| Villanova University | English, Masters (F21) | Accepted via E-mail on 24 Mar 2021 | A | 24 Mar 2021 | Totally floored! From nothing but rejections to two acceptances in two days. |
| Boston College | English, PhD (F21) | Accepted via E-mail on 25 Jan 2021 | 24 Mar 2021 | This program didn't seem to have much in the way of recruitment.
