Just looking for anyone to shout into the void with! I heard that fiction and nonfiction folks received calls the past few days. Don't know what that means for other disciplines within the Creative Writing and Writing for the Performing Arts umbrella. Anybody else who applied, have you heard back yet?
According to someone from MFA Draft (current student, I believe), the last time she talked to their professors, they were still reading and deciding.
Also, a quote from her, "I'm not entirely sure, but I'd imagine they'll go out at slightly different times just because the calls are done by different people. Reza Aslsn for fiction/poetry/cnf and I believe Rickerby Hinds for screenwriting and playwriting."
 
Wow! Congratulations to you.

I haven't heard anything yet.

Did your application status on your portal change or it's still "Awaiting Decision"?
thanks!! :) it still stays awaiting decision. I was originally waiting to post until there's a more official update, but it seems like it may take them some time to send followup emails/portal updates?
 
Hello, has anyone received any updates to their portal yet? I mean in the second week of May is NUTS lol...I hope I'm not the only one going through this.
 
It’s obvious at this point that they snub you if you’re it accepted. After emailing them for weeks, they finally sent an email of rejection last week.
Whoaaaa, please don't get my hopes up like this LMAO. No, but seriously, thanks for the response, and this has given me a little sliver of hope, so thank you so much for that!
