same haha everyone at my school is into STEM, so i always feel like the lone writer.
@bluets hi! Do you think youād be able to message me, too? Thank you! I want to find out a bit more about the structure of the program & how the online communication works
@saintanford The Discord idea sounds great! Iāll join up!
@inflorescent @cheesepanda @FlameAlchemist ah damn i just realized iām too busy to properly mod a server, but if someone wants to take the idea that would be cool!
omg kenyon got canceled :ā( i got into iyws online though!! think iām deferring to next year ā is it me or do the iyws online classes seem sort of idk thrown together? like thereās a lot thatās like tbd lmao. anyway god please adroit work out 
was hoping kenyon + iowa would come through but iām a sophomore so i guess i canāt complain lmao
yeah iām rly sad about kenyon, wish theyād done something online iāve gotten into reynolds and theyāve shifted it online, but itās only for a week so i hope adroit comes through! also if weāre doing a discord server, someone link me up!
@mrcolumbiahopeful04 @momentsilence aaa my program was shifted online too and i donāt have very high hopes :(( i hope adroit comes through too just bc i just know that my other programās experience wonāt be anything like it was supposed to be now
@inflorescent @cheesepanda @FlameAlchemist @saintanford
A discord sever sounds amazing. No one writes at my school, theyāre all either band or theater nerds which I love, of course, but I need me some writer friends :). I have the time to mod one too if yāall want
@AvocadoOptemist ooh thatād be great if you could mod one! i need some writer friends too haha
@AvocadoOptemist yeah, that would be absolutely fantastic! the servers iām in are mostly jam-packed with art kids, and theyāre great but they just canāt relate to the very specific Writer Thingsā¢ we all go through lol. if you do make the server, please drop the link here!

(I added spaces because they donāt allow links. Just type it all in w/o spaces and youāll get the invite)
@saintanford @inflorescent @cheesepanda @FlameAlchemist @momentsilence
idk how discord works because iām a square lmao but iāll look into it!! also oh my god lol the acceptance rate of adroit is so low, and the yield is so high lol ā i feel so screwed lmao
"Last year, we received roughly 650 applications for 56 spots, which led to an ~8% acceptance rate. We accepted one student off the waitlist, as 98% of admitted students (or 55/56) accepted their spots. "

@mrcolumbiahopeful04 For IYWS you can take both the online class and choose to defer your acceptance next year.

hi guys iām writing my application right now for the poetry and iām done with three of my four poems but for the writerās statement i have no idea what iām going to write about. did any of you experience this at all? do i have to write about a personal story that got me into writing? i know that the writerās statement is super important and i donāt want to mess this up eek
Just got into IYWS too! Hoping Adroit comes throughā¦
@bioluminescent7 congratulations!!
