| Penn State University | English, PhD (F21) | Rejected via E-mail on 2 Apr 2021 | A | 2 Apr 2021 | The last decision had finally been received. I'll be taking at least a year off to reevaluate the need for a PhD. 0a/1w/8r |

A | 1 Apr 2021 | GPA is Master’s. Received an email from the GPD welcoming me to the program. Portal changed to “decision ready” about 24 hours after that. I’m excited about this program and plan to accept. |
| Columbia University | English, Masters (F21) | Rejected via E-mail on 1 Apr 2021 | I | 1 Apr 2021 | Expected. Applied to the sequential MA without GRE scores. |
| Northeastern University | English, Masters (F21) | Accepted via E-mail on 30 Mar 2021 | 1 Apr 2021 | This is an update to the results I previously shared. On March 30th, I was officially rejected from the PhD program after making the waitlist. Although I was devastated, the department recommended me for the master's program, and based on my strong record, they offered me the Dean's Scholarship. Although this wasn't the outcome I've been working toward, I've decided that I'm going to accept the offer because it's still a positive result. I feel like I can still make a strong academic and professional impact with a master's degree, and regardless, I am still proud of all I've accomplished so far. :-) | |

| University Of Florida | English, PhD (F21) | Accepted via E-mail on 30 Mar 2021 | A | 30 Mar 2021 | TTPB, It’s odd.
