I&#...OK, so I accepted at Ole Miss a few hours ago. I've learned that the Poets and Writers ranking only means so much when you get down in the trenches with this offer versus that offer, this group of people in this town vs. that group of people in that town. The nearly-final results, applied in Fiction:<br /><br /><br />Indiana: Rejected<br />Alabama: Accepted<br />Ole Miss: Accepted<br />Virginia Tech: Accepted<br />McNeese: Waitlisted<br />UNLV: No word<br /><br />I called Indiana today to get my rejection from them over the phone. The admin girl graciously checked the list of their waitlisters and acceptees, and let me know that I wasn't on it. I did this so that I could officially accept at Ole Miss knowing that I had all my options in front of me.<br /><br />Ole Miss is offering a stipend that beat the shit out of everyone else I applied to, plus Oxford is cool, so it's off I go. McNeese waitlists should be out by email, I got mine from Griswold 4 days ago. UNLV, who knows what their deal is. Congrats to everyone who got in, and anyone on Virginia Tech, McNeese, or Alabama's waitlist, a spot will be opening up by the end of today.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10502965869753082430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15642985.post-73200519463016705342013-03-26T14:13:58.240-07:002013-03-26T14:13:58.240-07:00@ALL
First time applicant, only accepted to CUNY ...@ALL<br /><br />First time applicant, only accepted to CUNY Queens out of five schools. <br /><br />I've connected with a current MFA student who has nothing but good things to say about the program (referred to me by program director, so of course); especially attractive is the network of CUNY students / faculty, as well as the location. Campus in Flushing, Queens, NYC is basically a commuter campus, but MFA students are stilla tight knit group. Approximately $20k in tuition for a two year program, with possibility of a professorship in second year. Student indicated high ambitions among peers as well as strong post-grad job placement at universities, small presses, etc. <br /><br />All things considered, the program sounds great but the expense is significant - especially for a non-professional degree. Should I wait and go through another application cycle, or just go for it?

There are rumors of cw departmental isolation and tension against the rest of the hopkins "way", but it seems like the easiest/most obvious way to tackle that is to feel it out first hand.<br /><br />Good luck!

Seems like there's a lot of emotion...@Horace Q<br /><br />Seems like there's a lot of emotional math to calculate. <br /><br />Personally I wouldn't give up a fully-funded full-res for anything. About your relationship,I guess it depends how far is far. At least Hopkins is only two years instead of three. If I get off the wait list I'm hoping to I will be moving two hours away from my boyfriend of four years. He's not happy about it but some people commute to la, nyc, and chi for two hours each way every day so it's all perspective.

I also got into Columbia University and Pacific in Oregon -- so it's the battle between the low-res and the full-res. <br /><br />I'm leaning toward Hopkins because of the stellar faculty, the pro-research mentality, and the full funding and stipend. WW of course also has a stellar faculty, but there is no funding available for me. A plus is that I wouldn't have to uproot my life; attending a full-residency program would turn my relationship into a long-distance one. <br /><br />Still, going into $30K+ in debt...even with a full-time job, that is a difficult proposition. <br /><br />Haven't yet checked my financial aid package from Columbia, probably because I'm not ready for that level of sticker shock today...<br /><br />In any case, I'm glad I got in somewhere! My experience started with a stream of rejections, so I was losing hope. I'm fiction, btw.<br /><br />Is anyone else deciding between a low-res and full-res? Last night was the first of many sleepless ones. There's something about the freedom of being able to live anywhere and still be able to pursue an MFA (while working one-on-one with a professor/author) that is appealing. <br /><br />But on the other hand, actually having a school want to invest your writing...HoraceQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13647695609340407869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15642985.post-87519164163869957512013-03-26T09:45:10.674-07:002013-03-26T09:45:10.674-07:00Right now choosing between Sarah Lawrence and New ...Right now choosing between Sarah Lawrence and New School.

Who knows why these schools like my stuff and those schools didn't; I like it, so I guess these schools are better fits than those would have been.<br /><br />I'd think twice about settling for the other degree (any other degree) if you know writing is what you burn to do. I'm 37 and only now coming back to fiction; I've written about sports more or less continuously since finishing undergrad ('98) and also practiced law for several years, but the whole time I was miserable and -- the worst part -- I always knew exactly why.<br /><br />I won't pretend to have any special insight into your situation, but I can tell you my way of doing things, just kind of killing fifteen years, was dumb.
