I'll gladly take recommendations for MA programs! Thank you!

Here's to another week, really, of waiting.

Has anyone applied to or been accepted to this program?

I so appreciate this board and have enjoyed reading everyone's comments on this topic. First I'll curse myself for not studying longer for the GRE, then bitterly blame my university for not helping me "grow" to the satisfaction of adcoms, then I'll remind myself that I transferred from a smaller school that was probably better for such a growth experience, and I'll be sad/mad that I transferred. After some rationalizing about how it's for the best, I'll start fantasizing about the high-paying job I will surely get for being such a rockstar student with several internships, despite the fact that such jobs are scarce and many of the best favor strong quantitative backgrounds. Then: Jack Daniels, pathetic/desperate life planning, dramatic looks in the mirror, and at some point I'll go to sleep. I think getting in and having to turn it down because of 0 funding might be worse. That would entail certain economic/parents-not-paying-for-college resentment in addition to the above. It's my spring break this week so I've taken off work as well, hoping to avoid a public breakdown as I hear from each university. Waiting is making it a lot harder to work on these two 25-page essays that I've hardly started.
