<p>JHS, I contacted them first because they have a note on their website saying that the KWH has away in admissions for candidates they identify as quality writers. I’ve been in communication with the woman who runs recruitment for te KWH and I sent her my portfolio. </p>
<p>I don’t think they endorse everyone and, since I was the first to reach out and was thus already an applicant, I don’t think it’s marketing. The NYTimes article said that ~45 people get to that stage of “candidate of significant interest,” so that makes me think that this isn’t something that happens to everyone and means nothing. </p>
<p>I could be totally off, though. </p>
<p>I’d love to hear if anyone know of someone who was recommended and then didn’t get in.</p>
