  1. I already got notifications from two of the grad schools I applied to that I won't be taken for consideration any further. I didn't even get to have an interview. This leaves me with 2 grad schools I haven't heard from. The thing is the two I got rejected from where my safety schools. The remaining two are my reach schools. I pretty much have my answer now that I won't get accepted into those two since I got rejected from my safety schools. I graduated in May 2009 from college...but since the economy is terrible and I'm so unemployed...I've started to deal with deep depression. I haven't been happy in so long. I haven't applied for jobs in 3 weeks because I can't find any motivation in me anymore. I like knowing where my life is going but I really don't know right now. I thought going to grad school will put be back on track but after these two rejection notifications it's made my depression worse. My parents keep asking me when my interviews are...I can't bare to tell them I already got rejected from two without interviews. Anyone experiencing the same thing?
  2. The majority of my applications for graduate schools have been submitted. I've heard that applying for the early decision would give me better luck. Is that true? Anyway, since most of mine are in...I'm sitting and waiting to hear back from the universities I applied to. How long would it normally take? I just graduated from college in May 2009. I'm applying to jobs at the same time but since the economy is terrible..it's just as hard to find a job. I would really just like to know if I got selected for an interview or if I should search for jobs even harder. Anyone experiencing the same thing?
  3. I'm actually applying to get into a Master's program. I just graduated from college in May '09. I am 22 years old, so a apart of me feels like if I don't get accepted this year...I'll be able to apply again next year. On the other hand, I really don't want to experience the whole application process again this time next year. I'm 50/50 about wanting to go onto graduate school to get my Master's degree OR just getting a job for 1 year and apply again. However, since the economy is terrible...it's just as hard to get a job.
  4. The schools I've applied to have a way for Recommenders to electronically send them to the institution. Another option I've seen is sending it in by snail mail. I believe my recommenders made slight changes to each letter of recommendation for each university.
  5. I've applied to 3 graduate schools so far. I've done the best I could in college and in my internships. That being said, I know the 3 schools I've applied to have very competitive programs. I know if I don't get accepted into any of the three, I'm going to need a plan B. What are some things I can do for plan B? I know getting a full-time job is one option. Anything else?
