1 - kita said that too. Most of the stuff I've read says to apply to like 10, but that is for Creative Writing. Creative Writing programs are *very* selective, and most the stuff say you should apply to that many just to make sure you might actually get into one. Gah. I don't know what to do about that now!
2 - teach and write! Okay, cool, thanks.
3 - Yes, location is definitely a huge issue on the pros/cons of the schools I'm looking at. My s-i-l is at a grad program in Gainsville, Florida right now. It's an excellent program, and despite some of the attitudes of the people there it's exactly what she wanted academically. But she HATES Gainsville, and so does my brother, her husband. However I'm thinking of applying there because the location scores high points for having him and her around. I would be happy living anywhere with them, I think.
Thank you so much. I'll definitely take into consideration the things you've said!
Good luck in making what may be the most important decision in your life.
