if iowa mailed out poetry decisions yesterday, has anyone checked the portal? mine still says "in progress"....

re iowa from one of my reccs who went there recently - Iowa is unpredictable; it's possible you're on the waitlist or that they're just sending out notification slowly. I'd give it a few more weeks and see how things shake out before you despair i have an mfa from the "top" grad program in visual art, notified in late march more than a month after i interviewed, also got into a couple other equally competitive programs. i'm certain my application then was absolute garbage, esp compared to my writing work i applied with this cycle, but i did have recs connected to faculty in each school i was accepted to. it's not a fair process that makes sense. i kinda wish gradcafe and draft didnt exist, its kinda detrimental to yr mental health and confidence as an artist to place value/spend time/energy on anything except yr writing or yr real life. please everyone take care of yourselvesssssss - this is all kinda fucked ❤️

hmm i think no news is better news... from experience, i actually have an mfa in something else lol fml

still have not heard from wash u
