Not that I intend to drag this conversation into memery, but you all have reminded me of this:
Also, hi! This is my first post under this account. I was here about three years ago as I was applying for my MA, under the name "ChurchLover" (I'm a big fan of Frederic Church, as I am of William Henry Jackson). Long story short, I can't access that account anymore so I made this one. I'm just as anxious as all of you. I, too, look to be hearing from a school or two sometime this week, and every time I visit this forum it feels like I'm adding fuel to the anxiety-fire. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for myself and everyone else! This is a fickle, nerve-wracking process but at least we're in it together.
For anyone curious, I earned my MA at Tufts last spring and I'm more than willing to answer any questions about my experience via personal message. I don't know if I'll be much help but I'll put it out there anyway haha.
Good luck everyone, and may the odds be ever in your favor!
