To clarify, Iowa does not have a law requiring 70% in state residents. Such a bill was passed by the house last year, but never got taken up by the senate.
You're right. For some reason I remembered it as being a law but now that I think about it, it was only proposed as a bill. Took down my post to avoid confusion.
It was a closed file interview so how did the interviewers know the details of your application?
The words used were I seemed to be "cut above the rest"
It's gotta be today
So I looked up the IS vs OOS acceptance rate for Iowa post-II and saw something like 30% OOS get accepted? It was one of the lowest post-II acceptance rates I saw. Can't tell you how many have already been accepted though, so consider that inclusive of both rolling admission + final pool OOS acceptances.
If I'm not mistaken, Final Pool and their waitlist are two separate things. There are three possibilities that come from being in the Final Pool: acceptance, rejection, or waitlist. Plenty of students get accepted from the Final Pool review without having to go into the waitlist.
That’s specifically alternate list. More than that will be accepted outright from the final pool.
Ah crap you right mb mb I didn't do well in CARS
It’s helpful info regardless! Thanks for screengrabbing that for us!
I honestly feel like so much of the process is random or up to chance in one way or another, so nobody beat themselves up for being final pooled!
Also interested if anyone has knowledge of this!
I think almost all interviewees who have not been accepted yet are final-pooled so I am not sure if it means anything.
None yet for me. I think someone in state got a full ride quite a few posts back though, but I'm OOS.
Based on my obsessive stalking of past threads, it is usually the week before the 15th so I’ll venture a guess of March 10th
For me, if I go to Iowa's "MyUI" and go to the financial aid section, there's a link to "financial aid offer" that says my scholarship. But I think they roll out scholarships/aid over time so don't be worried if there's no offer yet.
So you didn’t get an email, it just showed up on your “MyUI”?
I got an email back in December, but it only just showed up in MyUI on Feb 20th. So there's a chance some people could have an offer on MyUI without getting an email, who knows.
Ye I didn't get an email but found the financial aid offer in MyUI today. Thanks for the heads up!
I didn't get an email, but I just checked and my offer is available on MyUI
