I feel for you as I myself got a BA in something completely unrelated. I just got admitted to a History PhD program this cycle after getting a terminal MA. Have you had any chance to get to know any professors in history? I think I was able to get into an MA program because I took a history course during my final year of undergrad where I was able to produce a reasonable research paper (I also got a LoR from the professor) and build a case for myself. I also did not do an MA in history but a closely related interdisciplinary MA where I was advised by a professor in the history department.

Thank you @TMP. I learn so much every day.

Thankfully enough, I got offers from two schools this cycle. I just submitted my statement of intention to register at one school. Now I need to do the harder part -- declining the offer. I really liked both schools and I got to know students there who helped me through my application process, so I feel like I owe them at least a well-written email. Who else should I contact? I also feel like I need to email the POI soon since we are probably going to see each other again at some point, and I don't want to make this process any longer than necessary.

Yup, I just got my rejection from UCSD. It hurts because I communicated so actively with so many people there. I got an acceptance from my first choice though, so that softens the blow...

Ah, thank you so much! I didn't know I could do that. I'll need to write an email right away!

Hello, I have been lurking here for a bit, but it’s my first time actually posting a question. So I got one acceptance from my top choice, which is asking me to decide before April 15. I have been waiting for other schools for what feels like forever because I heard it is rude to accept before seeing all the results. I have two schools left, which for one of them I am pretty sure I got rejected because multiple people posted their acceptance on the results page. The other school has a pretty small program, so I have no idea when things are going to get decided (some past results from many year

No, not yet. I haven't heard from them at all after I submitted my application. I just assumed it was because their deadline was relatively late.
