I missed the deadline to apply for a MFA program (July 15), so I have to wait until next year. I was wondering if I enroll at my college and earn another BA if it will look bad? I’ve always wanted to learn a new language like Spanish, so I was thinking of getting a BA in Spanish since it’s only 30 credits to earn another BA instead of 120 credits, and should only take a year to complete.

I guess what I’m trying to say is if it will look like I’m unfocused if I have a BA in English Lit, a BA in Film, and then a BA in Spanish. Will the admissions people for the MFA in Creative Writing program I’m applying to find that strange and think I’m unfocused? Please help!

Thank You.
I spoke with the director of the undergrad spanish program at my old college and she told me it’s possible to complete the degree in 1 year this way:
Fall term (Sept-Dec): 12 credits
Winter term (Jan-May): 15 credits:
Spring term (May-July): 3 credits

and since my late grandpa left me money for school, money is not an issue. the only thing that’s preventing me is what graduate schools will think of me cause I have so many unrelated BA’s! Help!

I wish to become a writer and am trying to figure out whats the best college to go to.
I live in Georgia, but I would prefer to go to a college somewhere else (perhaps New York). And for the most part, money is NOT a problem, so lets not worry about that.

I really, really want to get into a good creative writing college, but I can’t find any real answers online. I’d like them to be located in the south east section of the United States (by or even in Georgia). Best answer goes to whoever . . . gives me the best answer :)

I have a blog, but its 8 pages of text in size 10 1.5 spacing. Its a lot to put on a blog, also I’m using my blog for a class right now, so thats complicated. I’ve tried writing.com but they want you to have a premium account to post .doc files.

I already published a poetry book last year/ and I’m working on publishing my novel. I never took any creative writing courses because they were always in the evening and I don’t have a car. Please someone help!!! I intend on sharing my talent and passion with the world and or those who will like it.

I was asked to bring in samples of my writing for a job interview. What do I take if I’ve never worked at an agency? In my resume I have listed that I’ve won a few creative writing awards. Do I take those? Eventhough they were 5+ years ago. I’ve also written for some online zines. Are they only looking for ad copy?
