@Neist thank you so much! That thread looks very helpful. Honestly, looking at that thread makes me realize I should probably look at programs that are more pedagogy-minded since that is my end goal. @bhr I would most like to teach. Do you mean the placement rate out of the specific program is awful, or just their PhD placement rate in general?

Hello all. I've applied to MFAs for before and only managed to get wait-listed, then ultimately rejected. A good talk with one of the program directors actually nudged me more toward my MA or PhD in the field instead. I'm in the research phase now and am struggling to find schools that meet the elusive "fit" requirement. I'm most interested in UFL's Comics & Visual Rhetoric track. One of my mentors/recommendation letter writers went there for both his MA and PhD, so I think I have a good shot. That is the only school I am 100% definitely applying to. [edited for clarity]
