Hi everyone! I'm a senior in college applying for a Fiction MFA! I've been stressing about this for the past couple years but I think I have my submission packet pretty close to where it needs to be. After a certain point I've accepted that my best is all that I can do, and there's no point worrying myself about it. So cool to hear from other folks who have already made it into MFAs; living the dream, lol! I'm applying to 24 different programs. I know it's a lot (the submission fees alone are gonna be like $1500 probably) but I'm lucky enough to be in a position where I'm living with my parents so I don't have a lot of bills and I have quite a bit of money saved up from working part time. I figure now is the time to cast a super-wide net while I have the resources, the freshest connections to my recommenders, and the cash to do so. It's no big deal if I have to apply again next year, but my submission pool will probably have to be a lot smaller as I'd like to start living on my own by then. In any case, I wish y'all the best and I'm excited to have this space to freak out in as December gets closer.
