently have received four lovely emails from faculty--such politeness!
Congrats on Vandy, Rachel! I applied to their poetry program, and I'm auditing a workshop with Mark Jarman (who's visiting my alma mater). Here's hoping I get some good news too!
I'm glad to hear the faculty reached out to you. It's amazing how nice it is to have some personal interaction!
Got my acceptance to American University yesterday (2/9) for Poetry!
So excited!
Stephen, congrats! Did they notify you by phone, email or mail? I applied there for fiction, have not heard anything yet though.
Got notified for American by mail, sorry!
I see you're in Maryland ... hopefully that means I'll get a letter within the next few days, then - I'm in Michigan.
Also, did your status on American's website change? Right now mine just says that applications are being reviewed.
Nothing on the online site changed. Status still says my application was submitted. Hope you get your letter soon!
Rachel,
Congrats on Vandy! I've been trying hard not to pick a favorite, since I'll be happy to get in anywhere, but they definitely are one of my top choices!
congrats, all. nice to see some news before awp.

Wow, the tension! I can't stand it (I will stand it).
I am really really glad to know about the AWP.
Washington U St. Louis hopefuls--they are having an English Dept. colloquium this week, too, FYI.

OMG OMG OMG just got an email from University of Pittsburgh - I'm in for Fiction!!!
(I almost choked on my soup when I opened the email . . .)
I just got an email from Georgia College and State University that they are putting off reading application packets until after AWP.
subscribing
Congrats, Caitlin! That's awesome!
Caitlin:
I'm in for Pitt/Fiction too!!! Feel free to shoot me an email: etussey AT gmail DOT com.
I'm in for Poetry at UPitt! Notified by e-mail as well.
Hola everybody!
Just got accepted to The New School (via phone) and University of Iowa (via snail-mail) in the past 24 hours. Both are for Creative Nonfiction. Neither mentioned funding.... So, that's two down, six to hear from. Aye!
Thanks so much Seth for organizing this forum, and best of luck to everyone!!!
Congrats Menyazavut and WriterChica!!
If it makes anyone feel better: I asked a friend what it means when there is no discussion of funding included in the initial email. She told me that they usually send a follow up letter with those details included, so no mention does not necessarily mean no funding.
Good luck to you all!
This is another Caitlin, also accepted at UPitt for fiction today (what are the chances?). No word on funding though--anyone else?
Heart attack commencement...
1. Anyone else heard from Iowa Writer's Workshop? (In particular, anyone in fiction???)
2. Congrats WriterChica! I'm so jealous!
Gigi -- please don't panic! Creative Nonfiction is TOTALLY separate from the Workshop! They are all the way over in the English Department, and I doubt they receive nearly as many applicants as the Workshop.
Thanks for the kind words everyone. Funding is my utmost concern, so, we'll see what happens....
Wow....congratulations!! Iowa! Already? Have a celebration for all of us!
When I hear someone gets in for Fiction I will officially have an attack.
Snail mail for Iowa? Huh. Interesting! Opens all the possibles wide.
Congrats again!!!
Congrats on Iowa :). I applied for fiction but have not yet heard anything, and my ISIS profile online just says "admission decision in progress" or something like that. Has anyone heard yet for fiction?
(I'm thinking not?)
Hi all,
Just to cut this off at the pass: the Nonfiction and Translation Programs at the University of Iowa are in no way whatsoever associated with or affiliated with the Iowa Writers' Workshop. They are not in the same building. They do not have the same administration. They do not share courses. They are three separate and distinct MFA programs, as distinct as the MFA program at Wisconsin is from the MFA program at Minnesota. There have been absolutely no acceptances to the Iowa Writers' Workshop thus far this year, in either poetry or fiction, so far as I know. I have now added a clarification in the Data Bank, above, to this effect. I take the time to mention this because the IWW received somewhere between 1,200 and 1,500 applications this year, and far and away the highest percentage of applicants (out of the total pool) applied to Iowa, so I don't want a general panic incited here.
Phew. Sorry for the lecture. Best of luck to everyone!
Be well,
Seth
P.S. I'll be in Chicago at the AWP from tomorrow until Saturday night (at least), so I won't be updating the Data Bank during that period, but folks should feel free to post any acceptances here, and I'll add them sometime after I return (i.e., probably either Sunday or Monday).
If Iowa's Nonfiction Program is notifying now, I am officially terrified. Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease let me get in there.
Congrats on the acceptance.
Congratulations, WriterChica!! I applied to Iowa for CNF too. Can I ask where in the country you are? I'm wondering whether I should be holding my breath all the way out here in California. :-x
accepted to university of wyoming for poetry via phone. my hands are shaking.
Has more than one person heard from Vanderbilt? I'm sad about this one...
hi writerchica -
congratulations on your acceptances! do you (or anyone else) know if the new school is doing rolling admissions - considering the extended deadline and all.
I'm waiting to hear from Vanderbilt too. I talked to them last week because there was a problem with my transcripts, they are still reviewing applications. Too soon to be sad!
What Seth said. Not only are they very different programs (studio v. something more training-like and collegial), they look for very different things, and the dynamics, also -- I talked to David Hamilton earlier this year, and I'm not sure it's possible to get further away from, say, Frank's conception of a workshop. I suspect it's not quite Sam Chang's idea, either.
Also, if you don't get in, don't take it as a kick in the gut. I had a full Workshop ride, nice fellowships, etc. Have supported myself & kid as a writer for years, all with various forms of nonfiction. Been rejected once for NF, and would not be surprised to see another rejection. The fashions come and go, that's all.
What I'm hearing from faculty at other schools is that RAships and GAships have been on the chopping block, and TAs are safest, but there's nothing ironclad there. Faculty searches are frozen. Iowa appears to have a hiring freeze (official or not) for admin and support staff, even at the hospital. Faculty everywhere are saying that this is a multiyear issue. So if you're not funded, or not funded adequately, think very hard before accepting in hopes that next year will be better. If it is -- and there's nothing currently pointing in that direction -- it's not likely to be very much better. And looking at the way the comm industry souffle's collapsed (plus what inflated it in the first place) leads me to think that the money is not likely to be there on the other end, either in faculty spots or in publication payments.
I am thinking, too, that the MFA in (type of) writing may turn out to be another fashion victim, like so many other master's degrees, which are generally conceived as cash cows for universities. Frankly, I'd never heard of MFAs for writing 20 years ago. Since then there's been a private-student-loan-fueled explosion of MFA programs, not to mention corporate-debt-fueled publishing ventures, and, well, you see where we are now. The money is already receding and I'm betting that the writing MFA won't look quite so crucial five years, twenty years down the line.
Essentially what I'm saying is that if your school doesn't offer you enough money, really consider just being a writer. Find readers, find teachers, fit your life around writing. Workshops can save you time, but, you know. We managed to accumulate quite a literature without the benefit of university workshops.
Im in at Wyoming with a TA position for NF! Accepted today via phone and email!
Way to go, Emily!
wow, congrats to everyone!
ack, the anxiety!

To Lindsay, who asked about Penn State - I was accepted there for CNF and told they were accepting 6 people (total, across all genres) out of 150 or so. Their biggest applicant pool ever. Their program director told me they had to make "heartbreaking" decisions because the applicant pool was so good. I got in there but have not heard from other schools where people have already been accepted, which (to me) points to the randomness of this whole process: people at one school can love your writing and at another school be indifferent...
Has anyone heard from the U of Minnesota in CNF?? I live in Minneapolis and have a boyfriend of 3 years who cannot move, so I am dying a little every day about this one...
Hola all,
To answer the questions posted to me...
1) I am in South Texas
2) The faculty member who called me about The New School specifically said that they're still going through applications, etc. So please don't worry!
Many thanks to everyone for their kind words. I really wish you the best.

subscribing! and congrats to all new acceptances!!
I was accepted via email by Southern Illinois- Carbondale this morning for Poetry. Good luck everyone!
congrats, unsaid. way to rack em up!
Got phone call acceptance from U South Florida today in fiction. Anyone else?
Thanks kg for your words of encouragement. Congrats on your acceptance and everyone else! I'm compulsively checking email, panicking at missed calls.
Just accepted to Purdue in Poetry. Marianne Boruch called me... and I actually (somewhat) kept my composure! She did mention something about wanting to have my response in two weeks... this is the first program that I've heard from! Congrats on all the other acceptances out there as well!
They want a response in 2 weeks?! Has anyone else gotten an ultimatum like that? I have been accepted at 2 schools but neither has mentioned a timeframe (although I have yet to receive official paperwork from either). If a school gives such an early deadline like that, is it possible to negotiate?
just subscribin' y'all.
The two week ultimatum is making my bullshit alarm go bezerk.
I'd be tempted to make your decision on your time (of course, keeping in mind the April 15 deadline).
But that's just me--uninformed and risky.
It's my understanding that schools can't make you give them your decision before April 15th.
But that's just my understanding.
And I'm not understanding much these days.
On that 2 week decision thing, could it be that they want you to do something in regards to a fellowship nomination in that time? Like the fellowship app is due in 2 weeks so they want you to submit something for it in that time, but your decision doesn't have to come until later. I've seen something like this happen. I also think that some schools may vary on the date you have to reply to be certain of a funding offer. Like they may say, we need your answer by April 1 to guarantee funding. I guess that's so they have time to offer the funding to someone else before April 15.
accepted at penn state today. poetry. phone call. i'm shaking! :)
In for poetry, too, at Southern Illinois. Heard from 2 schools so far.
14 more to go...
