Earlier this morning, I received an email titled "IWW Update" from Willis, breaking it up from last year's "From IWW". It says, "Your application is still under consideration," which is also different from last year's "You are on the waitlist." I wonder what could it possibly mean.

I was just about to post about this and ask what this means. That's it. I'm done with Iowa. It just feels wrong to get waitlisted twice in a roll.

Yes. one of the two sessions.

OMG huge congratulations! I'm so so happy for you!

I already had an info session with VT, I'm afraid. I believe they've sent out acceptance as well as waitlists.

UVA rejection just out. Real close to the end of the cycle for me now. I'm proud of each and every one of us. We've made it this far.

I guess if anyone declines their fellowship then the pot might be sweetened. I'm just looking into the cost of living in NY and it's a little bit daunting. Chex you can pm me if you want to know more about the details of the funding and moving to NY as an International student. I landed in New York when I was 18, having never been to the States. I only stayed there for a few months, but it was one of my most memorable experiences. I'm praying for you and I hope you get a better deal real soon.

I'm assuming this is for fiction as they're still interviewing poetry applicants? It took me five reads and it was the most stream-of-consciousness rejection I've ever read. Then I found out I missed the attached rejection letter. Oh no Chex, sorry to hear that! NYU is notorious for its ridiculously high tuition...

Congratulations! Looks like we are building up a small NYU community here! A reliable source says they will send out acceptance on 1 March.

Congratulations! That's great news!

Someone I know was offered a place last year. Iowa emailed them to arrange a Zoom call. Also, just received an interview invitation from Notre Dame🥲

Email from Elizabeth Willis on 11 March 2023 (Poetry)

I'm international. Last year I received my waitlist via email. Hope this helps.

I lived in NYC for three months and just felt that the city's filled with creative energy. I agree with you though and it seems easier to focus on work elsewhere. Also, NYU has a very large cohort each year and I'm not sure how I feel about that. I might go and audit one of their classes and see what it's like. Apart from NYU I have a safety offer (only partially funded so...) and a place at VT. The thing is, I'm waitlisted at Michigan and Syracuse, and I've decided to wait for a bit longer and see what happens (again, congratulations on getting into these programs; that shows how brilliant you are). I'm still waiting on a few programs, but I guess only Brown and Iowa are the real options (I've crossed out the Austin programs).

HUGE CONGRATS! Are you planning to go there? Looks like we might be classmates after all? Congratulations on the waitlist! To make it better for @jadedoptimist: I'm waitlisted at Syracuse as well and I'm not planning to stay on the list.
