didn’t see a thread for this! did anyone else apply? i can’t seem to find much info online about this program, is it considered selective, does anyone have any experience with it?
i went last year; feel free to ask me anything!
if you’ve gone to any other programs, would you say that sewanee’s instruction is as good as the more selective programs, like kenyon or Iowa young? decisions come out tomorrow, but i haven’t able to gauge how selective they are, but sewanee coincides with some other programs of mine anyway…
also, if you’d be willing to share the statement that got you in that would be great! I’ve already applied so there’s no point really… but i guess i want to see what they look for in a statement? let me know! thanks
sewanee is less competitive i would say. i think i got more like. sheer competed work out of kenyon than sewanee but more individualized feedback from sewanee. also sewanee specializes by type of writing vs kenyon is completely general
hmm that’s interesting… decisions are meant to come out today, but i haven’t received any news yet 
do you remember around what time during the day your decisions were released?
and this is prob not possible but do you have any guesses on the acceptance rate, approximately? same question goes for kenyon, I’ve heard it’s around 30% but it’s less as of late i think
it was 2:30pm ish EST; maybe there’s some sort of issue? i have no idea what the acceptance rate was unfortunately, but i would say it’s higher than kenyon
hey! I attended Sewanee last year, and a friend who attended the same program told me they talked to one of the heads of the program who said there were a little under 1,000 applications and the acceptance rate is 8% :))) while Kenyon and Iowa may be slightly more competitive, Sewanee was still one of the best experiences of my life. If you have any more questions, feel free to reach out!!
