God, I wish they would just send me the rejections already. Waiting for a rejection when you know all the acceptances have gone out is so crappy. Send 'em on out, people, I ain't scared! (But, I would like to get on with my life)

I think it's all very subjective and in some cases a big ole crapshoot, haha! But, it is rather fun to be a part of it. Hopefully, we all get accepted into a program of our choice at some point this year or in the years after. I think everyone on MFA admissions committees/teams have very tired eyes from reading, reading and more reading..man, it must be so much reading.

Congrats on the Iowa acceptance, theretheirthey're! I wish I had your problem, though ;-) I applied to ten schools and so far I have 3 rejections, 3 presumed rejections and no hope for an acceptance at the rest. But, I applied to some competitive programs so maybe next year with some revision :-) Iowa does seem very competitive and someone earlier today even described it as "cutthroat." You should choose the program that feels like a good fit for you personally. It sounds like you are mega talented, though, and could compete fairly well with the "cutthroats" if that is what you choose to do. Congrats, again! And good luck in the fall wherever you end up going :-)
