Admissions anxiety: dreams/nightmares?
FantasticalDevPsych replied to MathCat's topic in Waiting it Out
I think instead of dreaming it, I'm living mine right now. I received my first interview invite and then met with my current PI where I learned of three presumed rejections at once (one is now official). My only other school is also not looking good. I'm now possibly facing being shutout depending on the results of one interview (though I really loved my POI there and could imagine myself there and working well with her). I wish it was a nightmare but it's real. The dreams/nightmares will probably start to increase as the interview gets closer. -

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!

Preparing for Interviews

I actually had this specifically mentioned by a POI! -

I second this advice especially as I had my first Skype chat last week! The advice I received beforehand (from several profs) was to be comfortable talking about your research (like a thesis or something) and general research interests and to prepare some questions to ask them! I said a little about my interests but mostly ended up asking questions to the prof!

To answer the question about application status: For me it depends on the school. A few of mine say something like sent to the department for review and others just say submitted. And I've also had a few people who are convinced I'll have several interviews/offers but that made me nervous though it's helped to hear from somewhere about an interview.

I'm now dealing with the wait by trying to focus on classes/research and the Australian Open (I'm a tennis fan), but am still having problems with the wait and obsessively checking gradcafe!

I think everyone as I received the generic official invite from the grad coordinator about 5 minutes after I got off Skype with my POI!

Thanks for the info! *fingers crossed*

Just got off Skype with a POI! First interview invite is a good news for a Friday afternoon!

I'm curious about this too as I haven't heard anything from them either!
