Iowa Young Writers' Studio

<p>So, I totally started a FB group for Session 1.</p>

<p>EDIT: IDK HOW TO LINK TO IT</p>

<p>Okay, just search, ā€œIowa Young Writers’ Studio 2009, Session 1ā€. </p>

<p>Looks like there’s already a group for Session 2, too!</p>

<p>Are any of you guys attending the Iowa Young Writers’ Studio as rising college freshmen? I really want to apply next year and if I’m extremely fortunate to get in, I’m wondering if it’s worth it since I want to spend most of my time with friends before college starts.</p>

<p>it’s taking forever! i’m going to be a wreak w/ college admissions!</p>

<p>I’m in for Session 1! Sweet.</p>

<p>Muhaha, and I was missing the teacher rec. ; )</p>

<p>Kansasmom, your son is a lucky man. My impression are that Kenyon and Iowa are the holy grails of writing program but really they are all 3 fabulous programs. He cannot go wrong, no matter how he chooses. Aren’t some of the programs longer than others? I’d prefer a 2 week course over a 1 week course.</p>

<p>So I was fully expecting a decision letter to arrive today, so I was in a very excited state for my whole walk home. A few houses down from mine I gave up on patience and sprinted the rest of the way to my mailbox. I saw no large envelopes and my heart completely sank… But looking through them I saw that there was nothing there from Iowa at all.</p>

<p>I really hope I get a decision tomorrow. >.< I’m growing more nervous with every day.</p>

<p>^ What state are you in?</p>

<p>Mine has yet to arrive either.</p>

<p>I’m in California and mine still hasn’t arrived.</p>

<p>Idaho here. I’m closer and haven’t gotten anything. Don’t worry. :)</p>

<p>Thanks, heavenlyjane, it was a real boost for him and has inspired his writing. From what i could tell, Kenyon and Iowa both seemed to have great faculty, small classes, and great kids. I think he’s going to go with Kenyon. Both programs are two weeks; UVA’s is three.</p>

<p>I’m in New York and I have no letter yet. It’s driving me maaad. At least I’m on spring break now and I’ll be home when the mail comes tomorrow.</p>

<p>I’m completely with you MonkeeSox! I’m in NJ and I haven’t received a letter yet either. It’s making me nervous. Keeping my fingers crossed that it will finally arrive tomorrow!</p>

<p>I’m here to say-I told you all so.</p>

<p>Have fun where ever you are going. Looks like I get to find a summer job now.</p>

<p>God dammit.</p>

<p>O dear :frowning: That really sucks. Sorry, and good luck with other summer plans</p>

<p>uh oh…in florida and still haven’t received it.</p>

<p>you guys don’t think they send out rejections later, do you?
:/</p>

<p>No, they definitely don’t send out rejections later. I got mine today.</p>

<p>Have fun guys. :)</p>

<p>:( I’m sorry, guys. I’m really sorry.</p>

<p>This is weird. I STILL haven’t received a letter from Iowa yet. I think I’ll try calling them in case there was a mix-up.</p>

<p>just got my rejection. well, at least i was prepared and expecting (but still kind of hopeful…)</p>

<p>do you guys know if denison is on the same level as iowa? i applied to that as well and am wondering if i should just anticipate a rejection letter</p>
