Letter postmarked 3/1/17. 4a/1w/3r

Only half funding for first quarter better than nothing.

wait listed for Fiction, 1 of 18. :/

Really excited about this! First glimmer of hope after 6 rejections. If anyone accepted at Tennessee will be attending elsewhere, please let them know! :-)

At least it's getting easier to witness my dreams being crushed before my eyes lol. 1a/1w/6r/4pending.

Well, this one stung. Letter was dated March 1 and arrived today. I wasn't really counting on this one, but the cold tone of that half-paragraph letter was pretty brutal. Congrats to all who got in. 1a/0w/1r waiting on 3 more.

0a/0w/3r. (... 5 hours after hunter, damn. as expected, though! fairly nice, as far as rejection letters go. also: boston & brooklyn: might as well send your letters my way so i can call it a day :p)

Handwritten note: "this is strong work" at the bottom of the form rejection. Don't know if it's better or worse to have apparently come close. Oh well. 2a/0w/6r.

First notification. Received an email saying funding information to follow. 1a/0w/0r

I called Admissions last week and she told me that the letters should coming out this week. Some will be acceptances, most will be formal rejections. Good luck!

They only fund about 60% of students, so fingers crossed. Such a unique, lovely program.

Got a nice email from Mark Cox. He says the formal acceptance will be sent by the graduation school in a few days, hopefully with due funding details.

I've seen several decisions posted from the Iowa Writers' Workshop. On my Admissions Profile, the admission decision still says "in progress." Is anyone else still waiting to hear from Iowa?

Received a friendly call from Kevin Canty congratulating me on my acceptance. I still can't believe it. Funding is still iffy at this point, but I'm on the waitlist. I love this program!

Accepted via phone call from Dave Madden. Email followed after.
