Four more schools to go, (Irvine, Montana, Johns Hopkins, and Oregon), two of which have already begun notifying acceptances a few days ago. It could happen. Maybe.
We’re already discussing Plan B: either staying and applying again next year, or moving anyway, and then applying to Low Residency programs from wherever we are. There are pros and cons to both options.
Plan B also involves a consolation beach trip.
If we wait until the notification season is completely over to plan a consolation vacation for April, it’ll be too late for advance booking fares, so we’re giving it another week, and then we’ll book a flight to some hot tropical beach somewhere. Staying on the beach is a must, as is easy access to frosty beverages and good eats. The rest is negotiable. We were thinking Puerto Vallarta, but we’re flexible. …Any suggestions?

Cancun over PV any day. We went to PV last year and it was really not nearly as awesome, as there had been a huge storm that had messed up the reef and the beach the year before and it would take a long time to recover. Just my $.02.
i had the best shrimp burrito of my life in puerto vallarta. i still remember everything about it, and nothing else about puerto vallarta. but i’m sure wherever you guys go — if you go — will be refreshing.
don’t give up on the full-res MFAs — we e-comrades of the facebook group are all rooting for you!
