As someone who finally decided to give it a whirl, I find this information extremely useful. I fear rejection the way some people fear clowns. Thank you for your encouragement.

It is 3 years instead of 2, and has more of an intellectual focus than some. And Chris Bachelder, Sabina Murray and Noy Holland, the fiction faculty there, are all wonderful. The reading series is great as well. If I were applying this year, I’d definitely have them on my list.

For some reason, my undergraduate degree in film never convinced them that my path strays far from the traditional Korean’s!

I’ll be in touch when I apply. I’m looking at schools that provide funding too. Perhaps this is already answered in another post, but what is UMass Amherst’s program like?
