Creative Writing

<p>What are some schools with good creative writing programs? I think that creative writing is definitly my main interest, at least at this point, and I am interested in finding out what schools have reputable programs.</p>

<p>For a ballpark on Stats
4.0 UW/4.38 W
Rank Top 3/140
2180 (730, 710, 740 (12 Essay) 1st time)
Bunch of EC's (Crew Captain, Class Treasurer, Etc. for awhile)
I got excepted to the Kenyon Review's Summer Writing Program (I am also wondering how selective this is, I've heard contrasting opinions)</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Kenyon is one of the top CW colleges in the country.</p>

<p>Others:
Bard (a liitle offbeat)
Beloit
Brown
Carnegie Mellon
Columbia
Grinnell
Hamilton
U Iowa
Johns Hopkins
U Michigan
Northwestern
Oberlin
U Oregon
UVA
Wheaton</p>

<p>these are some of the top tier.</p>

<p>These might have good undergrad too.</p>

<p>There's generally no correlation between good CrWr grad programs and undergraduate programs. Iowa, for instance, is the premier graduate program, but NOT a good place for undergraduates to study creative writing.</p>

<p>Any other suggestions then?</p>

<p>Middlebury has the Breadloaf School of English, but it is graduate, I think. I think a good graduate program would be associated with good undergrad. Wouldn't the faculty be the same? How could there NOT be some relationship?</p>

<p>The grad faculty is usually NOT the same as the undergrad faculty. Most of the faculty at MFA programs do not teach undergraduates.</p>

<p>Bowling Green has a good creative writing program, it's one of the oldest in the country.</p>
