I'm glad someone made this thread because I feel as though I've been running around in circles trying to pull everything together in the last few weeks. I'm finishing an undergraduate degree in English Education after having dropped out of school over a decade ago, and I still can't figure out how much of a hindrance that'll be. Furthermore, despite having had a background in fiction workshops and all, I arrived kinda late to the creative nonfiction game for which I'm applying to programs. Deadlines have kept me from applying to a lot of the presumable "top" schools, though I'm still swinging for the fences in a couple of instances, I think.
Thankfully, above anything else, my professor believes I have something to offer at the next level, which I always have to remember when I'm putting my head on my desk and feeling like no one's going to give me a chance.
