  1. Every day, I say a little prayer that the students ahead of my waitlist spot get into their dream schools.

      I will be rejecting two offers some time in April! I'm trying to make a decision as soon as possible... but still without funding info on one of them!

      I can also relate!

  2. If someone else decides that your new top choice is their bottom choice, you've got a shot. How exciting!

  4. It's been 2 years and 20 applications. Two waitlists are all that stand between me and being shut out completely. If I hear one more person tell me "Don't worry, you'll make it off the wait list." I think I'm just going to kick them in the shin... or the balls. I'm trying to get a research assistant or lab manager position, but if that doesn't work out, there's basically no reason for me to reapply for year #3. I really loved one of the programs. After I visited, I felt it was a perfect fit. My POI even had a similar background to me, and then I got waitlisted. I'm just so depressed and frustrated.

  6. When I went to an interview at one of the programs for social psych, all three of us who were hoping for the spot with a specific POI had at least some graduate training. My masters is finished, and the other two were working on theirs. I have a masters, am on the waitlist for 2 schools, and am probably rejected from 9 others. Take that for what you will. I haven't been accepted anywhere, but I don't know what the situation would be if I didn't have a masters. So I can't say yet how much it's helped.
  7. I haven't heard anything yet either.
  8. Does Billy Elliot speak to anyone else during this application season?

  9. I devoted the summer to studying. I made myself a schedule and stuck to it. My main concern was quantitative because I don't use that stuff everyday while language and vocabulary I do. I budgeted in times to take practice tests to see how I was progressing and just did tons of practice. (The year before that, I only spent a couple weeks reviewing and didn't do as well as I could to make me the most competitive applicant.) I did less prep for the writing section, just looked at the possible prompts from the GRE website. For vocab, I bought some of those sets of vocabulary terms from Manhattan Prep. I got 162 on the quantitative, so I felt pretty good about that considering I hadn't taken a math class since high school (so no formal math for like 8 or 9 years). It's just about spreading it out and not rushing through it. Take time to mess up and go back and try again. I just figured that buying a bunch of books was cheaper than taking one of those classes or paying for the test again.

  13. Yet another waitlist.

  14. Still no info after my interview from a week ago, even though they met as a department to decide 3 days later. I'm going to jump out of my skin.

      Happened to me last year. Turned out that the meeting had to be postponed by a week on short notice because a conflict popped up.

  19. pea brain
  20. split level
  21. down low
  22. hold up
  23. stand around
  24. That's unfortunate, because the point should be to understand the stats regardless of the specific context.
