Likewise, I will be applying for Fall 2017 Masters degree in Creative Nonfiction. I have my CV pretty much revised and polished after many drafts.
My academic adviser and the writing lab at my current school are looking it over and helping me polish it further during the summer.
My Statement of Purpose is the one that is causing me some trouble. It must be "perfect" so it is the cause of much stress in my life.
My first application is not due until December 5th 2016. Then January, February, March and July 2017. So I have plenty of time.
I decided to simply cut all programs that required a GRE. This has reduced my stress load significantly. And, I still have 6 schools on my list that offer
teaching assistant positions.
I have performed allot of research on numerous universities all over the USA! I feel that my decision to compromise some wants and desires was the right way to go. My list of schools now contains ( 6) MA Creative Nonfiction programs that I know I have a high chance of being accepted due to my experience and skills.
