And... If you go over or under on page or word count will it hurt your application? The answer to the first question is simple. Writing samples are the single greatest factor in getting into a Creative Writing MFA program. There are other factors, obviously, but as far as key things an admission committee will weigh, the writing sample is far and away the most important part of an application. The second question is a little harder to answer but the best advice is to go under but do not go over if at all possible. ]]> http://www.creative-writing-mfa.org/writing-samples-for-mfa-applications/feed/ 0 http://www.creative-writing-mfa.org/mfa-deadlines-loom/ http://www.creative-writing-mfa.org/mfa-deadlines-loom/#comments Thu, 07 Jan 2010 16:22:35 +0000 Rocky http://www.creative-writing-mfa.org/?p=88 http://www.creative-writing-mfa.org/mfa-deadlines-loom/feed/ 0 http://www.creative-writing-mfa.org/seven-things-i-learned-in-a-creative-writing-mfa-program/ http://www.creative-writing-mfa.org/seven-things-i-learned-in-a-creative-writing-mfa-program/#comments Tue, 08 Dec 2009 19:55:53 +0000 Rocky http://www.creative-writing-mfa.org/?p=58 http://www.creative-writing-mfa.org/seven-things-i-learned-in-a-creative-writing-mfa-program/feed/ 0 http://www.creative-writing-mfa.org/how-a-technique-stephenie-meyer-used-in-writing-her-twilight-novels-can-help-your-writing/ http://www.creative-writing-mfa.org/how-a-technique-stephenie-meyer-used-in-writing-her-twilight-novels-can-help-your-writing/#comments Thu, 03 Dec 2009 19:53:40 +0000 Rocky http://www.creative-writing-mfa.org/?p=41 http://www.creative-writing-mfa.org/how-a-technique-stephenie-meyer-used-in-writing-her-twilight-novels-can-help-your-writing/feed/ 0 http://www.creative-writing-mfa.org/applying-to-a-creative-writing-mfa-program/ http://www.creative-writing-mfa.org/applying-to-a-creative-writing-mfa-program/#comments Thu, 03 Dec 2009 18:06:23 +0000 Rocky http://www.creative-writing-mfa.org/?p=36 http://www.creative-writing-mfa.org/applying-to-a-creative-writing-mfa-program/feed/ 0 http://www.creative-writing-mfa.org/how-to-select-the-right-mfa-program-for-you/ http://www.creative-writing-mfa.org/how-to-select-the-right-mfa-program-for-you/#comments Thu, 03 Dec 2009 09:16:52 +0000 Rocky http://www.creative-writing-mfa.org/?p=33 http://www.creative-writing-mfa.org/how-to-select-the-right-mfa-program-for-you/feed/ 0 http://www.creative-writing-mfa.org/the-benefits-of-an-mfa-in-creative-writing/ http://www.creative-writing-mfa.org/the-benefits-of-an-mfa-in-creative-writing/#comments Thu, 03 Dec 2009 06:27:01 +0000 Rocky http://www.creative-writing-mfa.org/?p=24 http://www.creative-writing-mfa.org/the-benefits-of-an-mfa-in-creative-writing/feed/ 0
