hi everyone! thought i'd chime in since i'm applying / have applied to programs for fall 2017, too. i have 3 applications left (2 due this sunday), but overall i'm applying to 13 schools. mostly poetry. brown (my top choice!), umass amherst, nyu, columbia, sarah lawrence, pratt, cornell, university of new mexico, wisconsin, umich, mills, uc riverside, and uw bothell. it's all been so very stressful, and it looks like it's going to continue to be horrible, but oh well... i'd love to commiserate with other folks!!
