So, for fiction, the general advice is: be traditional. When it comes to poetry, I've seen some say that advice goes out the window. Agree or disagree?

Thanks guys for the support. I was living with my family over the past year which is why I couldn't apply for the income restricted waivers. Here' s to trying again…

You don't have to take it, but it does the number of programs you can apply to. Also, if you can get a decent score, you'll be much more likely to get a teaching assistantship at certain schools (esp. certain public schools).
I hear you on being strapped for cash. I had to put part of my applications on a credit card and I'm not going to finish paying them off until next month. That said, I applied to 10 programs. It's worth it though--an investment for a livable wage over the period of you mfa (and no debt!).
I think I'm too conscious of my financial status to risk putting even one application on a credit card.
:-( I just really hate being in the red. I'll probably do one or two more this year, but I don't think I can swing more than five, honestly.

Rejected 3/3 and I'm done for this year
It's kind of okay because I switched my focus and aesthetic dramatically over the past year but still... :/
Spending the money hurt! Granted, I didn't even take the GRE… Should I? I'm kind of strapped.

Congrats to everyone who got in. I only have Brown left in my rotation. Anyone know when they're gonna send them out?

What about you? This your first time? Or are you a repeat offender?
First time, although looking back I would have done things differently.

I'll respond to a couple of posts directed at me later after work, but I just came in to say to the person that posted that fake Brown result: GOD WILL JUDGE YOU SOMEDAY!
And sorry about the rejections. I'm preparing for whatever next week brings -- I'm gonna stack up on kleenex this weekend. I AM STRONG; I CAN HANDLE IT! *war dance*
How do you know it's fake? I smiled when I saw it lol.

Is there even a point in applying to the same programs again? Seeing my rejection letters only flashes the amount of money I spent back at me. :-(
I'm also wondering if my previously published material had been factored into the decisions by the admissions committee… Maybe they saw something they didn't like.
Man, it just sucks.
Is Iowa all done already, by the way?

Do you happen to know of a list of places that details which schools are experimental and which are not?
