Iowa Young Writers' Studio 2019

@FlameAlchemist I think they said something like “mid-May”…hopefully it’s earlier though

does anyone know how we leave camp on the last day? they say plan to leave between 7 am to noon so will they provide transportation for people flying all at one time and wait at the airport until our flight?

hey so i ended up being ultimately rejected from iowa after alternate and penn :frowning: but I heard back today that i got into sewanee! did anyone else get in there?

@wistfulwords I am still on the alternate list for Iowa! I imagine I’m getting rejected soon. it’s getting kinda late…

@jazhope321 - I think there are two big dates whereby a few spots could free up: 1) Financial Aid decisions are released May 1, and 2) Tuition of $2,200 is due June 1. People hoping for financial aid probably need a few days to digest. Also, a few might back out once the big payment is due. Don’t give up hope!

@kdm1582 Do people who get accepted off the alternate list still get to apply for financial aid?

@jazhope321 I have no knowledge of the IYWS process. I will say that common sense tells me that the limited amount of financial aid available will be used by the initially accepted applicants. That’s typically how college waitlists work. One has a better chance of coming off those lists if they’re full-pay. That’s just speculation on my part.

@jazhope321 yes, they do! @kdm1582 no, you apply for financial aid AFTER getting accepted so it will in no way affect the decision.

Has anyone heard from the online program? I thought we were supposed to hear on May 1, but have not.

@wistfulwords
So they’ll send you an email later on telling u that ur now ultimately rejected? (Just being curious cuz I’m an alternate too

If no one has started one yet, would anyone be interested if I create a Facebook or Instagram group thing (for either session)? so far I haven’t seen one yet but pm me if you’re interested!!

@hellopotato I can’t pm because I haven’t posted enough but a group sounds like a great idea!

Sounds great!!!

how do you make a hawk id?

I think you just click the link in the email. Does anyone know what we’ll use them for, or why we need them?

That was so confusing to me too. It looks like because we’re attending the studio, we’re registered as U of Iowa students. I don’t know if we’re supposed to do anything with it though

Has anyone from Session 2 received word on who their roommates are/which workshop they got into yet?

I haven’t yet :confused: @FlameAlchemist

@Pentatonix123 Same. The anticipation is killing me!

Got my roommate and workshop info today! @FlameAlchemist
