over there

nada. crickets. it's taking all my energy to restrain myself from emailing the program and asking when decisions might be released.

We made it through the first week of February, everyone! Now to stay sane just a....few....weeks....longer!

All good points.....and yet the temptation is still there at times! I need to install an app on my computer that will prevent me from emailing schools for another month or so.

Oh, wow, you've heard back already from a Jan. 15th deadline?! That's great -- congrats! I'm waiting on Jan. 15th deadlines too. The days are dragging on....

I'm now ready for the decision. I bought champagne for good news, and chocolate Haagen-Dazs for bad. Bases covered.

bump. Come on, share your story! Extra points if you make me tear up.

Congrats, @gingin6789! Are these MA or PhD programs?

If I get a response like "we expect the notifications to go out around (X date)" that info alone would make me happy.

@Forveveronward, I feel your pain. It's only been two weeks since my deadline, and I keep looking at the calendar, wishing to fast-forward a month. I'm thinking about calling the office in a couple of weeks to ask when they send notifications. I can see from GradCafe that it is usually the end of Feb., but maybe if I call and ask I'll glean some insight on my status.

Why do your family/friends discourage you? I've been driving my SO a bit nuts talking about the admissions process. I think he's relieved I can take that energy and stress to GradCafe.

I don't have any great words of wisdom....I just wanted to send a virtual hug. I know how painful these moments of doubt can be. Hang in there, it's not over 'til it's over -- especially since new offers may be made in the weeks ahead as applicants with multiple offers made a decision and reject some schools.

It hasn't even been a week since since my deadline, and my emotions are already all over the place...one moment I'm feeling confident, the next I'm certain I'll be rejected. Someone here suggested an induced coma until March.....where do I sign up for that?

That should keep you busy for a while!

So sweet! Sounds like a perfect day.

How was your big day? Congrats!

Oh, I hope so. I'm starting to feel a little batty, and the deadline for my program was only this past Friday! The program is somewhat new, and there are only a couple of entries on the results page. They heard back in late February. Another month of roller coaster emotions -- one minute I feel really confident, the next I'm nervous that my low GRE score will keep me out.

I wouldn't read anything into it. Sometimes things just come up. A meeting runs late, a medical emergency happens..... I bet you'll receive an apologetic email soon with a request to reschedule.

Might there have been a miscommunication about the time? time zone differences?
