No worries! We're all the same boat. Let's just all try to stay sane...

Congrats! Hopefully they send you info on funding soon.

I'm not from those schools but if they've sent acceptance letters it means they've probably sent rejection letters also. If you haven't gotten a rejection, they've most likely not made a decision on your application yet. Good luck.

Thanks. And yep it's brutal but I know I'm definitely not the only one going through the same monotonous routines. Just going to have to try and be patient.

Yes, I spoke to Anne-Marie. She said there were still a lot of administrative things to take care of. Good luck with UCSD Bioengineering they're program is awesome and congrats with UCLA so far.
-
I called them and they said no decision has been made on my application yet and that it would potentially be another 2 weeks or so. Did you apply for MS or PHD?
-
I'm not sure about other departments but the Bioengineering department says they're behind on applications. I guess they're all just really impacted right now. Lots of applicants this year maybe?

Some song called "Wind and Water" by Nature. I Pandora'd calm relaxation music. Have to keep my nerves in check somehow in these final few days of waiting.

The waiting part is nerve-racking and might make you feel like you don't care all that much but I think once you get that acceptance letter it'll all go away. Schools don't purposely hold onto applications to see prospective students suffer so in that way you shouldn't think negatively of any school that hasn't replied yet.

frwang,
Did you apply to the stats program, too?
No I applied to the Bioengineering program.
-
I'm hoping they tell us today so we won't have to wait another weekend to hear back.

It's important to remember that even though you were rejected, you were among the many and it sounds like you're doing great already. As hurtful as it is to receive a rejection, you can always reapply and if you choose to do so it shows perseverance and high self-motivation. It's okay to feel bad of course but don't forget that there are many things to be thankful for as well. Stay confident in yourself and what you're doing and remember that a PhD is only a supplement to the vast amount you have already achieved so far.

Congrats to everyone who got in so far! For those still waiting, keep your chin up and don't lose hope!
-
Thank you for your optimism, frwang. I sincerely doubt I still have a shot, but I really do appreciate it.
I hope for the best for you.
