get out

...this year, many schools are pushing back their admission notifications a little later than they did in previous years (probably because of the ubiquitous financial issues blooming across the country, thus taking it longer for grad schools to manage next year's budget)... I called a few schools today and they told me that they are hoping to send admission decisions out by end of first week of April (unlike previous years, when they usually adhered to March deadline)... but they also hinted that their deadline for them to send out notifications is also April 15, meaning this waiting game could possibly go ALL THE WAY to the very bitter end, all the way to the deadline for us applicants to respond on admission offers... Well, March is almost ending, so I guess I better pray for good news during first couple weeks of April...

Nope, haven't heard a word from that one either... this waiting game is getting on my nerves...

Halfway through this week, the last week of March, and yet still no word from other remaining schools...

For me, when I received my first rejection, I was rather apathetic, thinking "meh, kinda expected", probably because it wasn't my top choice anyway haha... although it was rather annoying to receive the grad school's official rejection letter THREE MONTHS after I received their departmental rejection letter (especially when I am constantly checking my email for good news from remaining schools)...

Ah I see... do they also want you to respond to their offer by April 15?

This will truly be an AWESOME WEEK!
