Taking my name off. Accepted at other schools. Good luck to all of those on the wait list. I hope this helps!

A very terse letter. Would've expected more from a renowned creative writing program.

Was not planning on attending anyways!! just a back up school!!

3.7 CSD GPA. out of state so expected.

Knew it was a long shot...but still disappointed. In debt out my *ss for all the money I spent on applications and currently about to cry if I get one more rejection today 1a(without funding)/0w/3r

So it goes.

Yet another in my conga-line of rejection letters... still waiting for news from two other schools but starting to wonder if I should have spent my money on rent instead of applications...

And here, we, go.

eh shouldn't have wasted the $100. not really bothered by it.

Combined MSW/PhD program. 25% assistantship for 4 years.

This one really hurt.

More than cool with it because unlike the other programs that charge 100 reading fee and then send a blanket email to 200 people, Iowa is a free app (why I even applied) & actually writes 1000 people a letter in return. Iowa may not be a top choice and snail mail is a slow way to let people down, but it's not near the let down 100 bucks and 3 sentences addressed to the wrong name in return is. (LOOKIN AT YOU, AZ) No hard feelings, Iowa. We can still be friends, right?

They let me know that they've called very few people so far, so even if grad cafe and the fb Draft make it look like everyone's gotten in, keep your hopes up! I think most answers are coming in letter form. 1a/2w/2r

Short and sweet letter saying my application was denied. No bitterness. This is a super competitive career we're getting ourselves into. It's just part of the game.
