As Director of a low-residency program (Stonecoast MFA), i've occasionally seen applicants withdraw their acceptance of another program's offer of admission when they receive our offer and/or learn more about what we call "the Stonecoast difference." I haven't seen a switch the other way yet, but whichever way it happens, I think most programs truly want the student to make the choice that will be the best fit for them, and to choose the program where they are most likely to thrive and succeed as a writer. Sometimes you might forfeit a deposit, depending on how close it is to the start of the semester.

First, select the program that best fits you. I did a couple of years of research (including reading May's and Kealey's excellent books), before selecting my MFA program at Converse College. Yes, Converse had the lowest tuition of any I found, but cost wasn't a deciding factor for me. It had everything to do with the environment: award-winning faculty, bestselling visiting authors and NY publishers, direct mentoring, spending face-to-face time with professors both in professional and social settings, etc). <br />First, choose your program/s based on things other than cost. Then fill out a FAFSA and see what kind of funding you can get. You may be surprised at what you'll find. Then look into program costs, being sure to factor in housing, travel, food, etc. <br />Now consider your investment. Yes, it's an investment--not in the stock market, but in yourself. <br />A friend told me to consider it as buying one less car in my lifetime, since the cost of a new car is comparable to that of an MFA program. Your car won't last you nearly as long as your education. <br />Good luck in your program!Rhonda Browning Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17876849209947845032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15642985.post-11127082639906432122011-08-30T03:10:37.269-07:002011-08-30T03:10:37.269-07:00Hi there Sheila,

It seems like a disrespectful thing to do, but I wonder if it ever happens. I won't name schools, but I was accepted with funding to School A and accepted their offer. Then, before I declined School B's unfunded spot, they called and said they would be able to give me funding. I'm 90% sure I won't be withdrawing at all, but yeah, just curious if it ever happens.blakeevahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02031379700903214716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15642985.post-58351464213333068812011-04-06T20:36:17.408-07:002011-04-06T20:36:17.408-07:00I recently purchased this book and have been thumb...I recently purchased this book and have been thumbing through it - it seems like a great resource.<br /><br />University of British Columbia's program caught my eye but I wanted a LOT more information. Does anyone know this school's MFA reputation?
