Don't Panic

Living on my poison of choice, DORITOS. Spicy Sweet Chili, Cool Ranch, Spicy Chipotle BBQ and my favorite Nacho Cheese! And Peanut Brittles. Lots and lots of Peanut Brittles!

Great news, Forsaken & Khannnn! Congratulations to both of you.

I did the same thing. I was so embarrassed! Though not to the universities you've mentioned.

That's so very apt!

Congrats! May all of us be so lucky!

I'm on the same boat. I'm an international applicant. I've got MSS and reaching my late 20's. If I don't get funding for a PhD I can't move to another country. :-(

So sweet of you, sarab! :-)

Ok now I'm officially sad. :-(

'the cause of and the solution to all of my problems', like Homer Simpson and beer, huh?

Look, I have had my share of teachers who underestimated me, drew wrong conclusions about my dedication and generally maligned me to all. But all that was during my undergraduate years. My M.S.S. adviser and I didn't have that much in common but she wasn't malicious or anything. I think you made the right choice. You have been polite with him. Regarding what he thinks of you, you can't really change that can you? I don't think elaborating on your reasons why would be much helpful. He doesn't seem like the kind of person who would understand. That's just my two cents. Best of luck for the future.

You've said it, colorless! Let's do it!

Oh thank you so much! I really appreciate this! was beginning to wonder.

What about Leos, eh?

Oh yeah it does feel like I'm in "Waiting for Godot". Sigh! When will this end?

Congrats Daykid and Sarab!

I can. When you're an International Student with no money to speak of, you have no option but to apply to only 2 or 3 programs and hope for the best. It's a terrible situation to be in but such is life.

Tell me about it! Same here. This really bites!

I'm seeing two acceptances for Washington University In St. Louis on the results page. If any of you are here, can you please tell me which field are you from? Also, if you don't mind, can you PM me about your scores (GRE, GPA)? I've got nothing. No rejection even. I'm kind of freaking out here.

If that's true then it makes me feel a little bit better.

Same here. I have to get up at 5.30. I 'try' to get some sleep for that. Can't risk falling asleep at the job right now! Checking the mail in the morning has become such a scary thing for me nowadays.

As an International Applicant, that's even more true for me! I can't sleep at night thinking about how I may be getting an email while I sleep.

I haven't heard anything from any of the universities yet. No acceptance, no rejection. Whether that's good or bad I don't know. Do you know I have made a screensaver with the quote, "This too shall pass."? Made it myself and have been using it ever since this waiting game started.

Same here. Hahaha
