Is anyone else having trouble viewing the results page?

That happened to someone else on here! Maybe I need to reject them in order for them to accept me? What is going on with them. I wonder if the department knows this is happening.

Yay!!!!! Congratulations!!! Very happy for you!

I hear you lady, shopping is my therapy also. I thought it would be easier this second time applying but it's not, it's actually worse. My mailman knows me all too well for the same reason and I admittedly have said some really bad words while waiting for him growl on my face,lurking out the window, being extremely upset for being an hour late. Yikes! You are right though we have no control over it and no matter what happens we will be okay. I know because I was devasted last year after being rejected to all of my schools and I actually booked a flight to a random place (Seattle) the night of my final rejection and I cried for hours camouflaging myself in the rain. I know dramatic right! But seriously I ended up okay, better than okay and it proved that I had a lot more perseverance and strength that I gave myself credit for. I also now have had some amazing experiences within the field that I wouldnt trade for anything. It WILL happen it just might take longer than others but if that happens it will be so much sweeter because you had to work that much harder. I wish you luck. I wish us both luck, as I sit with you in the same boat. "Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.” – Winston Churchill

Has anyone been accepted to Texas State and declining their acceptance? I was just waitlisted and this is my dream school!!! Anxiety just went to a new level. Congratulations to everyone especially all of you second and third time applicants you guys made it happen!

I am so excited for you!!! Judging from your awesome personality on this site I think you are going to one day make an amazing clinician. A huge congratulations to you!!!! Yay!!!

Agh! I was waitlisted too and from the looks of it, the waitlist is a mile long. O well you never know, I still have hope. This is the school I have been waiting three months for. Wish me luck!

Me too! I wish I could be as naive and casual about this process as Olaf is about summer! Haha! http://www.cgmeetup.net/home/tag/frozen-olaf-the-snowman/

So I decided to do some research to a question that has been bogging my mind, GPA calculations. Two of my schools are on an ABCD scale vs using any sort of plus or minus. The school I graduated from counts pluses and minus's and they can hurt or improve your GPA significantly. I found out today that my last two hopes for grad school,second time applicant, count my A- 's as a 4.0 which gives me a 4.0 in my CSD classes and a 3.85 overall!! This helps me a lot! For the first time in forever I have some hope! Does this help anyone else? Good luck to everyone and congrats on enduring one of the toughest admissions processes out there!

Ahhhhh I meant to respond to your post and I gave you a minus by accident! How do I fix it? I'm so sorry.

We won't be hearing from Texas State until April! Ugh! I'm dying to. Also I found out that Texas is on an A B C D scale and they calculate your gpa based on their grading system, so if your like me and have been knocked down by minuses this could help you. Good luck!

Called Texas State and said we wouldn't be hearing until April most likely. ):

This is my second time applying and I have already had four rejections!! Two more to go and the last two are my top choices. I am praying for some sort of miracle. Glad I'm here with people in the same boat. Let's hope for Those life boats to come soon, I can only float on this door for so long, and I lost my Leo a while ago.

Has anyone heard from New Mexico State or Illinois state? I see that acceptances have gone out but I have heard nothing. I am really hoping that is not a bad sign /:

Thank you for possibly creating some room for me at Texas State! Its my first choice!! Your amazing!

Waitlisted.

I just saw that too. I need someone to shoot me with a tranquilizer gun so that I stop obsessing. I have a 30 pAge paper due, my brothers coming into town, and I have parent teacher conferences next week and all I can do is think about GRAD SCHOOl!

No email from Portland over here either. I had called yesterday and she said decisions had been made and notifications would be going out next week.

yay!!! So happy for you! Is this your first choice!

I second that one. This anxiety is driving me crazy! This is my second time applying and I feel the pressure even worse this round. I can't even watch the voice anymore, it's too analogous to my life. I just need one chair to turn around!! One !! Praying for not only myself but for all of you! Congrats to those of you that have been accepted! quote name="PsycD" post="1058099466" timestamp="1394119835"] Just think...in about 3 weeks, this will all be over...and thank God for that! My nerves cant take much more of this. I think we should all "meet" here on April 1st and have a drink "together."

Baha oh my gosh that's too funny. I guess we need to be more optimistic, there is a chance, even it is one out of 500! Did you go to their information day?

Vent post: just called Texas State and they said they have barely started reviewing and that they have over 500+ applicants this year. This is my second year applying and this is my first choice. Kinda of freaking out right now. How am I ever going to beat out 500 other people. This stress is making me sick. I can't think about anything else! Ahhhhhh!

I think we all have to remember that this process is stressful and it's hard to work extremely hard for something and be let down. It's a hard lesson and it takes some of us a longer time to get a grip and move forward. I was angry too, but I realize that I can't let myself get too inside my head because it drives me crazy. I think we should ease up on this guy. It's a form if venting and it's governed obviously by emotion. Attacking doesn't make anyone look good.

I completely understand where your coming from and I don't think it's egotism at all. I am angry for you. You seem to be an amazing candidate. I am in the same spot, so I empathize. I have applied twice to the same school had great stats the first time, made it to the interview round, and this year I am even better with greater experience, and they didn't even give me an interview. I want to storm in that office and say " what the f**** " but letting my emotions rule won't help my case. I just have to hope I get another opportunity because I love the field and I know I am good enough. One day I will prove that, and Might even be grateful for not being in that program. I think decisions can be very political and based on the right "fit" which is completely subjective and not necessarily the best. I am constantly on this site because it's somewhat therapeutic as I wait in agony for more schools to decide. Its also nice to know your not alone in the frustration and stress of it all. I wish you luck and I have a feeling that down the road you will prove to Berkeley what they missed out on and who knows you might forget they ever existed. (:

Thanks guys. It so nice to have people empathize! I have six more schools, and I will keep my fingers crossed for all of us!! I continue to congratulate all of those with acceptances and wish the rest of you all the luck in the world. Goodness knows we need it!
