I feel the same right now... I got through my safe schools and also since these schools only take me in if a professor's gonna fund me... I have been assured I'll be provided with funding too... Though the schools I got though are not exactly top ranked schools I love the research going on there and have decided to remain with these schools till I finish a masters atleast (I don't have a masters yet but my goal is to do a PhD).... I applied to PhD programmes in these schools... but decided to go here for a semester(& transfer) or till I finish my masters.... If I like it here then I'll continue to a PhD here... I'd say I'd rather go to a school whose research is what I've dealt with in the past and am confident I need to do this in the future than an ivy league school's research that's remotely interesting to me with unfriendly professors... But if that's not the case you could wait an year look for the appropriate PhD programme for you get in touch with your professors and see what you can do to get into the school.... You'll have more time this way to improve your GRE subject/general scores etc etc....

Okay, so two years ago I got an email from the graduate admissions office saying I was admitted. So I was waiting for the official letter and called to asked them how long it'd take.... They told me I was rejected not accepted and that the email gave me wrong information. All this after I paid enrollment fee. They asked me to pay that so I could get my official letter... I felt so stupid then....

It prolly means they received all the documents required to start processing if you've just applied. But if you applied a few months ago then just email and find out...
