I was rejected by UIUC History program (Ph.D.), but now I am awaiting the decision of the French Studies (master) program at the same uni. I got accepted by Western Michigan Medieval Studies, but I don't have any scholarships available  Besides that, I am still awaiting decisions on the Comparative Literature program at UCSB, wish me luck guys, fingers crossed!!!! 

You were admitted into elite programs. I am going to be extremely blunt and tell you right now to get over the ivy thing. It might sound harsh but you need this reality check. 
I got into an ivy, I chose NYU instead because I based my decisions on advisors and fit. I have a TT-equivalent job (we don't have the tenure system but full-time, permanent, "assistant prof", 50% research, 40% teaching etc etc) in my own country (I always intended to move home after the PhD). Recent graduates of NYU have had very good success on the job market. During the PhD the program supported me and many of my peers to apply for and receive significant external funding. Why would you do a MA when you have funded options for elite, fully funded PhD programs? 
If you need to go to an ivy then tell the other schools ASAP so that waitlisted candidates aren't waiting until April. 
Others might beat around the bush and provide replies that are worded more sensitively, but here's a straight answer for you. 

I GOT INTO UPENN! I COULD CRY RIGHT NOW!

I can't say if they do a formal rejection email, but I will say it was only today that I got my "official" portal update acceptance letter and financial aid award, even though I was notified in late January. There could def be a waitlist / rounds??? Good luck!!!
