So I applied to Boulder, Oregon, Utah University, and Wyoming...Boulder and Oregon both rejected me within the same week and I hadn't heard from Utah or Wyoming so I started applying for jobs and resigned myself to believing my chances were gone. I got invited out to Wyoming yesterday!! AHHH!!!! Does anyone know what that means as far as my chances of getting in? I mean I know that's better than being rejected..but I'm worried that I'm going to get my hopes up again and end up being denied. Best wishes to everyone!

I'm doing the same thing :/ I got rejected from Boulder (my top pick) and Oregon. I'm still waiting to hear from Wyoming and Utah, but as of now I'm just assuming I didn't get in.

I agree! It's nice to know that You aren't the only one going absolutely insane! I hope you get in to Boulder! Which other programs did you apply to? I also applied to Wyoming, Utah, and Oregon. I wanted to apply to more but I couldn't manage to afford any more It's insane how expensive it is to potentially just be told "sorry but no". I want any rejection letter I get to be delivered to my house by a medieval type delivery man on a horse.

Desert bee, you too!! Thanks Hopefully we will all get in to at least one of our top 3!

kjweber It's maddening! My poi is Jim White - I am interested in doing research regarding paleoclimatology/ geochemical effects of climate change on permafrost regions. I had a Skype interview with him that went well..but I am really awkward and shy in person so I just hope that didn't ruin it for me :/. I am seriously in love with all of his work..I want to do what he does more than anything! How about you??

Waiting is literally driving me crazy!! I can't stand not knowing. I know I did everything in my power to get accepted but I still have this horrible sinking feeling that I'm never going to get into a grad program

I had a dream that Bill Nye gave me my acceptance letter to CU Boulder...Reality is depressing. I've applied to 4 schools (I couldn't afford to apply to any more) and I haven't heard a thing from any of them! I've never felt so anxious in my life!! Good luck to everyone..hopefully no news is good news!
