Omg REALLY? That’s incredible! I have no doubt you’ll get into Iowa then! 
I got a gold key in short story for Scholastic this year, but I didn’t get any national level awards. @potterworld That’s so amazing! That means you’re one of the top writers in the country!
Thank you!
I’m sure that you guys will do even better:)
@fitzgirl22 Great job!! Getting a gold key an AMAZING accomplishment! I hope that you will be able to get a medal next year
@AlmightySadist you should definitely consider applying for Scholastic and I’m sure that you will do well.
@AlmightySadist I got a silver key in humor and placed in the top ten in this poetry contest.
Guys, there are less than two weeks left before we hear back from Iowa! Who else is scared???
@fitzgirl22
Omg. Don’t remind me bruh! I’m so frackin nervous!
I can see the rejection letter in my mind, but I’m fantasizing about my acceptance too!
Anyone here published beforehand?
@aroving
I don’t have an agent or contract or nuthin, but I have a really great refrigerator. B-)
@fitzgirl22 aaaahhhhh I’m scared! Do we get notified through email?
@torquoiseworld
Yeah, their website says on March 29 in an email, but it doesn’t specify what time…
And I emailed the director awhile ago surrounding my mixed application, (I had withdrawn an app. and submitted a new one. Long story) and he also said it would be through email, and given in the email.
@AlmightySadist My bad! not book-wise, I mean in journals, pamphlets, anthologies, etc
No awards, zero publication here (not even in the school magazine, ha!)
I’m realizing the sheer terribleness of my application and know 100% I won’t be accepted, but I’ve made a resolution to write a few hours a day those two weeks and do some networking, etc. B-)
@pielovereternal
OMG SAME.
I’ll work or something, maybe do some Anti-Trump campaign bleh.
But I wouldn’t write off Iowa completely. I think it’s the fact that so many other talents have applied, but how talented, is what is worrying all of us.
I wonder what the adcom is thinkin when they’re reading our stuff. I wonder if we stand out… Who knows. Gaah. Anyway, a little more than a week left!
I haven’t been published (anywhere) either. Don’t sweat it. XD Besides, they didn’t ask about that stuff in the app so they can’t really base their decision off that…
What does the status of everyone’s application say?
My transcript says, “recieved,” and my actual submission says, “In-progress.”
It’s crazy because it’s been labeled, “recieved” for the past six weeks! Dx
I know I shouldn’t read too much into it, but it gets me all nervous n stuff. XD
@AlmightySadist My actual submission is “In-progress.” How do you tell if your transcript is received? I have no clue.
Don’t be too nervous! It’s probably going to be “in progress” until March 29th hahaha. 
It says so in the same place of “in-progress.”
I uploaded my own transcript through parchment.
I don’t have any clue about my recommandation though. XD I really wanna know what she said!
@AlmightySadist I see. I had my school official upload my transcript, so hopefully Iowa received it. and hahaha I feel you about the recommendation
