So is Iowa sending wait-lists and rejections by tortoise?

Sad...my top choice. Email to ask the status and receive a rejection.

Received email to schedule phone call on Mar 2, had call next day, offered admission at the end of the phone call, accepted offer Mar 9.

I am sorry to inform you that you were not among those selected for admission by this program. We received more than 60 applications and could only admit 4 students

(NOT WL) TPB: I did not receive interview invitations, but I asked them today. The director sent me a very nice email basically saying rejection. They have already sent (or decided) first round offers. If you were interviewed, they would likely be able to extend an offer to you. If not being interviewed, chances are very slim, presume rejection.

Has anyone got an acceptance after the interview? I had an interview in early Feb and they didn't reply me back yet.

Had undergrad in Filmmaking/Communication, and an MA in Applied Communication/Documentary Studies, plus 2 years graduate teaching experience, got rejected. Disappointed, but wishing good luck to everyone else on their grad school journeys!

(Ignore the waitlist) Emailed them and received "We offered admissions to several students and will make more offers early next week. With that said we will likely to make more offers till mid April." A grad student in the department told me they are aiming for an incoming class size of 6-8, which is half the size what ISU is aiming for lol.

finally an acceptance, feeling relieved
