I am applying with a background in literature/humanities but not English or cw. My recommenders are all scholars in my field of study and can speak to my academic and to some degree creative skills. However, I wonder if it is gonna hurt my chance if I don’t have someone speaking directly for my creative writing ability… I have taken some workshops but feel the duration is relatively short and I am not sure if I left an impression on mentors for a strong letter. Most of my recommenders have known me for two to four years…

I am also interested to know for fully funded programs and competitive programs in general
if this is gonna be a decisive factor for final deliberation
