Babbling Dweeb

Baby face

Heck no...what if the email comes in while I'm taking a break?!?! Must...check...email...must...check...zzzzzzz....REFRESH! zzzz.....

I got one of those yesterday (well, not from MIT...but...) and I think I grabbed my chest before I clicked the mouse. On one hand I hate them for emailing me that notice...on the other hand there is some comfort in knowing that for a few seconds at least their computer systems know I exist AND they have all the parts of my application.

To make matters worse, my email notification went off yesterday afternoon...I looked at the email and it was from one of the schools and what I could see of the subject at that time said "Admission..." I think my heart skipped a beat. It was just an email to let me know they received my application. Um...I submitted it weeks ago, maybe you could have emailed me weeks ago!? ARGH!! I have nubs with two digits where I once had fingers with three digits.

I'm also obsessing...looks like some people posted when they applied to the IR/IA programs, but no results yet. What helped me was to look back at the 2009 information for the school(s) I was applying to. It looked like for certain programs the second week in March through Mid-April were when people received notice in the mail. I don't know if I can wait that long without passing out
