I have been zen and then panicked and then back to zen again....in a matter of one day. I have heard nothing yet. It's my first time applying, is silence good or bad???
Considering some of you have heard back from UCI and UofT, I guess my chances are pretty low for them i'm okay with that, I think. It would just be nice to know that you're rejected or wait listed or accepted rather than be in purgatory. In terms of coping, I think I've just set the bar low and have come to accept that I won't get in anywhere that way if I do get in somewhere its a pleasant surprise. Haha, probably not the best coping method, but hey, it works.
I guess my application wasn't that strong to garner any interviews as of yet...fingers crossed for some news soon. And I completely agree, the GRE make-or-break metric is a sham and is downright embarrassing. Don't we all value the dynamic nature of intelligence and the variability in student potential yet? How much longer will these tests be chained to application procedures? Unfortunate is the right word!
