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 Writersā€™ Studio 2009, Session 1ā€. </p>

<p>Looks like thereā€™s already a group for Session 2, too!</p>

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

<p>itā€™s taking forever! iā€™m going to be a wreak w/ college admissions!</p>

<p>Iā€™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. Arenā€™t some of the programs longer than others? Iā€™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 sankā€¦ 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. >.< Iā€™m growing more nervous with every day.</p>

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

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

<p>Iā€™m in California and mine still hasnā€™t arrived.</p>

<p>Idaho here. Iā€™m closer and havenā€™t gotten anything. Donā€™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 heā€™s going to go with Kenyon. Both programs are two weeks; UVAā€™s is three.</p>

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

<p>Iā€™m completely with you MonkeeSox! Iā€™m in NJ and I havenā€™t received a letter yet either. Itā€™s making me nervous. Keeping my fingers crossed that it will finally arrive tomorrow!</p>

<p>Iā€™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 ohā€¦in florida and still havenā€™t received it.</p>

<p>you guys donā€™t think they send out rejections later, do you?
:/</p>

<p>No, they definitely donā€™t send out rejections later. I got mine today.</p>

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

<p>:( Iā€™m sorry, guys. Iā€™m really sorry.</p>

<p>This is weird. I STILL havenā€™t received a letter from Iowa yet. I think Iā€™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 hopefulā€¦)</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>
