| The University Of Illinois At Chicago (UIC) | English, (Creative Writing), PhD (F18) | Wait listed via E-mail on 10 Apr 2018 | A | 10 Apr 2018 | - The application portal hasn't changed since I submitted, and I was never notified that I had been waitlisted. I had to email them. The lack of communication only in the application process has to be somewhat telling of the program itself. (3a/2w/1r/0p)

| Rutgers Newark | (English) - Creative Writing Fiction MFA, MFA (F18) | Rejected via Website on 10 Apr 2018 | A | 10 Apr 2018 | - just found out i didn't get into rutgers newark by checking the online portal. never got an email from them, not even when i emailed them before applying asking a couple simple questions. the funding situation isn't great at the two programs that accepted me, so if i do this whole miserable process again, i definitely won't be applying to newark. from my experience and others i've heard, they seem totally inept. frustrated since we all pay a pretty hefty fee to have them look at our work and the least they could do was send a freaking form email.

| McNeese | (English) - Creative Writing (Fiction), MFA (F18) | Accepted via E-mail on 10 Apr 2018 | A | 10 Apr 2018 | - Off the waitlist. Probably won't accept.
|
| Western Washington University | English Studies, Masters (F18) | Accepted via E-mail on 10 Apr 2018 Undergrad GPA: 3.94
GRE General (V/Q/W): 162/153/4.50
GRE Subject: n/a
♦ | A | 10 Apr 2018 | - Very excited about the offer. Awaiting funding information. Also waiting on a response from Purdue who has notified me that I am next up to receive an offer.
|
| The University Of Arizona | (English) - Creative Writing Poetry MFA, MFA (F18) | Rejected via E-mail on 10 Apr 2018 | A | 10 Apr 2018 | - Rejected off of the waitlist. Still waiting to hear from Saint Mary's and still on one other waitlist. Crossing my fingers.
|
| UC Riverside (UCR) | (English) - Creative Writing Poetry MFA, MFA (F18) | Rejected via E-mail on 10 Apr 2018 | | 10 Apr 2018 | - To the UCR poster below, I never heard anything so I emailed Bryan B. yesterday to put my mind at ease and confirm rejection. He said faculty had made their decisions and "You will receive an official email notification from our Graduate Division in the coming weeks. It can take them some time to process those notifications." So, I would assume if you didn't hear, then it's a rejection across genres.
|
| Miami University (OH) | English - Literature, Masters (F18) | Other via Phone on 10 Apr 2018 | O | 10 Apr 2018 | - Called them to see about my application status and was told that I was not on the waitlist but I wasn't denied either. It doesn't make sense...
|
| Other | (English) - Creative Writing MFA, MFA (F18) | Wait listed via E-mail on 10 Apr 2018 | O | 10 Apr 2018 | - Why would anyone deliberately wait until the last time to decide between two offers they already have? I’m trying to understand the thought process here. You’ve received two offers, you’re familiar with the faculty of each program (in the sense that you must have at least Googled them), you know how much money each school is offering you, and you probably have had at least a couple of weeks now to think. Given how little each program is likely to change from now until Sunday, why wait until the last minute to decide?

| The University Of Illinois At Chicago (UIC) | (English) - Creative Writing, PhD (F18) | Accepted via E-mail on 9 Apr 2018 | | 10 Apr 2018 | - I reported this yesterday without "UIC" in the school name. I'm reporting again for those keeping up since I had a hard time finding it. I was waitlisted on 4/5. I received an acceptance email on 4/9. I accepted 4/10. This is the same acceptance reported yesterday with 95% chance of accepting seat.
|
| Florida State Univerisity (FSU) | English Literature & Language, Masters (F18) | Other via Other on 10 Apr 2018 | A | 10 Apr 2018 | - Has anyone heard from FSU's English department lately? I guess everyone who hadn't heard back in March was placed on a waitlist, but has anyone been contacted off of it yet? They didn't even send me an email about being waitlisted.
|
| Rutgers Newark | (English) - Creative Writing Fiction MFA, MFA (F18) | Rejected via Website on 10 Apr 2018 | A | 10 Apr 2018 | - So Rutgers has not called or emailed me...but I logged into the portal today and saw a "Your application has been reviewed, and the Committee has denied admission."
If you're waiting for Rutgers, check your portals.
I really must suck because this is my second year trying to get into grad school and failing. I have left is mediocre, totally unranked programs that don't offer a single scholarship. 0a/6r/0w/2p

| None | (English) - Creative Writing (Fiction), Other (F18) | Other via Other on 10 Apr 2018 | O | 10 Apr 2018 | - "You are better than this. Literature is larger and more compassionate than the admission process, and you have a friend in every author, dead or alive, who’s ever failed in this business. You are not alone. You are in great company."
Needed to read that today. Thank you to this poster, whoever you are.

| Other | (English) - Creative Writing, MFA (F18) | Other via Other on 10 Apr 2018 | O | 10 Apr 2018 | - jfc just decide already it’s actually not difficult
|
| Other | (English) - Creative Writing, MFA (F18) | Other via Other on 10 Apr 2018 | O | 10 Apr 2018 | - To the poster below: I’m still deciding between my top two and I anticipate it will be awfully close to the deadline before I make my decision. If you have an offer, you might consider taking it. But if you are stuck on the waitlists, don’t give up hope.
|
| Other | (English) - Creative Writing MFA, MFA (F18) | Wait listed via E-mail on 10 Apr 2018 | O | 10 Apr 2018 | - A sincere question: is this the end of the line for those of us who have been waitlisted and haven’t heard another word from our programs? April 15th is right on the corner and I’m starting to think that this is it. Do programs contact people one day before the deadline? Two days before? I would appreciate a truthful and compassionate answer. Thank you.
