anarchisttiger Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I had SUCH a vivid dream last night that I was accepted to Iowa, I had to wake myself up and check the portal. I even posted on here in my dream. Let’s hope it’s a premonition! rbr542 and Ydrl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's good that they seem to let us have free reign over which language we want to translate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polkadotpoet Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Ahhh I see that Minnesota has started notifying fiction applicants. Has anyone heard back for poetry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anarchisttiger Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Has anyone ever asked a school when they plan to notify? I'm too nervous to do it myself, but knowing when I could expect an answer may help quell my anxiety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the schools I applied, the dates are pretty well-known (per the results boards going all the way back to '16 I should expect to hear by the third week of February). If you don't have an idea, I doubt there is anything negative associated with sending a polite query (unless they specifically request applicants to not ask) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dochinka96 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I love BU: "A hint: those who write in flowery prose or overly-subjectively–that is, about dreams, memories, thoughts, states of mind–or who dwell obsessively on sensitive children may find themselves at a disadvantage."

If someone agrees to take Syracuse I’ll do washu or vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
