What’s up guys, I’m a high-school junior and am thinking about majoring in Creative Writing. I hear that BU has the best CW MFA program ever, but undergraduate doesn’t offer creative writing concentration… Another thing is I live in South Florida and really want to attend the University of Miami for my undergrad studies. So for now I plan to major in English/Creative Writing at UM and transfer to BU afterward.

(Looking into copywriting/editing, possibly freelance during)

My questions are:
-How awesome would I need to be to get accepted into BU’s creative writing program?
-How does UM stand academically to other universities? Especially someone coming from their English department?
-What’s Boston University like in general? =)

Thanks a lot in advance.
