Please decline your offer, if you have other better choices! This is my last chance in this year, thank you!

Anyone hear anything from the Masters program? Seems pretty late without any decisions.

I have declined my offer of admission into Iowa's program. Good luck, everyone!

Low GRE score GRE = 296

Has anyone heard about funding from Iowa yet?

Anybody hear from Iowa or Brooklyn for playwriting yet?

gpa:3.29, GMAT:660

Funded with TA , Had a telephonic interview (general discussion regd interests)

Hope this helps.

Poster below: I do know that with Iowa's admissions process, students, fellows, read first rounds. There are between 1000 - 1400 manuscripts to go through. The pool gets smaller and smaller as it goes up the chain. Samantha Chang doesn't read until the pool has been considerably reduced. While she signs every response letter, if you didn't get a personal note, there's a good likelihood she didn't actually read your manuscript. So, I wouldn't take it as a personal rejection from her. You should certainly try again in future, when you feel ready.

Basic letter. No special note. A lot of people here have received a special note from the Lan Samantha Chang and it makes me feel like my application and portfolio must have truly been that bad. If so many people are getting special notes, then there must be a few of us who really had stunk. I don’t know if that means that I should even apply next year, given that I didn’t receive such a note. Has anyone applied again after a basic letter? Any personalized response after that?
