Adroit Journal Summer Mentorship Program 2019 Thread

@kdm1582 We’ve been delayed slightly, due to receiving nearly 700 apps. We’ll be releasing in early-mid May, but not next week or anything. Stay tuned!

In the meantime, I hope you’ll all check out our 2019 Adroit Prizes for Poetry & Prose! They’re open to high school and college students through 4/30 – judged by Franny Choi and Jamel Brinkley :slight_smile:

@heyimpeter how many people applied last year?

@wistfulwords just over 400 applied last year.

Good luck to everyone who applied! This seems like an incredible opportunity, and I’ll probably try applying next year.

Yes, definitely @winterbourne ^^…glad I randomly found their page, never thought such an opportunity would exist for high school students (but it turns out their program is mostly one of kind, so go figure).

found a typo in my writer’s statement – guess I’m not getting in

I realized so many belated ideas that I glossed over on my statement-- rip. I completely glossed over my love of languages and I wish I could rewrite it!

i’m a FAT hypocrite for saying this, but don’t read your stuff back!!! it doesn’t help at all!!! i know it’s tempting to open the word document and skim it, but trust me, you’re just torturing yourself over something you can’t change and we don’t need that kind of energy in 2019

Results are out!! I got to the last round before being rejected, but I’d love to thank Adroit for this wonderful opportunity.
