Which brings me to a question I've had for a few days now... when do we normally hear back from schools? Most websites for the schools I am applying to say they'll let applicants know in mid-March... is that really for the folks who do not get in, though? Do we really hear back as early as late January?
Busybee, I liked your comments a lot- many good points. I, for one, have turned to adult coloring books, homemade cappuccinos, puzzles, and some fiction books in order to de-stress after the application season. I hope everyone else is able to enjoy the holiday season and take a break, as well! (I also got about 15 ethnographies from the local library, but first, coloring!)
