I JUST GOT ACCEPTED TO BOSTON COLLEGE! I'm crying so hard. I'm so thankful and in disbelief, I've been shaking since I got the email. I'll be emailing shortly to take myself off of the UConn waitlist and I hope this helps someone else out. Thank you all so much for your kind words and support through this whole process. It's especially wonderful because yesterday marked one year since my dad passed away, and I can't help but feel he's looking out for me.

I accepted an offer from the waitlist at University of Delaware, which was one of my top choices from the beginning - so everyone: don't lose hope! I think this will be a big week as far as people making choices, shifting lists, etc. 
I'm taking myself out of consideration at KU - hopefully that adjusts something for someone
Also, @cassidyaxxthat's amazing news! I'm sending very positive vibes for you (and I'm currently on the east coast, so they don't need to travel far!)
 

YES! This is such amazing news-fingers crossed for you!  ?

Hate to be that person who only posts good things, but I'm excited to share that I got accepted into English MA programs at Boston U and Villanova! After having no hope for this cycle, these last minute acceptances have been so pleasant and unexpected. To all those still waiting, hang in there!! 

I received an email from the DGS at BC saying that she expects movement in the next two weeks, and that's she'll keep me updated about what's happening. I'm glad to hear that she expects movement, but man oh man these next few weeks are going to be killer.

oh I've been lurking for a while, but waitlisted at USC for comp lit (on a "very short" waitlist) as well as for ASE (which they openly said is rarely used).
comp lit gave a little more hope, but pretty much said its too unpredictable for them to ascertain if/how they'll use the waitlist.
sorta my last hope for this cycle. heres to hoping I guess haha. 

Deep breaths, everyone! Crossing my fingers and toes for all of you. Weekly reminder that you are all amazing and should be kind to yourselves ❤️ 

From what I've been told by the DGS, Rutgers waitlist is seat-dependent rather than ranking-based -- you can get off the waitlist when the person who got accepted close to your area of specialization turns down their offer, e.g. someone who specializes in pre-modern in my case. ?

This really reminds me of the David Attenborough documentary clip on hermit crabs trading shells. I found it has an unsettling resonance to our situation so I'm sharing it here ??? 

Tysm!! I hope everyone else does too! Hopefully we'll start seeing some movement some places as we move into March
