How to Get Into a Writing MFA Program
Yo. I’m Snigdha Roy, age 24, and last year, I got into every writing master’s program I applied to: Pacific University, Goddard College, Oregon State University and Columbia University. Here’s how I did it. This is the series of articles I was looking for 14 months ago.
- How to Research Master’s Programs
- How to Apply to Master’s Programs
- How to Find a Writing Master’s Program for POCs
- How to Pick A Master’s Program (Once Accepted) (coming soon)
- In The End (coming soon)
A note: this article stemmed out of “How to Find a Writing Master’s Program for POCs.” I had to write out my entire process to figure out which parts I wound up doing differently, so I thought, “Sure, why not, I’ll just share it all!” If you are wondering why POCs need to do things differently, “MFA vs. POC” by Junot Diaz and “The Student of Color in a Typical MFA Program” by David Mura will have you covered.
So, in the spirit of open source, here we go!
