It would include the MA :). I'll tell you if they say something

I already turned down Iowa's offer days ago! It wouldn't be nice to keep them waiting if they have a long waitlist... I hope BU says something soon...I want to know.

I did and I am just too confused: I wrote to 3 programs directors. The first one was Boston College: got accepted and didn't knew because postal service in my country sucks. The second one is the one that has me feeling anxious: I wrote to the director of BU Romances Studies to know if the had already send admissions for their Ph.D program (to see if I should give up hope) and I got a mail from the administrative assistant telling me that my application was still on consideration and asking me to be patient and wait a little more for an answer. I know that BU has already send admission letters to other people for that Ph.D. Does this means I am on a internal waiting list? Should I keep hope? I have a very good offer from BCollege, so in any case I am going to Boston on the fall, but I don't know what to think. BU was my top choice from the beginning so I can't help feeling really anxious. Also, I wrote to U of Toronto director of the Romance L and L for the MA program, but it was a copy-pasted from the one I wrote for BCollege and forgot to change the name of the university. That was two weeks ago, haven't got an answer.

I know that BU has already send admission letters to other people for the same program I applied to. Does this means I am on a internal waiting list? Should I keep hope?

Got the rejection from Cornell as expected...

So I am confused.

It is!!!

I got accepted at Boston College!!!!

I understand what you are feeling: I am a 23, I just graduated from my undergrad program this week. My whole life I've been living with my mother, even during university because we live in a big city and I studied here. It looks like I am goin to Iowa City this fall (if no other offers come soon) and I don't know a single person there. I am not from the states, my first language is not English (I learned English when I was 14, after learning French, so is not my second either) and I am used to a tropical weather, so I am very nervous of moving out... I think this is normal. We will be fine!

Yes! After only getting bad news for a while I got accepted in Iowa for the Creative Writings MFA in Spanish. I think it is not the same as the Creative Workshop, but it is also very known and lots of good Latin American and Spanish young writers I have read are Iowa graduates. It is not my first choice, but for now it looks like it is the only one I have (a very good one). My boyfriend is at Harvard and I wanted to be close to him, but I guess we will figure it out. If I don't hear back from the other programs I applied to by next week, I will accept the offer from Iowa :).

!!!! Congratulations

This is what I needed tonight. Thank you for writing this.

Thank you so much for this
