UNLV is rejecting...

Looks like someone posted an acceptance from Denver. Anyone here?? Congrats!!

Is that the first cw Ph.D. notification we know of?

I was told by my advisor, who was the program director, and received a Ph.D. in cw from Utah, that Ph.D.'s (at the very least Utah) look really hard at publications. Shows writerly professionalism and determination and whatnot. And, to a small extent, confirms you are a good, respected writer to the committee. All that said, I hope it is 95% creative sample and my advisor was just pushing me to get published.

In the case of James Franco: Sucking up creative film rights to all sorts of novels. One being BLOOD MERIDIAN that jerk.

Here's my list, and it may be wrong: Publications, creative writing sample, extra cirricular (ie James Franco), transcripts, critical writing sample, recommendations, gre, teaching experience, lit gre. But whatever, waiting sucks.

I do wonder how much the Critical Writing Sample matters... I know some programs require multiple hard copies of both Critical and Creative Writing Samples. Anyways!

How many and of what quality of publications did you list when you applied to CW Ph.D.'s? Sorry, again, sizing up the competition. But, I love all you!

Hi all. Just joined today after a couple of weeks of not being able to stand the wait. I applied to UIC, SUNY Albany, USC, and DU. I'm curious about GRE and Lit GRE scores... Did everyone else do fine on the GRE but bomb the Lit GRE? If so, thank God.
