I've started rewriting the lyrics to Ariana Grande's thank u, next, which I think goes along quite well with grad admissions:
"thought I'd end up at Duke... but it wasn't a match" ?
(to be continued pending further rejections haha)

In at Davis!!! My first English acceptance of this cycle. Really exciting and particularly validating since I was rejected from their program in my last app cycle. I'm so happy! Funding details to come, but it feels amazing to have multiple good offers on the table.

@AyoEmmy @Bopie5 @clara salmon 
Congrats to you all! (And sorry if I missed any other Davis admittees.)
I also got into Davis and *think* I will be attending. Still waiting on a handful of programs but Davis was my only interview out of my six applications, so I am not holding my breath on the others.
Which program did you all get into? (I'm Comp Lit.)

@Bopie5 congratulations!!! You're off to do great things!

That's great. Congrats. Got my acceptance to Davis two weeks ago for a PhD. Super excited!!

oh my goodness stop I'm going to cry! Seriously though, thank you. This means a lot to me. And I'm so glad that you're here too! I'm sure you'll be getting some good news soon--your work is so interesting and exciting. Sending good energies your way.

Very cool! We have some things in common--I do television studies, particularly reality television, particularly reality cooking competitions. So essentially a triangulation of television studies, food studies, and ethnic studies/theories of race/whiteness studies. But I also do horror film on the side lol. I'll DM you.

Thank you all so much. You're all so kind, I'm tearing up! ☺️ This has been such a journey and I'm very thankful for this supportive community we have here. I'm sure good news is on the way for all of you, if it hasn't come already. I can't wait to congratulate y'all!

It did make me emotional ngl because it feels like such a concrete marker of how much I've grown as a person/scholar and developed my research over the past few years. This one feels particularly personal, in a good way. I'll definitely be sending a DM your way ?
Ah! Congratulations to you! And same to you--where else are you applying? What are your areas of interest?

I know I'm late to the party but CONGRATULATIONS. I remember the 2019 cycle we were both feeling pretty defeated and I am so so happy that you're hearing such good news this cycle! You are such a supportive force on this website and I think we are all glad you're here

This is what you all look like to me and probably sums up grad application season well. Congrats to everyone!

Having been on here for two separate cycles, I can't agree more! So many other forums have weird competitive energies or are plagued by trolls. I have always appreciated how supportive and empathetic and encouraging this particular thread is. It may sound trite, but I genuinely am rooting for everyone on here. It makes me so happy when any of y'all get acceptances, and sad when bad news comes in. There's a good sense of "we're in it together" here, which makes me excited to inevitably cross paths with some of you at events, conferences, etc--someday, when those things are possible again.
