    Got mine form Duke. I got rejected. It's a generic e-mail for me. hopefully you have better luck!

    By the way, I'm starting to feel crazy. I'm not sure if I should still wait for admits or just plan for next year already. Lol.

    Congrats on those Stanford Admits. I second @Valerian ! I would love to hear what standford says! Feel free to PM me as well if you're keen on sharing!

    I tell myself something similar, "This is my year! This is my year!"

    Oh man, congrats! I swore I wasn't going sign into the forum (I keep mixing up my password!). Who contacted you? I've been religiously checking my e-mail and empty. Lol.

    I did find the NCA's website but kinda got overwhelmed. I didn't even know about the difference between rhetoric and social science differences. Is there anyway or anywhere I can read about it?

    Thank you!

    I feel you. I stopped logging on during work hours because it's made my anxiety worse... as in I started overeating again (which is the sign I'm having an anxiety attack).
  10. pinoysoc
    Yes!!! I've been having a hard time meeting other ENFJs! Lol.

    I'm already in survival mode and planning to retake the GRE in May. I'm not as confident as I would like to in hoping that my GRE scores will not be determining factor. Lol. I also want to move out of St. Louis it's so bad because this place broke me!

    Congrats to all the acceptances! I'm already in survival mode and planning to retake the GRE in May. I thought this time, I was going to be more confident, but my abysmal GRE scores is making my anxiety run high. I haven't heard from any schools yet; however after comparing my 146/144/3.5 to everyone else's scores, I'm not that confident that I'll be getting in this year : (

    Guys, I'm starting to freak out. The first Penn State acceptance came in... Oh lord knows I want to get into this program... B A D!
  14. pinoysoc
    Also, for the UCLA & Irvine admits, were they e-mail or phone calls? I'm pretty sure everyone would like to know!
  15. pinoysoc
    Congrats to the Penn State, UCLA & Irvine acceptances. Care to claim them? To the Penn State admit, who called you? I'm a bit freaking out at the moment since I applied there as well and finished it in November. *WELP* *WELP*

    Welcome to the forum! Your background sounds exciting! It's okay to be nervous since all of us come from different backgrounds and god knows what's going to happen in the next few weeks/months!

    Is it bad that I feel jealous & sad that other people are getting news and I'm here still waiting?
  18. pinoysoc
    Congrats on The Ohio Sate acceptance! Anyone claiming it?
  19. pinoysoc
    @abenz It depends. Some schools will notify small changes like materials being received, etc. But usually the magic e-mail is the e-mail saying to check the decision has been made. Does that help? Some schools even e-mail from the department itself.

    Just checked my application right now: Submitted
  21. pinoysoc
    That's so awesome! What's the process like? I've never had to interview except for my MA.
  22. pinoysoc
    Lord, that sounds like my day... EVERY. SINGLE. DAMN. DAY.

    I'm very sorry to hear that @carolynb First of all, I really commend you for spreading your applications in different fields. Second, I'm so thankful that you're brave enough to share these heartbreaking news to total random strangers on the internet. Lol. However, there's a silver lining to all of this. BU is still reviewing applications so you can't necessarily count yourself out yet. You can take PCOM's acceptance as a sign that you're more than good enough to get into a school... nonetheless, a medical school! At the moment, my best advice for you is to just take it slow, and breathe. Looking for a master's program that's fully funded my not be in your best interest (since they're rare, but they're there). Just try to take small steps like rethinking your line of work if things don't work out for this application season. I highly suggest to take a step back from the application and reflect on what can be done better. Maybe the school wasn't a right fit (in terms of research interests). Have you revisited your SOP and see what could be improved? In terms of your GRE, I do feel you that some of us are not the best test takers (heck, I'm just like you with an abysmal 144/146/3.5), but do consider re-taking it. I was told by Utah State three years ago that my GRE's were the reason why I didn't get in. It stung, but by the time they told me, I was heading to a funded MA. The feeling of extreme discourage is temporary; I, myself, feel the same as each day passes and I don't hear from the schools I applied to. But, sometimes, it's hard to roll with saying 'it happened for a reason.' I wouldn't be here, applying for my third application cycle, if I gave up after getting rejected from 8 PhD programs in a row back in the 2014 application season. Heck, if you look at my activity, I was nearly depressed from all the rejections, but managed to bounce back up. Message me if you need more help! We're all here for you!

    Also, for those accepted, would you mind giving us your background? Totally optional, but might help ease everyone else's nerves!

    Congratulations! Really happy for you!
