MFA: The Acceptance

I wrote about how I applied for early admission into Queens’ MFA program a couple of weeks ago (to begin in the summer of 2020). Well, Fred Leebron, the director of the program at Queens, called me Friday afternoon and made the official offer. Queens is/was my top choice—seriously, it matches all the things I’m looking for in a program with top-notch faculty, proven success, and a structure that works for my family and I. So, it’s safe to say I’ve pretty much been ecstatic all weekend.

Fred Leebron was extremely kind and welcoming. He talked about my sample and had such kind things to say. The conversations was great. He already has faculty in mind that he thinks will fit my style. The faculty at Queens is one thing that drew me there, and to know I’ll be learning from these writers is a feeling that’s hard to describe.

I’ll have more to say when I get some more information and actually get going. For now, I’m stoked!
