The Whistler

I've applied to six schools but my chances are kind of meh, since they're all excellent schools, and I feel VERY insecure about this application. I'll continue working as a translator, take classes in an additional language, work on improving my application, and reapply. I guess I'll retire by the time I get accepted anyhere, so I should also be working on my retirement plan.

Hey guys, another candidate here. I've been lurking here for awhile, and decided to join today, since no one arounf me really gets what it's like. I'm going absolutely crazy. I've foolishly applied to six top schools in the US, and I have no idea how that will work out, since I am both a foreign student, and come from a small, absolutely unknown university in the middle of nowhere. I haven't done any work today, I just keep refreshing my e-mail, and getting mini heart-attacks if there's an inbox message notification. Good to know that I'm not the only one, though. Also, congrats to all those who got in.
