Scarlet A+

I just got my acceptance email! Brb dying. 

I wouldn't be too stressed about it. Grad Cafe Survey shows there was a wide range of acceptance dates.

There are other universities that do accept applicants before the deadline. I can't remember which universities I've seen it in, but I know I've seen it posted on the forums.
Some of the funding opportunities are determined by offices that aren't the English department. As such, it's open to all graduate students. Those departments may have to figure out staffing prior to a certain time.

Just got my official rejection letter from UC Davis. They include a reason they don't admit you in the letter, which on the one hand I'm like "oh cool that's helpful for people trying to reapply" and on the other I'm like oof I'm taking this a little personally. 

AHHHH just got an email from Heather Hicks at Villanova and I am IN!!! So thrilled after 3 rejections from PhD programs. Personal email with official offer to follow, funding decisions will be made after March 1st. I am so happy!!!! (English Masters program - it is not letting me post on the board for some reason - but I had to let you guys know!)

Anyone hear anything from U of Kentucky/Syracuse/Purdue? I haven't seen any postings from these yet but I'm starting to get ancy.

I got accepted to Alabama's MA program, fully funded with stipend, but the email and letter did not mention a recruitment weekend. Are they only for PhD students? Or am I misunderstanding something? 

Hey! I applied for the joint PhD in English and Women's Studies. It's definitely one of my top choices (if not THE top choice), so I have been ridiculously nervous waiting for a response. What's your area of interest, if you don't mind me asking? I'm interested in the physical representation of women's bodies in 20th/21st Century literature and comics. My writing sample was a piece on the monstrous feminine (and the subsequent abjection and exploitation of female sexuality) in Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale and Kelly Sue Deconnick's Bitch Planet. 

I AM LITERALLY SHAKING AT THIS MOMENT BUT I JUST GOT ACCEPTED TO MY FIRST CHOICE PROGRAM!!! MsC at University of Edinburgh in US Literature: Cultural Values from Revolution to Empire. 
I emailed them yesterday asking for an update and they said they hadn't had a chance to look at my application yet but would soon and I just received an unconditional offer!! 
No word on funding again but I thought I had NO CHANCE and I've been accepted?? I am so emotional and so overwhelmed because this is going to be a tough decision but I am SO HAPPY  

I just created one (credit to your idea). Only time will tell if people actually use it, but it seems like a really good idea.

I got into CU-Boulder's English PhD program! I want to cry, the amount of choices is getting overwhelming and I just feel so validated. 

I got my first response/acceptance!!  I'm officially accepted to University of Alabama's fully funded Masters program!! It comes with waived tuition, a $13,500 Graduate Assistant stipend and an $800 Loomis scholarship (per year). Hallelujah. One down, four more to go. 
It's just such a relief that no matter what happens, I am moving forward.
 

Holy shit, I just got a letter saying I'm waitlisted for UCLA. I had totally thought it was a flat rejection at this point--not as good as an acceptance, but I'll take it!

Hopefully they'll start spreading the news soon.

Ugh, I did make that joke.

YESSSSS just got my first acceptance from UMass Amherst!!!!!!!!! 
the email wasn't even the actual acceptance letter, but was from the writing program looking to set up interviews for teaching associateships. however, the first line of the email is: "I was recently informed you were admitted into your graduate program.  Congratulations!"
 
SO FREAKING EXCITED!!!!!

I only applied to MA programs that waive tuition. I told myself that if I can't get into a funded program, then I am not qualified enough to go yet.
