I've come to acknowledge that I could possibly be rejected from all of the PhD programs to which I applied. I feel like everyone is hearing back except me and I don't know why that is. I am last. I'm not anyone's first choice or even middle choice... And maybe I'm no one's choice. Whatever I am to them, I wish they would just man u...

Around the Block Again
Hi all!I thought I should post about Sunday's interview (for an MA program). It wasn't really an interview in the conventional sense. My POI called and let me know that I've been admitted and that she's meeting with the Chair to discuss funding this week. She asked if I would accept their offer of, basically, full funding minus a coupl...
Last night, I got an email from my POI saying I'd be getting "good news" in an email today. Well, I got the email, and it turns out I've been shortlisted for their program and they'd like to interview me this weekend. The sad thing is, shortlist doesn't mean acceptance. The even sadder thing is that this is one of two programs I...
I've been struggling with a lack of motivation lately, especially in writing for my website . I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because this waiting process has me so anxious that I can't focus, or maybe it's because my fulltime job has kept me focused on "the real world." Whatever it is, I don't like it, and I want to get bac...
I got my first official news today.

rejection, waiting it out and 1 more...
Rejection! Northwestern. Wasn't expecting it. To make matters worse, they sent me the letter not once, but twice. Oh, technology. So, I'm faced with the familiar sting of rejection that I experienced last year.I would like to think that I can subscribe to the attitude that only one school has rejected me so far and I have 11 more to hear from...
"I have doubts. I have such doubts." Sometimes I feel like Meryl Streep's character in Doubt- I feel so sure and so confident, so certain, in my belief in something (myself), and then the unsettling feeling of doubt sweeps in.I'm not sure what it is about this process that is so psychologically affecting. I wish I could exist for the next...
I think I'm starting to drive my family and friends a little crazy with my "When will I know? Why haven't I been contacted yet?" obsession. As a second-timer, you'd think that waiting it out just gets easier, but it seems to be about the same. I am just too curious; I'm dying to know where I'll get in and where I won't, and...
Today I received what I assume is my first (unofficial) rejection. Emory's welcome weekend is in just a few short days (Feb. 2-4) and I wasn't invited. I think this means that I didn't get into the program. That's surprising because my POI and I were an excellent fit and when we spoke in October we got along really well. My POI also told m...
Every year, my family hosts an Academy Awards viewing party. We all fill out ballots guessing who we think will win (and I usually put hearts next to the nominees I would like to win but know probably won't). I've decided to make a list of all the schools I've applied to and sort them into categories: Will Get In, Might Get In, Won't Get I...
Apart from the waiting game, having all my applications submitted and all their materials accounted for feels very freeing. 
Anyone there with me?
