    Just the one post on Draft. Nothing else there or here. I live right by campus; maybe I should just walk over there and knock on Bosworth's door.

    Not mine, somebody else's post on Draft. They got in for fiction. Haven't seen any others yet.

    This is what I used for that idea last year:

    Seattle, WA

    If you live roughly along I5, you can totally get by via bus or lightrail. Otherwise it's going to be tough. Seattle transit has a very north-south orientation near Lake Washington, but the western parts of the city require a lot of transferring buses. I certainly wouldn't say having a car is a liability. I've had mine here for 8 years and am thankful to be able to conveniently get to the mountains or the Sound.

    Well, I am currently reading Being and Nothingness, so I'm down with that.

    We've got five in common. Congrats on already getting an acceptance and good luck on the rest!
  29. mrvisser
    Woohoo! Congrats! When I posted about the acceptance on Draft I was hoping you'd have some news. I know you really wanted that one!

    Florida State poetry acceptance on Draft.

    I know nothing about your writing, so as far as I know it could be great or could be absolute shit, but I don't think MFA acceptances should be the absolute barometer of your self-confidence in writing. I think a lot of MFA programs have specific things they're looking for in their students, and there seem to be some general trends in the drab, realism-heavy work that comes out of a lot of these programs. Could be that you just don't fit the mold of some of these ADCOMs. I've seen the work of some people with across-the-board acceptances that I thought was devoid of anything profound or interesting, but ticked all the trendy boxes.
  32. mrvisser
    They do, they just come much later than acceptances and waitlists, typically.
  33. mrvisser
    Ah okay. Oof, January 14 is early. If they're still doing it that way, let's just hope that they're behind on apps compared to last year.
  34. mrvisser
    Was it ever confirmed that anyone heard before their acceptance? I know there was a post on Draft about it, but I only saw evidence on this site that people were scheduling their interviews once they were accepted. I applied to UMass, so hoping some information comes about soon.

    As a Husky alum, I'm legally obligated to say "fuck the Ducks" as emphatically as possible. I hate the Ducks as much as I can hate about anything. Now with that out of the way, Eugene is a lovely town and is home to some of my favorite breweries. I always love making the trip down there.
