Double Digits

As of this afternoon I have officially been rejected by ten schools in my three year pursuit of an MFA. This number reflects individual institutions (rather than programs) and does not include multiple applications (having applied to various MICA programs each of the past three years). At present there are still two pending applications (MICA and SUNY Brockport) and one instance of being listed as an alternate (Alfred), as such there is still a very real potential for even greater levels of rejection. I would like to thank all of you for helping me to make this day possible, you're continued support has meant a great deal to me, and I'd like to celebrate this momentous occasion with drinks tonight at Birds of a Feather.
