Last I heard from this university on 25 Feb 2018 said my name wasn't in the list of accepted of wait-listed candidates. As of this day no news on admission or wait listed or rejection. I saw several students' post of acceptance or rejection. But no change in mine. _I_I_

I had forgotten they never sent me a decision

Was accepted early March, but due to financial reasons, I'll be declining my offer.

Accepted off waitlist. Received email requesting an interview on the 11th, interviewed the 12th, received offer a few hours later and accepted!

Waitlisted then accepted. Just declined it. Hope that I just saved someone.

applied to pure and was waitlisted. offered spot in applied math -- i declined as i've already accepted another offer

Accepted from waitlist! Received email from PoI. Astronomy track.

Also got rejection letter from UNC via email...

one of my dream programs. If you have received an offer but won't go, please decline ASAP. Thank you so much.

Just got admitted off of the waitlist, very likely to accept!

Has anyone received information about assistantships yet?

I was actually accepted but I am choosing to go to a much smaller school. I haven’t heard anything after I declined the offer and I’m hoping that someone else will get my spot, it’s not like they don’t have enough people applying there. Also Syracuse and Naropa waitlisted people for poetry should be hearing back soon I hope. Hope this helps and best of luck again!

To the responder, I believe I mentioned the irony about the frost quote. The irony is that people think it’s positive that he chose the path... he said different. That’s what I’m saying. It’s different, I don’t think it’s a better choice, for me maybe; but for others there is no way of knowing. Maybe I did overthink everything. I am in a whirlwind of thought, but thats what applications do to us, they make us crazy... but it’s beautiful! This is not an argument just a clarification of my novel I typed. Best of luck to you as well! And I am still hoping that whoever was waitlisted gets to experience such a great school.

Haven't heard back either and seems like no one else did from these results. I wonder if they are taking any Masters students this year?

If you don't expect to be going to UoI, please reject your offers. This is my top choice.

To the person inquiring about my “interesting reason” and my “ambivalence”, I’ll say this: my goal is to always be true to what makes my writing, MY writing. Certain scenarios pose a threat to my writing. Such as: going from urban areas where there are children who need good teachers, to going to rural Iowa where they are “Midwest nice”. It’s not about the school name or what they could offer as far as career; I write for fulfillment. There is something more rewarding than getting published in poetry magazine and having a book in the Yale series, those goals and many others can be accomplished anywhere if you are a good enough writer. But Iowa as great of a school as it is, does not have urban kids who could use some help. My ambivalence does not stem from me thinking I am too good, in fact it is in a lot of ways the exact opposite. What if instead of doing something for myself... I decided to help someone else out by staying where I am, going to a smaller school and teaching children different ways out of poverty other than athletics and entertainment; meanwhile honing my craft with the poets who are not as well known but they are accomplished in their own right. It was by no means an easy decision, but someone like you or whoever else is waitlisted will get an opportunity to chase after their dreams. My dreams are not better nor are they more novel, they are simply mine... I could not fit 2-3 years away from where I am into accomplishing my true dream, which is to help. I wish all who attend Iowa and other schools the best of luck, and I think we are all doing what we were made to do. Two roads diverged in a wood, and I chose the one less traveled and that has made all the difference. The funny thing about that frost quote is that he never said the other path was better, worse, longer, shorter; he just said it was different. I’m different, my path is different... but that’s the beauty of the possessive noun... MY path, is mine.

Have not heard anything from master's application. Anyone else?
