Ask a guy who didn't get accepted into any of the graduate schools he applied to, and has also amassed a decent number of rejections from various literary magazines, anything.

Wow, you're every creative writing major ever.

This is why you double major.

Probably bad.

But the people in your workshop group will like your memoir about drinking or that time you were almost raped no matter how poorly it's written, so you'll think you're a good writer even if your GPA is shit.

Was looking for a number. That might have a reason as to why you were rejected.

He'd be hotter if he'd stop nutting up in Grand Slam finals and finally fucking win one.

3.01 on a 4.0 scale. Though I assume that glowing reference letters, strong writing samples, and publications matter more than raw GPA.

Then again, I didn't get into any graduate schools, so I could be wrong.

did you majored in humanities?? and still get 3.0

LOL what a fag. you are worthless.

>> No.1617919

>>1617910
i mean.. if you earned a BA.. it means that most of your classes involve writing essays.. And probably you werent a good writer, thats why you got 3.0 GPA.

This might say something about your writing samples... im sure they suck too..


So yeah, you are pretty much fucked up with a useless BA degree and 50k of debt.

Yeah... I'm currently 3.8 (A- average) and I still feel inadequate. If I had to apply for MFA Programs (god forbid) with a 3.0, I'd shit enough bricks to build the tower of Babel and then jump off.

>> No.1617934

>>1617919
I got a 3.0 because I don't really care about grades all that much.

Also, not sure if you're trolling the right guy here. I'm already upset about things in general, so you're not exactly going to make my mood any worse, chief.

I assume you can type?

well, with literature maybe it is difficult to communicate your creative vision to the examiners by the work alone. maybe you can write something to accompany the piece if you have a good vision

>> No.1617945

>>1617932
I feel you. I'm batting a 3.7 in my accounting program and still feel beyond inadequate. Even with a top 25 program, it just feels like I failed at making it into Grads. I still have hopes, but they are fading.
