I am hoping to find people I can relate to!
I applied to 14 different programs and have receieved only a single response, mid-February. Complete radio silence from everywhere else, and I'm finding it increasingly difficult to push it all from my mind. It's especially tough since where I get accepted will largely shape the specifics of what research I pursue, and so I am in this sort of purgatory where I don't know what I should be focusing on!
I'm trying to get my schoolwork done and focus on what needs to get done NOW, but the uncertainty is just so overwhelming. My fiance and I are moving away to grad school, and it seems so strange to not know where we will be living in just a few months, for the next 5 - 7 years.
Any advice on beating back the encroaching gloom? As the weeks drag on without any news, how can we stay hopeful? SHOULD we be hopeful??
