      Never give up! Never surrender! (Seriously, try to hang in there!)

  2. Um, second your second? I received a Minnesota notification today, to check my status. Yeah email, thanks... status reads: "Awaiting Program Decision". Edit: Has anyone else with experiece on the "ApplyYourself" system know if I'm doing it wrong? I logged in, status says awaiting; nothing in the message center either. Any advice will be eagerly absorbed and obsessively applied...
  3. That is hillarious!! Best answer (or question) you could have given.
  4. A vacation... but that's going to take some planning. "Short term" celebration: take a moment to smile, take my recommenders to dinner, and have a celebratory bbq with friends; then pull my head out of my ass, prep taxes, and begin brushing up on language skills and a few poli sci books. "Long term" celebration: sometime in the summer, once I get my stuff together, I really think I need to take a vacation. I was thinking about a trip to the Galapagos.
  5. Turns out that Michigan lost to Wisconsin in a stunning upset on Saturday. I only hope that Michigan doesn't turn around and issue me a stunning upset. Good luck to everyone this coming week!

      good luck to you!

  6. All true things (close enough). Add... the purple growth on my temple, I suspect having to do with a brust blood vessel, has now overtaken my hair as the largest feature on my head. Edit: especially with today's addition of another Michigan admit on search results, I'm getting the distinct sense that my hopes of dawning the trappings of the Wolverine are dust in the wind. 2xEdit: grats on Berkley zzzzzzz!!!
  7. Grat clangeroo. Maybe not such a dead-day after all? And here I was just about to log out and write today off... Oh well!
  8. Just wanted to brag about something... I tore myself away for FIVE whole hours, and did not once check Grad Cafe. I was awake the whole time, so this is a major step forward in believing that I can get past my addiction! My previous record in the last two weeks has, honestly, probably been about three hours... and that was not by choice. All I'm saying is that there is hope; even if you haven't gotten in anywhere, such as myself.
  9. There outta be an ap for that... Might be called "GradCafe Pro: OCD edition"
  10. If Michigan would just send me an acceptance by tomorrow morning, I will happily go root for the Wolverines in basketball tomorrow at a local bar.
  11. Apparently, there's a club, and we're in it together.
  12. Right there with you. Which gives me the thought that the banner ad up at the top of this page should be for Xanax or Valium.
  13. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhh aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhh And, grats to the Berkley people!
  14. Michigan results search stats at the moment - today there have been 7 rejections and 4 waitlists, prior to today 9 acceptances and 3 rejections. It's not looking good for us hopefuls, but regardless... chin up folks!
  15. +1 for your positivity!! I hope that I can go into this weekend with some good news... for us all!
  16. If you can sleep, for the sake of all things decent, get some sleep!
  17. Hello. My handle is wemayet, and I am a GradCafe "search results" junkie. It all started in the fall, when I was looking for application advice. I figured a little wouldn't hurt, you know? It didn't take long before I was spending most, then all, of my spare time reading forums. It didn't seem like a bad trade off for all the good feelings I was getting from what I was taking in. I grew to rely upon it. I needed it to get through applications. But even when applications were over, I still needed. I tried to quit cold turkey, but found myself going back for more. I think on purpose at some level, I had even lost my login for a while, hoping I'd forget. Then one day, I saw it. The first indication that someone from one of my schools had gotten an interview. That taste brought me back. Worse than before. A great hunger inside of me, I needed the information. On my tower, on my ipad, on my laptop... all browsers had a GradCafe tab. I'd hit that refresh button... dozens of times... sometime dozens of dozens of times in one hour. When I wake up, I reach for the nearest computerized device and hit refresh again and again. Someday, I hope to stop... My handle is wemayet, and I am a GradCafe "search results" junkie.
  18. Really hoping for that Michigan acceptance today, so that on Saturday I can root for the Wolverines to rout Wisconsin (from which I was recently rejected)

  19. This might be the most uplifting thing that I've read in a couple of days... I really want to get into Michigan! The rest can all send me hate mail if I get into Michigan (with funding of course, don't want to "get what I wish for" in one of those bad ways... haha).
  20. Looks like the penny is going to drop on Michigan today. I hope by the end of the day, I'm searching for a wolverine costume.

  21. I can't help but to notice that the scores attached to the admits on the result search page are... fairly outstanding. I'm hoping that means Michigan's top picks are going out first, because if everyone Michigan is offering acceptances to have amazing stats like that... I'm out for sure. Edit: Some quick conversion and averaging leads to the following... of the 4 admits that gave their stats, they average out to: V165 / Q162 / W5.75 / 3.94 gpa. That is outstanding.
  22. Right there with you. Good luck to everyone!
  23. Congratulations!! It's on...
  24. That would be some epic trolling; in which case the perp should obviously be put in prison for life. Note how Michigan is called three different things across four posts; and how the scores attached are ridiculously good? I could believe it more if there wasn't a rejection there. And of course, if someone in here was taking credit for one of them. Edit: and... while I wrote that, 2 more rejections popped up...
