The first step has been taken.
A couple weeks ago, Jules applied to 50 residencies around the country. We're applying mostly to community based programs (as apposed to university programs which are more academic, competitive and cut-throat). Most of the programs are on the east coast, ranging from South Carolina and Kentucky all the way up to Maine. We also have random programs in places like Seattle, Pheonix, Salt Lake City and Dallas.
Now we just wait as programs invite Jules to interview. We've heard from about 10 programs so far, but none of our top picks yet. The best programs can afford to wait a bit before offering interviews because they know people will bake room for them.
Interviews will be in November and December.
Lots of waiting in this process!
