hey all! I'm CNF, back for another round. last year, I applied to 11 programs and ended up with two acceptances that just weren't the right fit. I was also waitlisted at my top choice and then later rejected.
this year, I applied to 6 schools, and three are ones I applied to last year. I've updated my sample since last year and grown a lot as a writer/artist but for my sample, I primarily have kept one essay in that I significantly revised from last year, and I'm nervous about this specifically for the school that waitlisted me last year. also keep having nagging thoughts about if I don't get in this year, then I'm going to regret not just accepting one of the two offers I got last year. ugh.
wanted to hop on to express solidarity and support to those still finishing up apps/beginning the waiting game. we've got this, y'all, the hardest part is *mostly* over, and I'm rooting for all of you.
