Has anyone herd about funding/GAship through the Cleveland campus? I've called and they said they're waiting on the department to accept, but they wouldn't tell me whether I was recommended for one or not (now I'm under the impression that I am because they didn't flat out tell me I'm not). I need to respond to them by April 1, and I'm getting frustrated. I have another school (and definitely other writers) waiting for me to respond, but I can't until I hear back from NEOMFA (got a GA ship that pays for tuition from the other school). Contacted the department and the coordinator, but they are avoiding my inquiries now.

Very disappointed. Love this school's location and 'attitude'.

Anyone else has heard back from BU? Someone posted yesterday an acceptance for fiction, one would think there would be more today. Please let us know if you were accepted (or rejected) - thanks!

To the poster below: if you were accepted at Iowa, which is the top program in the land bar none, giving professional opportunities unimaginable at most programs, why are you upset about what Ivies are or are not doing? You're set, enjoy!

email to check portal for the most generic rejection possible.

ALL VCU APPLICANTS - I've just finished a phone call with Thom Didato and he told me that all acceptances had been sent out. So, if you have not heard from VCU that means you were rejected. Official notifications will go out next week.

Didn't even get a postal letter nor an email. I found out today by logging onto the portal and seeing "Not accepted". I was expecting a rejection after this long wait... but it really blows how they couldn't bother sending me a notification.

In response to the poster below, yes, BU has started notifying for fiction. Don't know if they went out all at once or are going out in waves though. I received an email from Ha Jin yesterday, saying they are accepting 10 students for the cohort.

0/7. Damn, didn't make it in my first round. I knew I applied to some really competitive programs but I was hoping to get one or two. Does anyone here not have an English/Creative Writing background? My degree is in something completely unrelated and I pieced my portfolio together from what I've done in a couple weekly workshops. That's all the feedback I have ever received. Any advice would be great since I mostly applied with a section of a novel-length work and have never written short stories. I think I would have had a better chance with that.

I called and spoke to the Assistant Director. She was extremely nice, looked at my file and told me that "I was no longer under consideration", which of course meant rejection, and official note would be out end of this week and next week. Still, I was impressed how kind she was on the phone. Good luck to everyone - given that she had to look up my file, I deducted that they were NOT done yet with reviews (at least not in Fiction).

Pleasant enough email that said they wished they had better news. I guess that wraps up this season. Good luck everyone! 2a/1w/2r
