flamingohotel replied to your post: I’m feeling sad as hell about my future today,...
would it be possible to try for it the following year if you don’t think it’s worth the risk right now? I know it’s not ideal to wait, but maybe with some time to plan for the GRE and around the insurance situation, it sounds like it’d be a good deal. and I know it seems like all of this is beating you down, but you are still young and sometimes the path isn’t a straight one. I hope things work out for you
this breaking news just in: I looked up my old GRE scores from back in 2014 when I had delusions of grandeur about attending LSU in Baton Rouge, and not only are my test scores still valid inside the five-year window, they also meet the MFA program’s current requirements (!!!!!!!) I just about screamed when I pulled them up a few minutes ago. I remembered them being a lot worse than they are.
so, I will apply this year. I’m going to do it and we will see what happens. the next hurdle is getting three letters of recommendation because I only stayed in touch with one college professor :( .....perhaps some of my cherished high school teachers would step in with a good word, since I had a positive relationship with them through writing and literature.
I definitely feel beat down, dude. I’ve felt beat down for many years with all this stuff, but at least this is a plausible option and route I can take if it works out for the better. I guess you never know until you try!
