I just heard from my last school. I’m on the waitlist at Arizona State, which just created another one of those, oh YAY I don’t COMPLETELY suck…but huh…what now? moments.
I replied to their nice email (in which I was told the poetry faculty really liked my creative work) thanking them and asking if they thought I should wait around for any news before April 15, and if accepted people receive funding and/or out-of-state tuition waivers. Like everyone else in this economy, they said they’re experiencing budget cuts.
And then I emailed Arkansas asking for the same update from them.
So, I’m back to where I was – no firm funding offers for my few firm acceptances, and no firm status on my waitlists. BUT, there’s still the possibility that I may get a job at UNCG – it’s just that they haven’t called me for an interview yet and it could be one of those things that doesn’t come thru until after April 15.
Speaking of April 15, that’s um, 8 days away!
It seems everyone is trying to make it as exciting as possible for you!
hehe, yeah, I’m a roller coaster over here!
