Noticed people getting acceptance calls today from Oregon state - congrats if you’re one of those!! I happened to miss a call with a 208 area code (am currently living outside the US) and was wondering if it might be related… very possibly a big stretch but if anyone has insight it’d be so appreciated <3!

Hey congrats on the Iowa acceptance! I was also waitlisted at Pitt for poetry and completely relate when it comes to interviews... I get awful anxiety about those sorts of things & kind of just blanked out for those 15 minutes ?if I were to do it again I think I'd honestly try to prepare/obsess about it less. Anyways, wish you the best of luck with your ND interview and congrats again, what exciting news!

Hi everyone - hope all are hanging in there & taking care as updates from schools trickle in. I was wondering if anyone might have some advice. Two days ago, I noticed one of my letter writers did not submit her letter to Iowa or Vanderbilt, which were due December 15th. I sent her countless reminders in the weeks and days leading up to the deadline, and she said she submitted the letter (which she did to my 10 other schools, some of which also had December 15th deadlines.) When I emailed her this week, she said she "thought she submitted it." I resent her the links and asked her to confirm that she received them and was able to upload the letter. Now I'm getting radio silence from her and the portals still say they are "awaiting" her letter. Feeling anxious & honestly upset by her lack of organization and communication, especially since she encouraged me to apply. Not sure if I should reach out to the schools or just give up (Iowa & Vanderbilt were a reach, anyways.)
