tonydoesmovie Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) So, tomorrow is the day. For everyone already accepted, congratulations. To those on waitlists, also congratulations. Let us all remember that whether our acceptance was last year, is this year, or will be next year, we are all in this together. Support and learn from one another in our successes and failures. For those of us sitting in a heap of rejections, let us learn from our mistakes and from the mistakes of those that were successful. Seek guidance and do your best at not letting jealousy breed in your heart. We are all in this together. Our failure today was the same failure of others last season. Support, love, and be kind. We are all in this together. Edited April 14, 2017 by tonydoesmovie premature posting syndrome Sleam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonydoesmovie Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Has there been enough time to discuss things we've learned, mistakes we've made, advice moving forward, knowledge to pass on to those of us here now, or those who will join us, in applying for the next cycle?

I think, for me, the lesson I learned is that I can't base the value of my work on the opinions of a few schools. After a few rejections, I wound up getting into my first choice and I've had the best time just looking at classes, connecting with my future cohort, etc. But damn if I didn't feel like giving up--on writing, not just schools--after the first rejection. I remember telling my partner I should just abandon this pipe dream. So if you've been turned down, or didn't get into your first, second, etc choice I say continue not just to write but to believe in the value of what you're doing. Art is necessary, and you're a part of that need. tonydoesmovie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
