    Hey y'all! I have just been accepted w/ funding to George Mason's MFA program. I was just wondering if there was anyone else out there in the same boat and if anyone has updated info on the best places to live??
  2. I have a friend who was in a somewhat similar situation kind of a limbo/wait-list/purgatory thing a while back. A month before classes started she was offered acceptance w/o funding. She didn't want to go w/o funding but took a risk anyway and long story short, she ended up with funding a week before classes started. Keep the hope alive y'all. You never know what will happen if you are in the limbo area. Hope for the best, plan for the worst. Start looking at internship ops places!!! Internships are fun (at least I like 'em a lot).
  3. BOO! That is awful. Are you looking into any internship ops or anything for the coming year? If you apply to wherever I end up this year for next year I will vouch for you!!!
  4. I'll be around for awhile on here too, I rather like the folks I have met and love keeping in touch with people.
  5. Thanks! And I hope you hear from Indiana ASAP!
  6. So is anyone participating in this thread or reading it accepted to Cincinnati for the MA program in poetry that is planning on turning it down or still considering other programs? I am not attempting to convince anyone to turn down the acceptance, just trying to put the likelihood of a ridiculous dream becoming a reality! I just talked to Cincinnati and I am #1 on the wait-list and Cincinnati is my top choice and I would like to lock that down so I could turn down my other offers and open up spots for others in other programs if at all possible. Thanks guys!
  7. YIKES!? Still no word? That's ridiculous!
  8. Hopefully you will hear something this week? It is starting to get late for any and all schools. WHY MUST THEY TORTURE US!?
  9. Beware the ides of March tomorrow, y'all!
  10. If I am not incorrect doesn't posting something like this on here make it unpublishable? Or has it already been published? Regardless if you haven't sent this to Bitter Oleander that might be a good journal to try to submit to. Thanks for sharing! I would share one, but I am wary that it would result in my poem being unpublishable (like I said I am not 100% certain about these rules). However, here is a link to my first publication from a couple years back http://issuu.com/barelysouth/docs/barely_south_review_-_april_2012 and a newer one http://www.rappahannockreview.com/issue-1-2/homemade/ Rappahannock is a great new journal (Check all they have in both issues out and submit there too!).
  11. HANG IN THERE! You never know what may happen! I am pullin' for ya.
  12. Keep at it you guys, when I didn't go anywhere last year I was super bummed, but it gives you time to intern for a journal (there are tons of websites that list great internships w/ journals and other places), tutor, do workshops, all those things that will make your app impossible to deny the next go around.

  14. Thanks so much! Yes it is my first official acceptance (this year) I got into Emerson last year but decided not to go because their lack of funding and just decided the program wasn't what I wanted. I talked to the editor-in-chief of the journal I work at today and he went to Indiana way back when and knows some people there now and had recently talked to them. He talked like they should be making calls/emails by the end of this week/beginning of next. I hope you hear good news soon! I have my fingers crossed for you and send good vibes your way. Keep telling yourself "No news is good news."
  15. If any of you poetry applicants out there are waiting to hear from EWU, I just got my call! Good luck y'all and may the force be with you!
  16. I have had similar things happen (with solicitors)...It about gives a person a heart attack! Congrats on the "review" from Bama! I hope it means all good things, Bama has a wicked program. And let another week of waiting commence...
  17. The first time I took the test I didn't study much at all and got average scores, the second time around I studied a little. Since I was applying to MFA programs I didn't focus on studying for math at all really. I looked over a bit of material for maybe 1 to 1 1/2 hours max a couple days before the test. Other than that I downloaded a couple of vocab aps for my iPad and half ass studied on those. Honestly though, for me the full experience of taking the test is more helpful than any amount of studying. I did a lot better but I do not think it was because I studied. The content on the test (as people have already stated) is not that difficult, it is about being able to maintain a steady pace and focused on the test. I think it really comes down to knowing what works best for you. That is not much of an answer, but its the truth. GOOD LUCK!
  18. Here's to a weekend in which we will all probably hear absolutely nothing (unless snail mail delivers news)! This may help pass some time though: http://www.dorkly.com/article/59332/there-are-thousands-of-people-trying-to-play-the-same-game-of-pokemon
  19. There is definitely a lack of poetry!!! And I did briefly look into Denver's PhD for poetry, but I was attempting to apply to places that would not be near any of my immediate family members and my sister and her family live about 2 hours outside of Denver. Denver is beautiful (I lived there until I was 8), perhaps later in life I can return? I do think it is awesome they go for non MFA-ers. I am keeping my fingers crossed to get into Cincinnati's BA-PhD program (Utah is a good program too, but I like Cin's way more). I just wish MFA's did not have such a stigma when it comes to going on to a PhD program. I got my BA in History and Sociology so it virtually impossible for me to go get an MA for easier admission into a PhD program. I just don't understand the stigma.
  20. Have you heard from GMU yet? I have a friend that applied for the CNF program and she had an interview for a TA spot a few weeks ago. I am unsure if you applied for a TA spot or not and if any of this is relevant to you, but you might find this info helpful???? Good luck either way, you applied to great programs!
