Or more than just brag - what about folks who are passionate, happy, thankful, or resilient, good or bad?? I think we all deserve space to feel however we do after this hell of an application process. 

For me, I applied to 10 places, and got rejected from every single one except my perfect match, which was my 7th decision back. 

I am over the moon to somehow end up at the best place for me feat. collegial faculty, an interdisciplinary department, and a cohort which is queer/trans like me and respects my non-binary pronouns. ❤️ 

Congrats!

I also received two rejections, back-to-back, very early in the season. I only applied to four places so that scared me. Then I got into my 2nd choice, and a month later (pushing RIGHT up to the 4/15 deadline), got into my top choice!

A professor I know, when I told him I was accepted, said "it's nice to know it's not just in your head, isn't it?" and I think that sums up a lot of how I feel. I thought I would be a good applicant, then I started questioning it, and now I'm happy to realize other people also think I'd be good in grad school. It's very affirming.

Now to figure out housing, with my state on lockdown, but luckily a lot can be done over the internet!

Anybody want to brag about where they got in?

Has anyone heard anything from CSU Chico? My portal hasn’t updated from the “application is pending review”. Trying to stay positive but with past gradcafe updaters showing acceptances in March and March being halfway over... Safe to say my positive thinking is becoming less positive

Super late reply but I haven't heard anything from Chico yet. I think they like to push it to the very final days of March.

Currently waiting on hearing from Texas State University for MA anthropology. I saw one rejection on the results page, so maybe some rejections have rolled out?

Also waiting for CSU Chico MA biological anthropology. Trying not to check my email every 10 minutes, but I always do

Already heard back from MA programs from UN Reno and UNLV but nether were positive!
