brb going to cry

lol same... do we know if it's for poetry or fiction?

when do vanderbilt results come out? like 2/20 right?

no news from JH or vanderbilt?

Lol I wanted to apply to Cornell but they were so inflexible with my language situation that I just got frustrated and didn't go through with the application. I completed all my schooling at English-speaking institutions in Italy and didn't see the point in taking a 270 euro language test...

amazing thanks!

hi hi! do you know who i can contact for the Draft Facebook group? my membership has been pending for about three weeks now... thank you!

hi there! i have the same, not sure if it implies anything though...

hi all! been lurking for quite some time and finally posting! this is my first time applying to an mfa, and to a us university in general, as i am straight out of an economics degree at bocconi (milan, italy). i was wondering if anyone had any idea of my chances getting in, as an international student who's relatively young (22 y/o). i applied to NYU, brown, vanderbilt, michener and JHU. it's not a very big list, but the process was so overwhelming that i feel i couldn't have managed any more! my pieces are emotionally tolling and my statements show drive and commitment, but at the same time I have no publications nor any experience whatsoever in the field, and my rec letters come from quite famous (albeit, italian) authors. i don't know if there is any statistic regarding international applicants and if their backgrounds is a factor taken into consideration. any help is appreciated, if anything to soothe my anxiety. good luck to all!
