I applied to 12+ programs. Mostly MA programs, from which I ended up withdrawing my application (I slightly regret this). Accepted to FSU, Umiami, UVa, UIC, and USF (and some more). It was a fairly successful season for me, and I kind of wish I applied to some dream schools or least more PhD programs, but oh well. I'm very grateful and happy I got into grad school, but I'm bummed about out how insidious and deterring climate and diversity issues can be. PM if you want any details.
