I’m finishing my MA now! It’s been a tremendous time—my particular program functions very similarly to an MFA program and my work has been radically changed by it! I got into two MFA programs this year, BU and MICA, and not sure if I’m going yet because of unrelated life things, but I feel like it did wonders for my applications. I applied to MFA programs a couple of years ago and didn’t get in anywhere, and looking back now I can see I would’ve needed a lot of hand holding in any program, whereas now my practice feels more developed and I feel like I could do awesome things in an MFA program. This is just my experience, of course, but I am soooooo grateful to be getting my MA before my MFA!

did anyone reply to any residencies? I just got waitlisted at Chautauqua and I’m wondering how often people get off those waitlists
