Just got into UVa! Received a really lovely phone call from their DGS. Totally and utterly shocked! 

It wasn't me who posted on the results page, but yes I did get a call from Princeton! More importantly, thank you guys so much for being so supportive - actually, as someone who had a long winding path to getting here (won't get into details), it means a lot to me to feel welcomed and validated in the wonderful English community, both all of you here and also all the incredible people I've talked to and met in this journey.

 

all I wanted for Valentine's Day was an acceptance...alas. Congrats to those who did get one yesterday!

Ahhhh! I finally got accepted somewhere! I was starting to think I was going to receive a slew of rejections but NO, there is at least ONE acceptance!
I got into Texas A&M's PhD program!
Part of me was like: Maybe you should email them just to double check that they didn't get it wrong somehow.
But I am sooooo happy, I just finished running around my building screaming my head off.

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 finally got my first acceptance! UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA!!! After three rejections from US schools, this really feels like a dream! I'm so relieved!!! 

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.
 

Got into Irvine! Got an email from DGS this morning apologizing for some of the letters going out late and causing confusion with his correction email. Any confusion is totally worth it at this point though! Holy crap, this was definitely a school I had totally taken myself out of the running for! So excited!!

I've been lurking for a while, but this thread is so encouraging that I decided to post. I have yet to have any acceptances, but am still trying to keep the faith! Congrats to all those who've gotten in!
