Iowa Young Writers Studio 2016

@amamberry3 Last year it was March 31st, if I remember right

@Alexandradra Oh my god that’s not soon enough.
Iowa is April 1st, right?

The Iowa website says that decisions will be e-mailed on March 29th, so I’m hoping that’s correct!

I think UVA young writers’s results are coming tomorrow, if I remember right :slight_smile:

@GrandBudapest Iowa is March 29th

Four more days! WE GOT THIS!

@ziying There weren’t too many international students. I am from India. And I think only 1-2 people in my session were from abroad. But they attended school in America.

@fitzgirl22 I studied Poetry with Dan Rosenberg. Once you’re accepted, they give you a list of classes. And mostly, you will find something that does suit your genre or interest. They give you a lot of freedom to experiment and to write what you want and how you want.

@GrandBudapest The competition between fiction and poetry cannot be compared. You will be judged on the same thing by the same panel and you will get to choose you genre and class, only after you’re accepted.

@AlmightySadist The email arrived sometime around 8 AM last year. The decision was in the body of the email. Also, the response seemed to be template-generated not personal.
