A letter from "No longer waiting, just trying to move on in Philly"...
I e-mailed you sometime ago about the atrociously long waiting list I was on for a few schools. Well, I did want to let you know that I was "called up" from the waiting list and I now have three eclectic universities to choose from. They are-San Diego State, San Jose State and Rosemont, a small private college in Philadelphia. Before I uproot my life (I plan on making a trip to California next week to check out housing options), I'm wondering if you are familiar with the reputations of these programs.
Believe me, I did a huge amount of research and I can spout statistics 'til the cows come home. I've spoken with faculty and even tried to round up some current students by e-mail. I am leaning towards San Diego, because it is so eclectic (and one of the writing samples I submitted was erotica) and Harold Jaffe is an instructor there and is considered "avant garde".
Any suggestions?
Philly, I really don't know enough to point you in any particular direction. I'm going to put a clamp on my man-facting.
Does anyone out there have insights into San Jose State, San Diego State, or Rosemont?

Well they have absolutely no reputations what so ever.
Congrats on getting off the waitlist. That's really exciting. I hope you're able to get some helpful advice. Good luck!
