Hi y'all! Hope you're all well and sane-adjacent.
Idk if any of you remember, but I lurked here a lot last year. Everyone was super nice and helpful and this community really helped me get through an incredibly stressful application period. Thanks ❤️
I'm in the Nonfiction Writing Program at Iowa now, and would love to help others and pay it forward??  I thought I could answer questions about the program, and possibly look over materials if anyone wants More specifically, I'm also trans and an international student, so if any of you need help in those areas hmu.
I don't check here often so feel free to just email me!

Good luck this week, friends

Currently in a nasty loop of refreshing email --> refreshing this thread --> refreshing the results page --> repeat

Just saw the first notification for Hollins *shivers*

I just get in the Draft but stop reading the posts after 30 secs haha. Just outside my window the entroido (carnaval) is happening right now in Spain. Well all I can do is to leave all behind. 'Tráeme el alcohol que quita el dolor. Hoy vamos a juntar la luna y el sol'. they're playing Subeme la radio haha. I think it's best to go with Spanish spirit. =))

Literally JUST saw that they started notifying via Draft. Fingers crossed for both of us!

Woo!!! Congrats I’d say that’s a very good indication! 
 
and yes! I’m so excited to meet others going the same place as me!

I got an email from John D'Agata asking to schedule a phone call. I'm assuming (hoping) that it's good news!
I don't think Iowa NWP does interviews or calls waitlisters, right?
(Adding: it makes sense that he would email me b/c my American phone is offline, lol)
 

Hey congratulations! All your hard work is paying off

Congratulations! Got the same mail (from Sam Chang though) and been anxious as hell. But fingers crossed it’s great news.

Holy crap!! I thought so but I.. wasn't sure? I was definitely waiting for someone to validate it for me lol. Holy crap!
Guess I might see you and @Yesgirlstoo there then? ?

That would be so cool, we should!!! go celebrate, you've done it!

Yeah, I’m attempting to construct a complete timeline for the novel I’m writing and my brain is melting. I gotta admire all the fiction writers who want to write a novel.

Thank you so much @Ydrl.....! I haven't told anyone in real life that I was applying (except for my kind recommenders) and this has been my support group, essentially!

I would totally go into publishing and found a new magazine with anyone here.

Hi all! I know we're all pretty anxious - or at least I am - hang in there!!
I wanted to share some good news: I just got accepted to Florida State University.
I talked to Mark Winegardner on the phone, he said that they're contacting accepted applicants and hope to send out a formal email by the end of the week.
Has anyone here applied there? Do you have any info on the program? Rankings? Crossing my fingers for everyone!!
Also FWIW it's not one of my top choice programs (I prefer a 2-year MFA) so there's a good chance for waitlisters. I'll be sure to let FSU know as soon as I see what my options are.
Really rooting for everyone, this process sucks so forking much

Looks like WUSTL waitlists are going out.

Sounds super cool, thanks for the rec!
I'm hoping to go see Jojo Rabbit today, if I actually manage to get rid of my migraine in time for the movie....

Since there aren't any waitlisted posts on the results board, I'd say it's possible...good luck ! 

Fingers crossed! I'm waiting for them too. It was kind of a long shot cause I sent them (and Iowa) an earlier draft of my Writing Sample, but still... Bummer
