Of all the programs I applied to, Purdue's was by far the best in terms of ease of application, quick replies from staff, and truly helpful mass emails about how to make the application process easier (e.g. create folders for each school and store all emails appropriately. Obvious, yes, but I hadn't done it until I got the email.).

My 10 poems tell a sort of story all together and if I rank them in order of best to worst, that completely disrupts their natural progression. Are admissions folks looking for a cohesive manuscript or just a collection of 10 really good poems?

Meaning, no true college towns,esp not any upper midwest ones like Madison or Ann Arbor and unfortunately, no Iowa. I'm afraid I'd go bonkers there having lived the last 10 years in metros of at least 7 million people. Smallest place I have lived is the Bay Area so I already feel like I am giving up a bit of big city culture to attend.<br /><br />Applying to Portland State, University of Oregon, UT Austin, UC Irvine, UC Boulder, UC San Diego and just to see if there might be funding... SF State/SJ State just to see about funding though I know they probably won't offer it. If I don't get into any full funding then I might consider a low residency MFA.jzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15298296162455209338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15642985.post-84318252437009499202012-11-04T17:29:24.515-08:002012-11-04T17:29:24.515-08:00Thanks for sharing the answers, I'm really thi...Thanks for sharing the answers, I'm really thinking about getting a <a href="http://www.gradschools.com/search-programs/online-programs/creative-writing" rel="nofollow">creative writing degree online</a> and you've help me decide whether to pursue or not.

I am currently writing a literary neuronovel in the vein of McEwan's SATURDAY and ENDURING LOVE, or Powers's THE ECHO MAKER and GENEROSITY. Because I have a lot of neuroscience and transhumanism in my story (although all contemporary research, so it isn't sci-fi), nearly everyone who reads it call it "futuristic," which I can't stand, since I feel they are categorizing it into genre fiction. I heard UC San Diego sort of caters to this type of writing, but are there any others? Please help!<br />PS: I am currently a comparative literature PhD candidate, and I am certain that my story is literary (to wit, centered on character and theme development).radiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12371229435038126865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15642985.post-91121705672239536922012-10-29T20:33:18.217-07:002012-10-29T20:33:18.217-07:00One question on the LOR's -- I was thinking I&...One question on the LOR's -- I was thinking I'd use three teachers. I'm more than ten years out of undergrad and have attended quite a few conferences and have maintained contact with my teachers. I have two very successful writers/and teachers plus another writer who has been my local teacher (not as successful but we've worked together monthly for 3 years. . ). Should I ditch one and ask a writing peer to write one instead?

Everyone and their sister will write about how amazing they are (or about those amazing experiences that make them an irresistible applicant). But MFA programs are not just looking for amazing writers. They're also looking for writers who will become productive and energetic members of their communities, that is, the vibrant, creative communities all MFA programs aspire to be. In your statement, demonstrate that you're psyched about collaborating with other writers, that you're open to new artistic viewpoints, and that you want more than anything to help the program grow and improve. Focus on WHAT YOU WILL BRING TO THE PROGRAM. That, in addition to your own awesomeness, will improve your chances at getting in.<br /><br />Best of luck.<br /><br />Jeremy, distilleryediting.com<br />Otherwiseknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13077998414701639882noreply@blogger.com
