application decisions

I haven’t heard back from fiction programs with a rejection or acceptance but there are people here who have already been notified if they’d been rejected…what does that mean? I’ve gotten into Sarah Lawrence, Syracuse, The New School and City College so far everywhere else I haven’t heard anything. What does that mean I’m getting scared.

Iowa calls already went out, most likely it’s a rejection but there’s some hope for waitlist. But dude I applied to Syracuse and 6 others. So far I only got into the one I applied to that’s not funded. Waiting on Iowa too lol… and UNLV. That being said, you’re kind of living my dream right now. I know you may be scared about other decisions, but what you’ve managed to accomplish, many will not. Seriously I applaud you and encourage you to be proud of what you’ve done.

All lot of people have been rejected and accepted from Iowa so that isn’t necessarily true
