I knew UVA was the right place for me when I emailed questions to four current students and received informative, enthusiastic replies from all of them within hours; what they said in those emails helped me make my decision. When I received an offer a couple of weeks later, I accepted.
The MFA Years will follow 12 first-year creative writing MFAs in poetry, fiction, and nonfiction through their time in graduate school. I hope we'll be able to shed some light on the creative writing MFA application process, MFA writing workshops, teaching, and anything else that pops up along the way. In addition to our regular contributors, we're looking for other creative writing MFA students to guest post on the blog and share insights into the programs they're attending.
