Due to the number of applications that our program receives, we cannot meet with potential students, offer campus visits, or critique the writing samples from applications. ODU's MFA in Creative Writing is a small program with no more than ten to twelve students per genre at a time - and for that reason, we sometimes have to reject solid applicants. We urge all applicants to apply to other programs, in addition to ODU's MFA program.
