Just waitlisted at Carnegie Mellon! This is my first choice school. I am bawling my eyes out at the chance to attend.

I was accepted to UCR’s English (Literature) PhD program yesterday! I only applied to three schools, so this is a huge relief. I got a phone call from the Director of Graduate Admissions. I’m so happy to have found out so early. 

In at UIC ? 6 straight years of teaching, though! Wooooah

Congratulations! In at Boston College here too ? It's so nice to start off the season with an acceptance rather than a rejection.

Just got in at IU-Bloomington! 

Yay!!! Got accepted to WashU!!! 

Oh my goodness!!! I just got a phone call from WashU, too! My first acceptance... I'm over here ugly-crying. Congratulations to you! Who knows - maybe we'll be future cohorts! 
Now off to update my signature! haha

Just learned by phone that I have been accepted to Washington University in St. Louis! I am absolutely thrilled!!!

Hi all,

I've been lurking here for the last couple of weeks while waiting to hear back from the different programs I've applied to. It is truly a grueling process!

For the sake of transparency—or, I suppose, as much transparency as we can hope for (...)—, I just wanted to let you all know that I've been accepted to Wisconsin (Literary Studies). Just added the result now.

Best of luck to everyone! 

I got into Texas A&M's English PhD program today! I received an email from the DGS.

Just got waitlisted at the University of Denver! First notice of the season, so very excited that it wasn't an immediate rejection!

Congrats on the Duke acceptance, @poeticdweller—certainly starting things off on the right foot!
As for me...I just got an acceptance email from Ohio State? At this point I thought at best they’d give me a slap on the wrist for double-dipping since it’s the same institution where I got my MFA, but wow wow wow, I’m excited! Taking a course with Jim Phelan is what convinced me I wanted to study narrative theory and pursue an academic PhD in the first place, so this is all very nice and poetic and all that—but mostly it’s just unexpected and I plan to be freaking out about it for quite some time!

I got the official acceptance email just now from OSU with the funding/healthcare/visit day information all attached. I know there were some people in another forum worried that because they didn't have the email yet that they didn't -actually- get in but it looks like everything should be fine! 

just was accepted to Duke English PhD!!!!! emailed to check status portal 

This. Be honest about what you don't know.

Congrats! 

I just got an email from Northeastern inviting me to their pre-admissions welcome event! I am SHAKING! I really could not even process what I was reading when I first opened the email. Feb 9-11, reimbursement for flight/train, shared hotel room paid for by the university, meals covered... Having a mini-heart attack over here, y'all. Is anyone familiar with how many folks Northeastern invites to their event (seems like an informal interview/recruitment weekend sort of shindig) vs. how many they ultimately accept to the program? 

I can't say with any certainty about the people who declined their offer, but everyone in my cohort was interviewed, which includes English and TAPS.

This is correct.
