What up people. I was accepted to the University of Maryland's MFA program last go around and have been there for the better part of 1 semester. Pros: $18,000 total stipend with fellowship, TUITION IS FREE!!! Cool folks in the cohort right now, 10 total for all three years. Cons: this part of the united states sucks ass, but also that could just be my perspective. You need a car if u wanna hit up Baltimore...DC seems hella stiff. Rent is about 650-1000 a month out here As a brown dude from Texas I'm real disappointed with the lack of diversity in the program, it's just me n another grad out of 10 who are POC. Also I've had some wack interactions with 2 faculty, that said there are some dope ass faculty and humans here. That said...if youre committed to ur studio practice and have a good self care routine, you'll do good out here. Feel free to reach out if u have any questions

Howdy, I'm attending in fall 2019 also! nice to meet yall.

Anyone apply to the U of Maryland?

Although its for Creative Writing MFAs, still so accurate! https://themfayears.com/2015/03/23/so-you-didnt-get-accepted-into-an-mfa-program/

Damn, just got rejected by UCI and I am starting to realize how much a blessing rejection is. Getting comfortable with that seems like it'll be a super power. Shout out to all those with rejection in their emails, gonna get bulletproof

Was this for all concentrations?

Shout out to all yall! You are worth it! This process is dehumanizing, you are beautiful, Please Keep making work! Holler at Ya boy, Martin

Ive been watching from the sidelines on this forum and not participating, but I got this too. It seems that there is a seperate category for applicants aside from students...but iunno...I was like whaaaaaat when i saw the email. I'm tryna forget about it in the meantime tho
