Good morning everyone! Found this website a week ago, and thought I'd finally join the party lol. A lil about me: I'm a late bloomer when it comes to higher education, didn't start my undergrad until I was 27 (now 32). Before then I spent my youth working at a music shop and screaming in punk bands. My undergrad was in photography and bookmaking, but my real passion for as long as I can remember has been writing poetry. A few years ago I was fortunate enough to befriend a poetry professor who thinks I should be published, and they've been guiding me in fine tuning pieces to submit for publication, but so far no luck. Hence here I am with one rejection from Cornell and six more schools to go (U Mich, Brown, Sarah Lawrence, U Maryland, U Pittsburgh, Emerson). I wish I could have applied to more programs to increase my chances, but I am a transgender woman, so most of the country is now off limits for me, especially here in Florida where I'm currently stuck and my access to healthcare has been effectively cut off. Praying graduate school saves me from the swamp!
Congrats to those who have received acceptances and waitlists! And may the rest of us hold onto our sanity lol
Yes, I'm waiting on Oregon State! One fiction acceptance so far in the sheet. I was told they give one acceptance earlier than the others so they can be nominated for a fellowship. Here's hoping!
