<p>Does anyone know if the New England Young Writers’ Conference at the Bread Loaf Campus at Middlebury (the 4 day conference) is competitive/prestigious?</p>

<p>Does it look good on a college application?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>No, and not really.</p>

<p>Funny how the homepage says, “Applications for 2011 must be postmarked by November 18th, 2009!”</p>

<p>The application page says it is taking place in May 2010 but the 2011 registration deadline was November 2010.</p>

<p>It looks like you’re out of luck, no matter how you interpret this madness.</p>

<p>Dear Term of Service809 - Unfortunately, the website is a little muddled, but the conference is alive & well - I spoke with the director last week. She contacts the applicants and attendees via mail and private e-mail. You may also reach her by phone & e-mail. </p>

<p>Also, I will say Yes & Yes to your questions; IMHO, if the school was good enough for Robert Frost, (and quite a list of other highly regarded authors), it’s good enough for my students! Best wishes -</p>
