Yass! Looking forward to meeting you! Glad I did, too.

Accepted Iowa’s offer. Good day for someone on Michigan and Brown’s waitlist.

Congrats! And good luck on the funding.

Yeah. Sam said everyone who applies gets it. It’s what tips Iowa over Brown for me right now.

Iowa, ngl. But Brown’s offer is v. attractive.

The Draft group on Facebook has good insight. I don’t think it’s a lost cause. Several people have stories about getting off waitlists. Stay hopeful.

I've heard back from everywhere. Got into Iowa, Michigan and Brown. Rejected from Johns Hopkins and UVA. Was sure going to Iowa was going to be an easy decision. I was wrong.

I'm so sorry. Fingers crossed either VCU or UNLV (preferably both) come with good news.

Oh wow. I'm so sorry about this.

Congrats! Fingers crossed about funding. Whoop!

Brown notifications coming this week, according to Draft ?

Congratulations! ??

Thanks!

Yeah, waiting on JHU, UVA and Brown. Iowa’s my top choice though, so at this point I’m pretty much settled. We were on the phone for over 20 minutes! I could only get a few words in, and the notifications question. She offered to introduce me to the cohort next Tuesday through FaceTime, and said she’ll send me some email addresses so they can talk to me about the program. Iowa was always my top choice, but she really SOLD it to me.

Forgot to add: she said they had over a thousand applications for fiction alone.

*Finally* had my scheduled phone call with Sam Chang. A long call. It's official: I'm in for fiction. I asked if she's done notifying applicants and she said they're a bit behind, with more folks to inform. Looks like more people have good news waiting.

I’m glad you’re feeling better today and really hope you get in someplace you like. Fingers crossed ??

I’m so sorry ❤️ Shit. Was hoping you’d get in! So sorry.

Michigan just came in. I got in. Whew!

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

Nope. Nothing on Michigan yet.

Yeah, waiting to hear from Michigan and a few other places. Been dying of anxiety these past few weeks.

I’m from Nigeria. I’m very nervous. Wondering why she didn’t just call (as in the case of everyone else) but mailed to schedule one instead. Fingers crossed for an acceptance.

Hi guys. Been lurking for the past few weeks and finally decided to chip in. I've felt a kind of kinship reading you guys, and can't wait to meet y'all when the fall session begins. About Iowa, I got a mail from Sam Chang (for fiction) last night asking when I'll be free for a phonecall/Facetime. I'm an international applicant, so last night (23:45 thereabout) should be around evening for you guys (16:45/17:45). I guess that means they aren't done sending acceptances. So be patient, guys. It'll come.
