I remember I wrote Berkeley a couple of years ago to ask about returning to school (my B.A. is 16 years old) and I was discouraged from applying because it might be tough to get good recommendations. But it's probably something I'll be considering, now that I'm working on the MFA.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15866005252918168891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15642985.post-75499273606529396732007-07-23T00:20:00.000-07:002007-07-23T00:20:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15866005252918168891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15642985.post-70189630156249683402007-07-21T23:09:00.000-07:002007-07-21T23:09:00.000-07:00If I had planned it better, I would have prepped f...If I had planned it better, I would have prepped for the GRE Subject at the same time that I was studying for the General so that I wouldn't have to go through the motions 2x. Looks like I'll be doing that again during my MFA. It'll definitely be a pain studying for that thing. Speaking of the GRE general, I did take it seriously, doing practice exams on Saturday mornings on my computer at work; the CD was not compatible with my Mac. At the time, my desk at work was next to a churning, rumbling wine fridge. Oh, that was a gawd-awful experience. <BR/><BR/>Berkeley is a dynamic town - Telegraph, Rockridge, and the rest of Oakland. Great weather, culture, everything. <BR/><BR/>Yeah, when I said "year off", I was referring to teaching or TAing or something in an academic setting, just not a full-time student, while I apply to PhDs.Mike Valentehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05655671939237508024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15642985.post-33541899869501208592007-07-21T17:39:00.000-07:002007-07-21T17:39:00.000-07:00yeah... it's a tough decision... i'm only applying...yeah... it's a tough decision... i'm only applying to three schools for ph.d. this year (berkeley, cornell, and brown), but that's mainly because i can do the third-year lectureship if i don't get in. the gre subject test seems like the biggest hurdle... i say take a practice test and see how you do then decide.Meredith Ramirezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00065004371057515813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15642985.post-36872237273147992992007-07-21T12:20:00.000-07:002007-07-21T12:20:00.000-07:00M - I too am highly considering a PhD after my MFA...M - I too am highly considering a PhD after my MFA. Gearing up to take a couple of Lit classes that would provide a good foundation for PhD coursework. Not sure if I'm going to start my application process during my 2nd year, which could cut into my productivity at ND, or wait until after I finish and possibly "take a year off" working in some capacity.Mike Valentehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05655671939237508024noreply@blogger.com
