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?

Do you want to chat online or speak on the phone sometime? I have unlimited long distance (as long as you're in the U.S. -- I think you are) and it may help to speak directly so we can have a back and forth about particulars. If not, no worries -- I can give a condensed version in comments.

Thanks so much for your offer of help; I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. I'd love to chat online--I suck at the phone and would just grunt at you a lot (ask Sue!). I'm jsunshiny on AIM, but if you have another messenger I can install it. Um, if you want to say a time any time is fine with me.
Thanks again!

Oh good -- chatting it is, then. I'll add you on AIM the next time I'm on it. I've been forgetting to use that chat client because I stopped my AOL service. Oh, and on AIM, I'm ezbake88. I'm also on gmail chat as entrenous88 (and with that same name, on YIM).
Today and the next are busy, but maybe sometime this weekend we can connect. If we don't end up catching one another in the next few days, let's make a more specific plan, if that sounds good.

That sounds excellent! I'm joy.tkp on gmail. I'll probably see you on there this weekend. Thanks so much, hon; this means a lot to me.
