emburst Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Chin up. You still got accepted to two programs. And there are still seven other potential acceptances coming your way. Thanks. Just bummed cause it was kind of my top top choice. Well, tomorrow is another day. Hopefully everyone gets some good news to wrap up this week.

HeyIowa Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) I'm afraid the Iowa one wasn't a hoax!! Got a call a couple days ago and I'm still in shock! EDIT: I got in for fiction. Good luck to all of you and I hope you're going to be rolling in acceptances! Edited February 20, 2015 by HeyIowa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octoberstormxx Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Oh no. Don't freak just yet. Many people have said they inform over a course of days (not sure I believe that though). Besides, keep in mind the competition is fierce! Where have you applied? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyIowa Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 @jforms They haven't informed everybody yet. You still have a chance! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've applied to many schools. 14. Many of which have been discussed here. Brown, Iowa, Alabama, Boise State, Irvine, Washington University in St. Louis, Wichita State, Southern Illinois, others that scare me to think about. Rejected from Cornell and Minnesota so far. Haven't heard back from anybody else. Still keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks, HeyIowa. Congrats!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyIowa Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Despite the Iowa acceptance, I've gotten rejects so far from Washington University in St. Louis,U Minnesota, Cornell, and Michener. You never know how things shake out. Still have 7 more decisions to wait for, including UCI, Syracuse, Brown, Virginia, and Vanderbilt. Only really interested in Vanderbilt, UVA, and Syracuse at this point, more for the external validation than any real desire to go. But honestly I wouldn't be surprised if I got rejections from 10-12 of the 14 I applied to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for reminding me that, just because one school says no, doesn't mean all of my others will too. I only applied to 4 programs, haven't heard back from any of them, and am dangerously close to going down the rabbit hole. Edited to add: good luck HeyIowa, particularly if you end up in Iowa City. I went to Iowa for undergrad, and had really hoped to get back there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emburst Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Yes, shoopster! There's just so many factors in play. It's literally unpredictable. A great reminder for us all. Congrats, HeyIowa!! Best of luck to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lagoon91 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 also that being said, is anyone else interested in Indiana/heard anything back? it's kinda one of my dream schools, and they've been real hush hush so far in terms of notification.

I applied to Indiana and haven't heard anything either! I was wondering the same thing... I visited Bloomington years ago on my way to Asheville, NC and I thought it was really lovely town, and the campus was beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I got my rejections from WUSTL and Minnesota, I thought, OK, this clearly isn't happening for me this year. But I still have yet to hear from 5 schools, so I shouldn't necessarily jump to a glass-half-empty scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bug128 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) Were there a lot of Iowa poetry acceptances? I saw two on the results page here and felt a little despondent! I know I shouldn't get my hopes up too high. Also I am feeling confused about Cornell; I applied in poetry and haven't heard anything, which I assume means it's a no. I know all the fiction people have found out but does anyone have a guess as to what's happening there? Edited February 20, 2015 by Bug128 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bug128 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 How do you know all the fiction people found out? I meant for Cornell. It seems like in past years they usually report all rejections on the same day and there were so many on the results page that's what I gathered.

ovalwriter Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Hello Group, For those of you who made it into the Drafts group on Facebook, can you tell me about how many people said they received an acceptance from Iowa (fiction)? In the "Results" list here on this site, I've seen about 3. I know everyone won't post, but I'm trying to get an idea of how many have posted their acceptances. I wish you all the very best of luck, and I hope our wait won't be much longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
