@ByronYang ok cool, because i also really have to switch
Did anyone start a Facebook group for session 1?
did anyone apply to cali’s governor school who didn’t get into iowa, alternate or otherwise
Does anyone know how selective Iowa and Kenyon are? Trying to compare selectivity with Adroit
@mrcolumbiahopeful04 The Iowa acceptance letter says they received over 700 applications (144 are accepted). So Iowa’s acceptance rate is around 20%. Adroit only selected 51 students last summer. I don’t know how many applied. I have no stats on Kenyon but perhaps someone who received an admission may know. My guess is that Adroit has the lowest acceptance rate. You did not ask but Kelly Writers House only accepts about 20 students (and is generally looking for students that are competitive to get into Penn) . KWH might be the most competitive.
@ByronYang so they emailed me back and said i can only switch with a girl since I’m female…
@kdm1582 thanks for the numbers! (I missed the iowa application deadline this year.)
I agree, I think adroit probably sees similar app numbers to iowa because they attract similar crowds (smart, college-minded). I also feel like kelly is probably pretty selective too - not sure between kelly and adroit, but guessing theyre the most selective two
Has anyone started a Facebook group yet?
Idk how to start a Facebook group, bc I believe you have to add at least one person other than yourself when starting a group, and idk the names of anyone other than me in Session 1… but I’ll totally join a group if someone starts one!
i applied to adroit last year, and they said that they received 400+ applications. if you assume that they received 450 applicants and accepted 51, then that means they have an 11% acceptance. the main thing about adroit is that even if you’re an insanely good writer, it doesn’t guarantee acceptance because its the actual mentors that pick whether or not they want you as a mentee. so it’s more about “fit” than it is skill i guess?
Kelly Writers House decisions out today?
Congrats on IYWS to those of you who were accepted! If you have any questions, feel free to PM me. I rarely check CC anymore, but I respond to PMs.
I was rejected from Iowa but does anyone know how selective their online courses are? I might just do that instead
super excited for iowa! i was just notified of my acceptance!
Just got accepted off the alternates list!! Can’t wait!
CONGRATULATIONS everyone!!! You’re going to have an incredible summer! And for those of you who didn’t get in, no worries - they’re still accepting applications for their online courses until tomorrow, and you can always try to apply again. These things can be very subjective, and I know each and every one of you is going to have a wonderful summer! I would also note that it’s the actual production of writing that matters, and you can achieve that even at home. I spent many a summer back in high school churning out writing, and whether I did that at home or at a writing program, it was the actual work that mattered. So hopefully that’ll help both those of you who are going and those of you who aren’t enter into your summer with the right attitude! 
Yes, I got switched to session 1! See everyone there!
Is Iowa considered “better” than Kenyon?
@jazhope321 yeah
Does anyone know when we’ll find out what teacher we’ll have? Also, what roommate we’ll have?
