Well, you were right. When timlockridge posted that new rankings were available I went right over to USNews website and bought the new 2006 grad school rankings (there was no way to tell from the site what programs were included without forking over the cc#). Then, after searching the site and finding absolutely nothing, I sent them an email asking whether the writing program rankings had been updated, and requesting a refund if they hadn't. Here's their response:
Unfortunately we no longer rank creative writing. The last time we did so was in 1997 and you can find most of these rankings in local libraries. If you have purchased the product and would like a refund you can email refunds@usnews.com Regards, Webmaster So, there you have it. I already know where I intend to apply, so it doesn't really matter. I've been reading this board and researching writers at various programs for over a year now, but still, I was curious to see what USNews would make of some of the things that are going on in MFA Academia (like Samantha Chang newly in charge at Iowa, the well-funded Texas programs, etc. . .)
