<p>Hello! This is my first and, what I believe, my most important question to ask on the forums. It is regarding the Creative Writing Program at the University of Pennsylvania. I plan to be an author, a novelist to be exact, in the future. I have intended to do so ever since I was three years old. In other words, there is NO WAY that I'll want to change my major once I'm in college. I have, therefore, been trying to pick colleges based solidly on their Creative Writing Program. I stumbled upon UPenn's and have been having a hard time getting solid data about the program. Can you guys help out? Is there anything out there better for me (as an UNDERGRAD) in order to ensure a successful future in Creative Writing? Can anyone tell me a little bit about the program in genera?l Even if you aren't on the Creative Writer's track, can you tell me what you've heard?</p>
<p>Thank you in advance!</p>
