Not applying for a science degree, but my Secret Plot to Amuse Myself and Make Potential MFA Program Directors/Teachers Know My Name is that I have sent some of them submission packets to consider for the lit magazines each school publishes. None of them have been taken by those schools, but I know that if the professors who work on the literary magazine also have any insight on admissions (and MFA programs are usually small so they probably do) then my name will already be a little familiar to them, even if I'm not remembered, and best case is they will remember either me or the poems I already sent them, and have a positive impression.
