Hi adverbially, The note about the accepted students weekend was in the email I received, but if you already have a masters, I don't think you're included. Here's what it says: "This year we will be hosting a recruitment event for some of those we hope will join our program and who do not yet hold an advanced degree." Hopefully this answers your question.

I got an acceptance email two days ago, and their recruitment weekend isn't until the very end of March, so it is definitely possible they will still be sending out more offers. Last year I was waitlisted at Austin, and they didn't inform me of that until the middle of March. I was then subsequently rejected, but that is not the moral of this story. I think it just takes them a little while for them to get a hold of everyone.

I checked my application status last night, and my status on the website was changed to recommend admission. That said, I haven't heard a peep from the department; no email, no phone calls, no mail, no nothing. So don't stress about it! No formal offers have gone out yet. And by the way, my last name starts with a D, and I applied to the Literary Studies program. I hope this eases your mind, but I know that isn't really possible. Why would I be on this site if I weren't freaking out myself? Good luck!
