Hey all! I'm brand new on here and I was accepted to WashU/WUSTL this Fall! Now I'm (of course) a little petrified of uprooting my life in Oakland to move to St. Louis. Does anyone have more insight on this program? I've done extensive research and visited, but things are still hazy. I'm a little older than some of the people I've seen applying (26, not old for an MFA at all but all the same it gives me pause to see so many 22 year olds) and I'd really appreciate an insider view! I didn't think I would get in! I'm considering deferring until next year while I figure out how to logistically get myself out there and established, and part of me thinks I should've applied to CA schools for practicality in tuition as a resident. Any insight is appreciated! In addition- If I declined their offer of admission and reapplied next year, is there any chance of readmission? Any tips on the deferral option would be appreciated too.
