  1. Finally able to post here! I was chaperoning a week long trip and during one lunch finally got the amazing news via the schools portal! So excited
  2. Well at least you know still in the running, supposed to hear by today for my last and top choice the hours are getting late. . . . . . but like you I don't want to call/email I did earlier this week and they said by the end of the week. Staying positive though
  3. When I talked to the departments Assistant I was told we should hear this week. It's Friday and I haven't heard going to be a long a stressful dAy. Even though I know it's going to be positive day with amazing news
  4. I know it is either today or tomorrow that will determine my next 4-5 years and it is getting harder to wait, I feel my tolerance level is much lower as well. “Some people would tell you that it's impossible for you to become successful in your line of passion. But don't be distracted by them because it is only you that need to believe in your dream in order for it to manifest. The vindication of your success doesn't need the whole world or anybody to cosign your passion for you.” ― Edmond Mbiaka
  5. I would think yes go ahead and ask, but be very concrete that you're asking for a week I wouldn't make it open ended
  6. I emailed yesterday after 2 weeks past interview got a very nice reply that they are still working and should release results this week
  7. You should consider many other factors, location, your end game needs and wants, ranking for education I would imagine isn't vital like other disciplines I could be wrong who knows, but that is not something I worry about
  8. One week to go until April 15th, and I finally broke down and sent an email to school, I have so many plans that depend on this decision, I am surprised I haven't gotten an ulcer yet.
  9. I know my final school gave me a window till next Monday, even if I don't hear I will wait at least a week before attempting contact. They are extremely busy “Whether you live to be 50 or 100 makes no difference, if you made no difference in the world.” ― Jarod Kintz, Great Listener Series Mute Women
  10. It's Thursday, interview was last Monday, they said up to 2 weeks so yes technically I know it means this coming Monday, but I just want to be able to shout from the rooftops my amazing news. “People tend to be generous when sharing their nonsense, fear, and ignorance. And while they seem quite eager to feed you their negativity, please remember that sometimes the diet we need to be on is a spiritual and emotional one. Be cautious with what you feed your mind and soul. Fuel yourself with positivity and let that fuel propel you into positive action.” ― Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience
  11. “What I’m doing is not doing anything, and I’m doing a half-ass job.” ― Jarod Kintz, This Book is Not FOR SALE Feels like me while waiting I know the greatest news is coming this week, but work has been long!
  12. “Tell me what’s the difference between hope and waiting because my heart doesn’t know It constantly cuts itself on the glass of waiting It constantly gets lost in the fog of hope” ― Anna Kamieńska This will be an amazing few weeks for all of us still waiting!
  13. Agreed, already having a career job now, people don't get it at all any of it, apps, waiting, how challenging it is. I do my best to stay positive I do believe our attitude and energy that we send into the world returns to us, best summed up in the quote below: “Once you’ve lived a little you will find that whatever you send out into the world comes back to you in one way or another. It may be today, tomorrow, or years from now, but it happens; usually when you least expect it, usually in a form that’s pretty different from the original. Those coincidental moments that change your life seem random at the time but I don’t think they are. At least that’s how it’s worked out in my life. And I know I’m not the only one.” ― Slash, Thoughts with all of us as we near the end of this stage
  14. Down to 1, expecting news before the end of this week, each day is a struggle to stay focused. It is my top choice, exactly what I want to do and focus on in a great city location. All I dream about! In addition I don't know how many more times I can answer the question you hear anything yet . . . .
  15. Hello I had a Skype interview yesterday go a Ph.D. program it went well, they said I should know in one to two weeks. This morning I get an email from the financial aid office about my award package (applied for loans as a back up) and there it was sitting waiting for me to accept or decline while my status is still forwarded to department for review. Anyone have any thoughts, should I call the financial aid office
