This forum was the closest thing that I found to what I'm seeking, but I didn't actually apply to an MFA. I did, however, apply to two of MICA's MA programs and have received one decision so far (acceptance to the GD MA). I have specific goals that this track made more sense for, so I'm really, really excited. Their merit scholarship offer is generous. I'm also not geographically mobile at present so having such a great program in my backyard is fortunate.
