It dies feel so slow! I'm guessing we will probably hear by early March.

This is my second cycle applying for PhDs and I ended up at a fully funded Masters with a TAship and an additional award. I came into this cycle from a very dark place last cycle. I've been a public school ELA teacher for the past 5 years (without a Master's), and desperate to realize my dream of a PhD program but feeling stuck and unappreciated as an educator. My research interests are in Rhetoric and still K-12 focused.
I'm very happy with the program I ended up with. It was absolutely about "fit" more than anything else. I really didn't think that a fully funded Master's program with a TAship was even in the realm of possibility because they seem so difficult to find, especially after COVID. But I'm excited to be a part of a program that is excited to have me!
I guess I'm writing this because it is what I would have appreciated reading as I scoured these forums this cycle or last cycle. I hope everyone else ended up somewhere they are happy with as well.

I've accepted my offer at Illinois State University!

Hi all!
I have accepted my offer to the joint Ph.D. program in English and Education at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor! 

I heard good news this morning, about being the first person on the waitlist, but doubtful I'll hear anything again before Monday.

Oh man, the wait is so stressful. I hope you hear good news soon!

Held off on posting this since Wednesday because it feels too surreal and I’m still waiting for them to email again saying “Whoops, wrong person!” But I got into UIUC with 7 years of very good funding ? 
I’ve turned down my offers from 4 out of 5 programs now. Waiting for UIUC to send the official documents before I turn down my last one.
Thank you to everyone on this forum who offered advice and helped me keep a shred of my sanity during this crazy season.

Yes, it is frustrating indeed! As someone with an acceptance and on a waitlist, I can totally see what a terrible place this is to be in--stasis--that's all it is. Good luck deciding though!

This is what I've heard from a POI as well. It is so frustrating because it feels like everything is at a standstill. I know that movement is expected closer to April 15th.

Hey there! I wanted to start a thread where 2022 applicants could list their final decisions for where they will enroll in the fall! 
 
I will kick it off by saying that I've just accepted my offer at University of California - Davis !!!

Accepted off the waitlist at UBC!

I was in the Literature & Culture track! 

This is a long-shot, but is there anyone here who has been accepted with funding to UW-Milwaukee who is considering turning it down?
But happy Friday everyone! I know this waitlist game has been long and still has over a month until it's over. Hang in there!

Turned down my offers at UW-Madison and CUNY today. 

Congratulations! I applied for Lang & Rhetoric. It is such a beautiful school!

Literature and Culture track- And yeah, I applied to A LOT more programs this year than I did last year. And though I also did a lot of work on my applications between then and now, I definitely feel like more applications paid off. 

Thanks for making this thread! Which track are you in at UW?
I am still waiting to hear back from 3 programs, but so far I am waitlisted at University of Washington and in for the Masters program at UW-Milwaukee but waitlisted for funding. I am hopeful about this cycle after a shutout (only 4 applications) last cycle!
 

My phone won't let me click the "Submit Results" tab so I haven't been able to submit my own result yet, but I got an email stating I had been put on the Waitlist. I applied for the Language & Rhetoric track. The email said 4% of applicants were admitted. This is my dream program so I am really hoping that I get in eventually!

Aw thank you! This was a really sweet message to get on a very brain-scattered day. These application cycles really are a killer for all us perfectionists who feed off academic validation (presumably everyone who applies to grad school lmao), but it's important to keep in mind that getting into Every program is not the goal (and definitely not a feasible goal). 
Best of luck to you, and to everyone reading this! I hope we all get into a program that we love and that loves us (by giving a fat funding package ayo)
