Yo cometi par de novatadas. Re-solicitare, pero para Maestria (aunque me endeude hasta el fin o la eternidad). Estoy en las de Re Re Re. Revolviendo y releyendo. My two cents: Mirar el curriculo del programa no es suficiente. Baidewei: Si conocen de algun programa/profesor/a que tenga tendencias "filosoficas" en sus acercamientos a la poesia/cuentos cortos, me avisa. Pueden incluir el erotismo y el girl power en sus sugerencias. Gracias. LoLu

Gracias Juan Pablo. El viernes tuve tiempo y verifiqué un poco más, precisamente esas fueron mis dos opciones (el website de Brooklyn College no funciona). Igual vi otras universidades, pero sus programas de maestría no empiezan en febrero y estoy desesperada por volver a estudiar. Llevo un año mirando paredes. Sobre el interés, pasa en todos lados. Acá la mayoría se conforma con ser maestr@s de español y con tomar par de créditos en Educación mientras hacen el bachillerato. Lo logran y ya fueron.

gente (sobre todo los del Area de NY), ¿los programas de maestrIa del sistema pUblico (hunter, brooklyn) tienen buena reputaciOn? yo sE que la facultad es compartida prActicamente, pero no he visto currIculos como tal. en mi bUsqueda solo me enfoquE en doctorados y solo vi los programas del graduate center. obviamente, me rechazaron y me insistieron en que solicitara la maestria en liberal arts (tienen un "track" en estudios latinoamericanos que incluye literatura)...no lo pensE mucho y redactE otro statement porque no tuve que re-pagar. pensAndolo mejor, casi casi quiero que no me acepten. :/ ((estoy abierta a otras recomendaciones - despuEs que sean universidades estatales y no privadas)) salud!

I've applied to CUNY's MALS program too (like two weeks ago) after being rejected for the Phd in Hispanic & Luso-Brazilian Literature blah blah blah blah. The "priority" deadline ends in April 15, so I suppose its too early to wait for an acceptance/rejection. (unless you applied before november, lol) congrats to the people that got accepted!

a mi me rechazaron para el phd en el cuny, pero me instaron a que solicitara la maestria y ando -otra vez- en espera. exito al resto. Lolu

are you sure? do you know someone that has been accepted/rejected/waitlisted? i havent heard a thing...i think i'm not screwed yet.

So I'm screwed. Bleh.

al menos tienes ofertas en otras universidades Baccarat, mucho éxito! mi problema: no tengo ninguna referencia (solo el survey del año pasado, o sea, dos personas que ni tan siquiera comentaron algo por aca) y no conozco a nadie que haya solicitado ahora. mood: bien jodida.

aunque tiene lógica, no es necesariamente así. hay personas que han sido aceptadas a finales de marzo (juzgando por los resultados de la encuesta de acá). aparte, qué piensan de comunicarse con el departamento para ver en qué onda andan con las solicitudes? estoy desesperada y a punto de 'emailear' al CUNY!

BRAVO, Armadilla. msafiri? who's msafiri? I've learned to not take personally every offensive comment I see on the internet. A person who just "hunts for the $$$" (see msafiri's program) does not deserve a single response. I'm more worried for the initial poster (is that a correct term?) who seemed genuinely concerned about grading non-native english speakers and the whole "accent" thing.

People, when were your deadlines? Mine was January 15 and I'm freaking out. And from this forum, I think I'm the only one who applied to Hispanic Lit at CUNY. I know it's been only a month, but I have no idea how CUNY processes the acceptances/rejections/waitlistings.

gracie123: There are professors and there are PROFESSORS. Love the video, wildviolet. Although, we also have some letters with the same sound in specific cases.

He reminds me of Before Night Falls, but honestly i haven't read anything from him. I'm more into southamerican contemporary poetry, the right mix of surrealism+existencialism+"innovating techniques-aesthetic" (more of a french influence, like almost everything). Although, I don't mind taking a sexual approach and use Bataille to explain erotic verses of a recent puertorrican writer. I guess that's my problem, not having an specific time or theme or literary theory to pursue something. I am absolutely sure that I will not study anything from the colonial era. I hate it. Poems have to inspire me in any weird way so I can try and figure out a possible explanation/interpretation. That's my only goal. Hello, I used Bajtin and Nietzsche to explain Alejandra Pizarnik's delusions. How crazy is that?

which author? i'm curious.

painfully inspiring, comfortably numb, it sounds like fun! (and artistic, of course).

another brown "rejectee". dont you find funny the print option? who wants to print a rejection? to burn it later?

thanks for clarifying it. i thought the first cuts were made by some sort of college graduate commitee and then the faculty. sorry, my english is a mess...i did finished it 4 years after dropping out...i took a looong break.

having a 0% of an acceptance right now, i was wondering (and it's kind of a stupid question)...how the hell do universities process all the applicants? i mean, does the department in which we are applying for has a vote before the graduate commitee rejects us? i know is off-topic, but i need some hope. i'm talented, but i dropped out of college before finishing my BA and i'm thinking that might scare a bit.

me too. bummer. cuando vi el email, lo sabia. ahora me queda CUNY.

is it latin? seriously?!

drinking cupcakes+eating wine=genius.

gracias! lo sé, pero me desespera...considerando que mandé todo el papeleo el último día (15 de enero), pues sí, exagero.

felicidades (des)estresada! han llamado a todo el mundo menos a mi. que bien me siento!

whaaaaaaaaaaat?! i'm excited! how do you know? reviewing the websites, i think maybe i have a chance in CUNY...one of the "craziest" writers from PR had graduated there, coincidentally, the last book that i bought is from him...weird. -trying to get my hopes up- congrats cafeomuerte!

couldnt agree more. nevertheless, congrats to the geniuses that have been selected so far.
