[UPDATE 3/11: not adding a new thread as per mod request. personally, i officially accepted the cornell offer in fiction last week (yay!). please note that the list below is highly incomplete and just based on what i have in my head. i haven't been systematic about all the programs, so look at the comments if you don't see yours.]

Brown - one phoned poetry acceptance reported.
Brooklyn College - someone reported a rejection in fiction.
Columbia - poetry and fiction acceptances and rejections.
Cornell - called acceptees in both fiction and poetry. rejection letters also sent out, but there's no official waiting list so if you haven't received one yet, you might be on it.

George Mason - poetry acceptance.
Hunter - shortlisted students have been notified. acceptances reported.
Iowa - it seems that all notifications have been sent out.
Indiana - poetry acceptance.
Johns Hopkins - rejections reported in fiction and poetry. an acceptance reported in fiction.
Michener Center, UT Austin - phoned acceptances in both fiction and poetry, though not sure if they've informed everyone. also sent waitlist notices (mail or e-mail, not sure). status can be checked online. rejection letters have also been sent out.

USC - no word yet.
UPitt - poetry acceptance.
Utah - called acceptees in fiction. no word on poetry, and also sent rejections.

i have all my fingers and toes crossed for people now. you just never know with michigan... if it's a low-yield year they may just call you out of the blue. i already know two people who are declining, and i'm likely to take myself off the waiting list by the end of march if i haven't heard from them.

I know SLC undergraduate admissions committee doesn't meet until spring break (which starts this Friday for us) for final decisions. (I work in the admissions office as part of my work-study.) The same may be true for graduate, but I can't confirm it. Good luck!

I finally decided to just call Michigan. The acceptance and rejection letters were sent on Monday, so if you've heard nothing like me, hang on. You'll probably have a letter by the end of the week (or beginning of the next, if the mail is slow.)

FYI

Arkansas has a rolling-style admissions process. There's not a uniform decision date--applicants get a letter approximately six weeks after they apply.

Ha ha, seriously. Postal mail is so much more dignified, and so much more proper for the occasion.

Some things are best done the old-fashioned way. And grad school admissions notification is one of them. Grrrrrr.

Anybody figured out what the difference is between "applied" and "pending" on the UMass admissions website? (Mine says the latter, and I'm convinced it's the Admissions Website of Doom telling me to let go of my silly dreams.)

I would like to know the difference too. If there are some people who still have "applied" - maybe "pending" actually means something...

For those of you who received either acceptances or rejections through snail-mail, did the school end up sending it to your permanent or current address? [assuming there is a difference between the two]

Austin: http://bealonghorn.utexas.edu/services/status/

Iowa: isis.uiowa.edu

University of San Francisco: link is ridiculously long, go to http://www.usfca.edu/acadserv/admission/ and click on "Admission Status"

Damn. I was really, really, hoping you'd get in.

Next year. You're in Iowa City for a while, and it's a great city, right?

Maybe you don't want to head down to George's or the Foxhead tonight, tho. Might run into one too many Workshoppers. Ever been to Hilltop? It's great.
