Met with my advisor today and we are now refining my first original study idea! Now to work on designing the exact methods! First year, first semester, first project; never thought I'd be saying that...
-
Just changed my signature to "already attending". I never thought I'd be doing so this year. Never give up.
-
Just realized that I can change my signature to "already attending" in about two weeks... my program starts in July, can't believe it's almost here!
-
Met with my advisor for the first time today and she's found me a very cool first project that is a perfect match for my background and interests! Excited to hear more!
-
Accepted my PhD offer on the day of my last undergrad final (and received a very nice and prompt email from my advisor)! I'm going to grad school!!
-
Accepted!!
-
Skyped with the prof who recruited me to apply for now at confrence (where I would be fully funded at an R1) which went well! Then rejected from the one school I offically interviewed at... You win some lose some...!
-
Paid RA search is starting off well: first interview request received the day I applied (and at an Ivy)!
-
Just when I thought I was shut out... I met a prof at conference who is looking for students, we chatted about my thesis and a proposed study, she mentioned we'd probably have a lot in common and gave me her card and welcomed my app for either this or next cycle! Wow! Now to reevaluate my plan again...
-
Spring Break Day 1 = Writing a thesis and planning out what sessions to attend at my first SRCD, if only I had an offer it'd be better!
-
99% sure I've been shut out... due to a lack of funding post interview (so far implied) rejection. Ouch.
I love my field and I don't want to give up on my PhD but ouch. I will be be back next year! -
The post-interview wait is so much worse... so anxious to know if it's acceptance or (probable) shutout... so anxious I just want to jump out of my skin!

^^^^ so true!! I legitimately felt like I had been dumped by the love of my life when I got waitlisted after an interview. I didn't sleep the first night, cried the second, and my heart stopped beating when I got a generic email from the school. Keep wondering what I did wrong. Stay strong! No news is good news.

Looking at being shut out due to lack of funding at the only school I interviewed at (and was my POIs only prospective student there). Ouch
-
Had my first interview weekend over the weekend, what a great experience. Hoping it'll lead to an offer!
-
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...
-
Two persumed rejections, two prestigious UG award nominations at my school, and the possibility of two potential maunscripts from the meeting with my PI today... One interview in one week, it still only takes one yes!
-
Just got off Skype with a POI! First interview invite is a good news for a Friday afternoon!
-
First contact from a school today! Skype chat this week with my POI, hoping it goes well!
-
In the conclusion of a special issue of a journal in my field the editors (the POI at my top two schools) mentioned in their final sentence what I want to study for PhD should be... Hopefully one will admit me so I can do so!
-
Waiting... all the waiting... haven't heard anything yet hope it'll be soon... Currently reading (journal articles/for fun), running, checking my email and phone a lot...
It happened in such a strange way but it happened! 
Congratz!
