Congrats to the latest UVa acceptance! And..... another one. Can somebody claim one of these? Was it a mass email?

Thanks Goldie!! Apparently I'm at that point where I need inspirational quotes.....

This is really bad for concentration. I've set up a very ambitious reading list to prepare for the Fall (please don't let it all be for naught!) and I'm already behind because I run out to the mailbox and check my email every five minutes. Oh, the agony.....

Stay strong Sandy!!!!!

Hey ArcLight, Thanks for this. I was wondering if you might have any further info on Temple, such as when acceptances went out and if they went out in one fell swoop.... Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Congrats Goldie!!! It looks like this app cycle is pretty much over for you, right?

Does anybody want to claim that other Temple acceptance? The weight of the Yale rejection has crept up on me

Congrats TeachGrad!!!!

Hey, many thanks for your response! It's been a rough day, what, with the Yale rejections and all.... Can I ask what your subfield is? Of course, PM me if you would prefer.

I was ok with Yale's rejection - whatever, their loss. But that Temple post is scaring the bejesus outta me.

Nobody for Temple? I'm feeling pretty down in the dumps......

Hey, can anyone claim the Temple acceptance? PM me if you wish...

And....... I've been rejected at Yale. No surprise but it still stings. Maybe now i can get some good​ news!

Oh my god.... That's amazing!!!!! Is there any coffee left within a 50 mile radius of you? If you adjust for weekdays/weekends, it looks like we are right in the thick of it. I just remembered how abominable/non-existent my Excel skills are.

Yeah, me too...... I read my writing sample last night for the first time in months and that made me feel a little more confident, but I really need a positive and concrete response from just one of my programs. Sigh.

If only we could have one of those midnight decision rushes......

Oh, AFB I'm so sorry. That's terrible. If it has to be next year we'll be right here to help you put together an indisputably awesome app. You can be next year's TMP!

Amen, Selah. Now, back to refreshing the results page............

I so don't want to go to today's monthly Historical Society meeting......... I want to lie in bed and eat cake while I watch you guys discuss Foucault

Hear,hear! I was googled twice last night and it actually just made me crazier.

Yeah, I like this actual chit-chatting thing!! I'm stuffed with lamb and parsnip mash and now we're going home to devour a chocolate cake and watch a bad 80s comedy. Let the application stress dissipate until morning........

There is no way to describe the intense anxiety, fear, nervousness, and impatience that I am mired down in. I hate junk mail - so much. I kinda want to go pay little kids in the village to call departments and see where they are in the process.

That's an interesting twist on the idea of "fit." It can be as much about what they lack as it is what their strengths are. What a wacky process. Congrats Safferz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because we have an eye towards posterity as well as delusions of grandeur.
