Help? If possible.
This year I am reapplying to grad school. I'm applying to all the schools to be admitted into two different programs: the Creative Writing MFA and the English MA. I feel like if I don't get into the former I probably have more of a chance with the latter. So far, the schools I'm applying to are:
Washington University in St Louis, University of Florida, University of Texas, New York University, University of Houston, Saint Mary's College of California.
I'm also looking into University of Michigan, Otis College of Art and Design, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, University of Notre Dame, University of New Orleans, Emerson College, University of Massachusetts at Amherst, University of New Hampshire, Rutgers University, City College of New York, The New School, Sarah Lawrence College, Syracuse University, Ohio State University, Chatham University, University of Pittsburgh, University of South Carolina, Vanderbuilt University, Goddard College, George Mason University, Hollins University, University of Virginia, Virginia Tech, anywhere that does MFAs in Creative Writing in Alaska, University of New Brunswick, University of British Columbia anywhere that does MFAs in Creative Writing in Canada, University of East Anglia in the UK, anywhere that does MFAs in Creative Writing in any English speaking country such as the UK, Australia, or New Zealand, and English MA programs anywhere in Europe, particularly the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Poland, and English MA programs anywhere in the world, including Argentina, South Africa, India, China, Russia, and Egypt.
Um, so. The purpose of this post is to ask if anyone has any advice on any of these universities, any of these locations, any English MA programs, any Creative Writing MFA programs, any grad programs, getting into grad programs, writing portfolios, and stuff. I'm just trying to gather any info I can on the process of choosing and applying, as I have failed so spectacularly in the past.
So how 'bout that Buffy 6 comic?

Also, I want you to move to Chicago, but that's neither here nor there. You and Fod should make a support group.

I can't believe how stressful this is. I've tried twice and gotten rejected, and I am *so* unused to getting rejected that it makes me feel like it's pointless to try. Which is so stupid, femme. I especially because before I've always thought I was so headstrong and never give up and try try try again.
I've been wigging about this for years, and for this past month it's felt like it's come to a head and I've never been this much of an emotional wreck before as I have been this past month. And now I'm spilling my guts, but now that I've done this post I just feel so much more hopeful.
It's funny how much some of the schools I'm thinking about applying to are influenced by people I know being in the area. I was thinking of you when I was thinking of the Chicago Art Institute. My mom did an art workshop there this summer and she said Chicago rocked her mommy socks.

When I imagine an academia filled with mes and Fods I catch my breath. Although imagining more than one me is kind of overwhelming, a bit. :P
I just...I think you are so brave to be persevering. And I'm so glad that you are. I'm also so glad that yourself to support from all of us. Rejection might well be my biggest fear. I'm not sure.
But places that wouldn't want you...I don't think I'd want you there, or you'd want you there. That's a platitude but I just. That's how I try to deal with rejection personally.
