emburst--I'm planning to visit my acceptance schools within driving distance

no lies here! promise! as far as when iowa notifies people, it's possible that it may take certain programs a bit of time to figure out who gets what as far as ta positions, research assistantships, etc.? just guessing.

Bug128: not sure. i received a phone call last friday.

thanks so much! this is helpful to discuss, as I applied on whim and never thought iowa would even be an option. best of luck to everyone!

I was accepted to iowa for poetry and while I'm super excited, I'm also scared that the program won't be as supportive as some of the other, smaller-cohort programs I've been accepted to.

just putting it out there: how competitive do you think iowa is internally? do you think students support one another or is it pretty cutthroat?
