I see a couple Penn state acceptances!! Congrats! And a few USC rejections. Hugs all around.

Awesome news djb1993djb!

Yes, I think this is very important to keep in mind. Your mentors and advisors are there to help you make the best decisions. This is what has helped me through some rough nights.

Congrats!! I have a friend at Vanderbilt who really loves it there. I mean, Nashville is just such an awesome town.

I agree and I have to say, I'm ashamed for my small part of it. It did strike me the wrong way, but I think I'm just a bundle of nerves. This one time will, I hope, serve as a reminder to be more forgiving of what people post in the throes of happiness. I wish us all that same happiness. Thank you, hypervodka and hreaðemus for bringing me to my senses All I want is this for all of us:

It doesn't come off as nasty to me, but it's possible. I don't think anyone who is stuck in the limbo of waiting is necessarily sane, whether they check the results forum or not. Aside from that, hubris in all it's forms is probably something we should all be careful about. I apologize though if what I said came off as snarky in any way, it wasn't my intent. I think we're all in for wake up calls in grad school.

I have run out of positive vibes, but this was just what I needed.

Yeah, I presume rejection from Chicago and Berkeley, but I'm saving a small kernel of possibility just in case. After all, people do decline, wait listers can receive other options, and paths can open up. However, it is a struggle to remain positive sometimes!

I agree, but I suspect that humility will arrive in the first week of the program when they realize how little they actually know.

Hahaha, that would be awesome. We are the future!

This was me trying to struggle through fears of rejection and anxiety last night: And this morning after the rough night: And what I'm telling myself now:

I completely agree WT. I think it's just the nature of both this process and the human mind. In the daytime things always look better, but at night the creeping self-doubt starts. I had a pretty rough night of sleep myself, but it's now daytime and I'm telling myself (and you by extension!) that it really is still early days. Also, I believe that's from 46 & 2 by Tool

I see a Stony Brook acceptance! Congratulations! I didn't apply there but stony brook holds a fond place in my heart for hosting I-CON.

See, this is what I mean. You all are just awesome and supportive. Like others, I had heard otherwise, but I am glad I did not listen! I'm certain we will all have many things to celebrate in the next couple weeks

Congrats hreaðemus!!

YAY!! Congratulations!!

Way to go!!

*twiddles thumbs idly* all seems quiet on the Western front. I keep trying to remind myself that it is literally 8am over there, but that's not helping.

I just want to get in somewhere where some of you fabulous people are going because you are all, by far, some of the nicest and smartest people I've interacted with virtually.

If I get in I think I'll be as confused as Jon Snow is about this dire wolf, but then we'll become best friends and it'll be awesome.

Ohhhh you are right. Feb. 5th, my mistake!
