I am a current English undergraduate student (graduating this semester) at Coastal Carolina University, interested in applying to the MFA (Creative Writing - Poetry) program at NC State by next February. My current GPA is 3.6, I haven’t taken the GRE yet, but I’m freaking out a bit because MFA programs are generally pretty competitive and CCU is not exactly a tier one school. Generally, I’m looking for any advice to increase my chances and to hear of any current student experience that you all may have.
