I will be attending UCI.
How are you all preparing for your programs? It's been a while since I've been in school, so I will need to recalibrate my brain. ;-P
For those of you who are waitlisted/still waiting to hear back, hang in there! Sending support.

I'm going to be at Washington University in St. Louis! I had a difficult choice between there and Maryland, but I ultimately feel that this is the M.A. program for me and I feel really good about my decision. I hope everyone ended up at a place that is a good fit for them!

@popbowiereed I am spending the entire day at the OSU campus next Wednesday.  They have put together quite an itinerary for my visit.  I will be glad to let you know how that goes when I get back home.  I'll be visiting them, Brooklyn, Binghamton, and UMKC. 
Also, congrats on Maryland.  I was very disappointed to receive their rejection.  Their rejection is actually the only reason I'll be visiting OSU.

The streak is over!  After three consecutive rejections, I got an acceptance letter from Binghamton University today.  Very good research fit there, but I'm still going to have to wait and see what other offers (if any) come in, and what Binghamton's funding package is.

Best of luck @Gamb1t, congrats @dopamine_17 and everybody else!

I only applied for a PhD in Performance Studies at Northwestern and had an interview with them two weeks ago - should hear back soon!!
my academic record is really really average (not a perfect GPA, so not perfect GREs). no publications. work experience in advertising, and DJing.
my MA thesis, and my prospective topic however, are on music and plays and discourses of post colonialism through the lens of class.
my experience so far, with other English programs I applied for a PhD in, showed to me that program fit makes it or breaks it and that your SOP matters most, along with your WS and LORs. I thought my GPA and GREs would not get me anywhere, but I was able to make it, and I got into my dream school in Literary and Cultural Studies! Still waiting on some others though.
As long as this program is absolutely right for you, no imperfection would stand in the way. If the choice is not obviously rational, nor rationalized for that matter, I believe no perfection would make it happen!! It's about what you can offer, and no grade can show that!! I hope the above details I shared prove that, and I really hope everybody finds the perfect program for them!!
 

I submitted 13 across both MA/PhD and MFA (playwriting) programs.  I have only gotten a response from one school thus far.  I wouldn't be overly concerned just yet. 

Well, what led me here in the first place was that I found a current Theatre History PhD student's blog about when he had applied to programs.  He mentioned that he would not recommend coming here and obsessing over others' results and refreshing the pages a hundred times per day.  Naturally, that's exactly what I started doing before I even bothered finishing the article.
