New York Univeristy (NYU GSAS)	(English) - Creative Writing MFA, MFA (S18)	Rejected via E-mail on 13 Mar 2018	A	16 Apr 2018	How many others have received spam from NYU's Experimental Humanities MA Program from Bruce Grant based on rejection from MFA program? Makes me wonder if applicant's portfolios even read since MFA is terminal degree, MA is not
CU Boulder	(English, PhD (F18)	Other via E-mail on 16 Apr 2018	A	16 Apr 2018	Just turned down a slot here; hope that helps somebody!

University Of Minnesota	(English, PhD (F18)	Accepted via E-mail on 16 Apr 2018	A	16 Apr 2018	Accepted after two months on the waitlist. I had entirely given up hope and am crazy surprised.
Other	(English) - Creative Writing (Poetry), MFA (F18)	Wait listed via Other on 16 Apr 2018	A	16 Apr 2018	For April 15 agreement schools, if waitlisted applicants have not been provided a status update/acceptance by now, does that mean rejection? Any hope left?
Miami University (of Ohio)	(English), PhD (F18)	Rejected via Phone on 16 Apr 2018	A	16 Apr 2018	I called the department to decline my spot in the waitlist, as I committed to another program last week. I was informed that they've finalized their incoming class and will be sending out letters soon. So, if you haven't heard from them by now, it's a rejection. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
College Of Charleston	(English) - Creative Writing MFA, MFA (F18)	Other via Other on 16 Apr 2018		16 Apr 2018	Still radio silence from CofC. I called weeks ago and was told decisions would be out last week of March. Saw a couple admits a while ago, does anyone know if their protocol is to ghost rejected applicants?
Other	(English) - Creative Writing Fiction MFA, MFA (F18)	Other via Other on 16 Apr 2018	A	16 Apr 2018	That's a wrap. very happy. Turned down College of New Rochelle yesterday if anyone is waiting on funding. I think what they have going on there is truly exciting. Never heard from College of Charleston. Crickets. They did not return my emails. Was finally rejected by Alabama 2 days ago. 3a/1w/2r/1p
Miami (OH)	(English) - Creative Writing Poetry MFA, MFA (F18)	Accepted via E-mail on 11 Apr 2018	I	16 Apr 2018	This wason of my top three choices and I accepted immediately.

Notre Dame	(English) - Creative Writing Poetry MFA, MFA (F18)	Other via Other on 16 Apr 2018		16 Apr 2018	No, you are not the only one. I've already accepted the offer to my first choice, so I'm not too butt-hurt about it, but I do think it's really rude to not notify the applicants. When I emailed to ask about the status of applications, the person who wrote me back was super terse and a bit imperious about not having to notify applicants until April 15th...and now here we are at April 15th and I've heard nothing. I've heard from more than a few people about how toxic the department can be, so I guess I'm glad?
Oregon State University, Corvallis	(English) - Creative Writing (CNF), MFA (F18)	Accepted via Phone on 16 Apr 2018	A	16 Apr 2018	In off the waitlist. I'll be going.
Florida State Univerisity (FSU)	English Literautre, Masters (F18)	Other via Other on 15 Apr 2018	A	15 Apr 2018	To the Creative Writing major that responded before: Thank you for the information! I hope they give us final answers soon; it's been incredibly stressful to have to wait for their response. I've checked all through my email and still cannot find any sort of notification about being waitlisted, but my application status doesn't reflect an acceptance or rejection. Should I try contacting the school, if I don't hear anything tomorrow?
The University Of Connecticut (UCONN)	(English) - (rhet/comp), PhD (F18)	Accepted via E-mail on 15 Apr 2018 Undergrad GPA: 4.00 GRE General (V/Q/W): 164/154/5.50 GRE Subject: n/a ♦		15 Apr 2018	Accepted off the waitlist - straight from undergraduate, full funding, TA-ship, unbelievably excited. This was my top-choice, so I'll be accepting post-haste.
Southern Methodist University ( SMU )	English Literature (American Studies Concentration), PhD (F18)	Accepted via E-mail on 6 Apr 2018	A	15 Apr 2018	Rejected offers from TCU, LSU, and Texas A&M to attend here, mostly because of the opportunities to work with the faculty.
Florida State University (FSU)	(English) - Creative Writing (Fiction), MFA (F18)	Other via Other on 15 Apr 2018	A	15 Apr 2018	In response to the below question about notification deadlines. My waitlist e-mail (which, BTW, I think everyone who didn't receive an offer got) from FSU specifically said that they are notifying by April 16. I assume that's the case for most schools since the 15th is on a Sunday. Has anyone out there heard from Florida State since the March e-mail?
(University Of Virginia)	(English) - Creative Writing (Fiction), MFA (F18)	Accepted via E-mail on 15 Apr 2018	A	15 Apr 2018	Accepted off waitlist
‌Boston University	(English) - Creative Writing Poetry MFA, MFA (F18)	Rejected via E-mail on 4 Apr 2018	I	15 Apr 2018	Rejected via form email. My only outright rejection so far. A little disappointed, but I understand, and I'm really grateful for the acceptances I have! 3a/2w/1r/0p
Other	(English) - Creative Writing (Poetry), MFA (F18)	Wait listed via Other on 15 Apr 2018		15 Apr 2018	does anyone know whether all fully funded programs will have to respond by the end of today? I know the deadline is usually the 15th for financial notifications; but, as of one o'clock eastern, I haven't heard anything (good or bad) from either program at which I've been waitlisted, both of which guarantee some funding. I'm curious if they'd wait until Monday for final notifications.
ASU & FAU	(English) - Creative Writing (Fiction), MFA (F18)	Other via E-mail on 15 Apr 2018	A	15 Apr 2018	turned down an offer to ASU and FAU, hope this gets someone in off the waitlist :)
