They were saying if you hadn't heard anything, that probably means you're on the waitlist, too (JTM on this one--I'd email Notre Dame to confirm confirm, if you're a poetry applicant and still haven't heard anything). That's a bright side hopefully for some poetry peeps; notta on the fiction, still. Has anyone else reached crazy-twitching-stink-eye status yet? Pretty sure I'm about there. Patience is not my strongest virtue, but all this...hot damn. It's a lot. one of my friends (fellow intl student for poetry) has emailed them as well, i'm gonna wait to see what they reply to confirm confirm too haha. will update yall! fishfish24 1

Embrittled-by-Wait Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 Thank you all for your individual anecdotes regarding the Writing Process. It's done a lot to shore up my confidence in my own submission, my writing more generally. And, Thanks to those of you who had insight re Iowa and JHU. Being in the dark like this, for this long, is so agonizing. At least I can kinda assume that, if I don't hear from Iowa this week, I'm better off channeling my anxious energy toward another school's decisions. Haha. goodcynara and CrankyGinger 1 1

I would be interested to know if he was running the interviews for all the other finalists as well or if y’all interviewed with someone else. I have my interview with him scheduled for Friday! Hope yours went well.
Evc Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 Saw some UNCW fiction acceptances on Draft. Does anyone know how they are notifying, or if waitlists/rejections have gone out?

I think they do a semi-rolling thing that staggers aid and places, but I'm not sure of the specifics. Evc, CayceCamus and mrvisser 3

ilikepoetry Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 wait so does anyone know how funding works at iowa? do you all know like the average stipend people get? is this secrets!
CrankyGinger Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 I've lurked for a long time and had to finally say how much of a relief it's been to read everyone else's struggle going through the application process and now the decisions. It's so wonderful seeing how supportive everyone is of each other and their successes and even the mutual middle fingers when there are rejections. You're all delightful and I'm so glad to not feel completely alone in this hair pulling, nauseating thing we've all done. I have an acceptance from SLC with a small scholarship, but am still waiting on Brown, Iowa, Columbia and NYU. I ate an entire large bag of candy today as my lunch with one shoe on because I'm definitely not stressing over the waiting whatsoever. nope, super chill over here. Probably not even gonna buy another bag of candy from the dollar store. Anyone know a good dentist? nottheamazonalexa, FairleyAlfy, orangeslice and 8 others 11

I'm definitely not an expert -- I've never attended their program -- but from what I've read, there are several different options for funding: the main route is to teach, where they assign you one of two courses: either Rhetoric or what amounts to a Literature survey course (a tour d'horizon for undergrad frosh); the other option is a fellowship, which's reserved for la crème de la crème (de la crème, being that they're Iowa students). Figures-wise, I too am kinda ignorant, but suffice it to say, you'll be mostly taken care of. Please, if I'm wrong on any of the particulars, I invite corrections -- for this person's edification as well as my own. Otherwise, hope this helps.
