"We had a blast," says Murarka. "Everyone who went...
...confidence to apply, the odds of selection to the program are in fact not as tough as one might think. “We actually took more than half of the applicants this year,” Watson said. He also said the program could potentially help students develop contacts in the literary world. “The instructor is going to have some contacts and try to get [the thesis] out there,” he said, but “not all students are ready...
