      well done, congrats!

    Moving to CO in 3 weeks, and my husband was finally offered a job yesterday. I'm so glad since I was responsible for his anxiety from having to find a new one since we're moving for my PhD program.

      Good luck to him.

    Rejected by WUSTL off the waitlist on the deadline day...

      Well, at least you don't have to go through this fun application process again. (This was my 2nd time doing it because I didn't get in anywhere last year.) So there's always that.

      Thanks so much. I haven't been this excited in years. Didn't realize I could still be that excited anymore.

      Thanks guys. It came in the least conventional way possible, but since I'm a nontraditional student, I guess it just made sense that way.

    That awkward moment when your friend gets off the waitlist, but you don't.

    1. FinallyAccepted

      does that guarantee you won't get a spot, then?

    So after trying out 11 different baskets, it looks like all my eggs are left in one. I sure hope that basket accepts me.

      Thanks guys. I'm just so frustrated since this is my second year doing this. I have an interview this weekend that I'm going to try not to look desperate for.

    Application season is an emotional roller coaster that you are riding in the dark so you have no idea when you are going up or down...

    I know I should be ecstatic about a 3-day weekend, but part of me is screaming "No! Another 3 days before I could potentially hear something back from admissions..."

      No. Social Psych. I should be hearing soon about potential interviews, but not soon enough.

    Having put tracking software on my emails to POIs when I first contacted them, I am now seeing they are re-viewing my messages! So...are you going to invite me to the interview or what?! Ugh!

    Starting to wish I didn't apply to TEN programs. That's 10x times the anxiety! Could be 10 rejections, or if I have better luck, some really tough choices ahead of me.

    1. FinallyAccepted

      FinallyAccepted

      You'll have a decent idea by next month if you have a chance to get in. My SO is in the same boat. Uncertainty is good for neither of us. Last year by mid-Feb, I knew that I hadn't gotten any interviews.

      As for all rejections, just remember, I know from experience that it doesn't actually kill you.

      The odds wouldn't necessarily be that you'd be accepted to 10 schools (not a comment on your competence), but you should be so lucky to have so many options. Right? If having to choose between schools was your biggest stressor, you'd still be doing better than many on the site.

    To add on my last status about totally unsupportive, insulting family member - just got told by them that I won't get into any PhD program because I'm not smart enough. Ugh. Wish I didn't let it bother me so much.

    1. FinallyAccepted

      FinallyAccepted

      Well, here's hoping that the next time they open their mouths to criticize, that you have an acceptance letter you can stick right in there. (I have family that are not accepting of who I am and lots of practice in making sure that I don't care).
