@whitmanifesto I was definitely feeling that last week, but as soon as I finished my first draft of my research I felt a lot better.

Got waitlisted at Iowa for rhetoric, went to the visit back in February, two rhetoric admittances turned down their offers of admission and they yesterday I got an email I was rejected— I don’t get why they didn’t just send it after the visit, I’ve been putting off looking for a job-job until I knew and that’s two whole months where they knew they were going to reject me but didn’t. Not a good experience, especially because I had to email to get a response and everyone kept insisting being waitlisted didn’t mean I was still interviewing. Can’t help but feel really embarrassed and also pretty angry about the whole thing. The visit wasn’t great— I could tell most of the faculty didn’t want me there and I already have pretty bad social anxiety— but dang.

Anyone already at Indiana Bloomington - or expecting to go there in the fall?

@pato that is so frustrating. Was that the only school you were waiting for?

It was the only school I applied for; due to family issues I’m living in Iowa for the foreseeable future.

I'm so sorry @pato, sending my best as well.
