University of North Texas and Other Schools

This winter I’m applying to a number of PhD creative writing programs in fiction. Some have a solid reputation, while others I’ve never heard anything about (apart from what I’ve read on their websites). If anyone could give me some insider information on these programs—the quality of the program, acceptance rates, application tips, etc.—garnered from personal experience or from others, I would be appreciative. Below is the list of these programs.
