Hi! I am an international applicant, I applied to the University of Iowa for the Fiction MFA.
I havent had a call or email yet so I'm guessing I have been rejected; I checked in with Deb West but got what I assume is a generic response saying the decision letters had been mailed already. As far as I can tell, based on this thread, if I am waiting for a snail mail letter, I am waiting for a rejection.
However, international post has never been quick even at the best of times, and post-pandemic its been quite a mess in my country. I dont anticipate I will receive the letter anytime soon (I find it hard to believe they'd send a rejection letter by FedEx or whatever lol). MyUI also still says "In Progress."
My question is: have any international applicants received their rejections (or their acceptances, for that matter) yet?
I have this tiny (naive, delusional, optimistic, idk) sliver of hope that maybe international applicants are notified later, and maybe I still have a chance of being accepted. lol.
I havent seen any international people reporting their results on GradCafe (I am not on FB so can't see Draft).
Does anyone here know how this works?
