constantlyfretting

We're in the same boat for UNL it seems. My status on the website is still "Reviewing Application", I've been checking everyday to see if the message changes to rejected or waitlisted or whatever. It's kind of frustrating to have nothing but silence when applications were due in December and I have had contact with a program whose deadline wasn't until January. Though I suppose they're having to muddle through a much larger number of applications. This whole process is very taxing, but honestly I think coming here and commiserating with all y'all has helped me to feel less alone. So thank you

Wow, you managed to summarize the two conversations I had with professors about this whole thing in one paragraph. Hardly babble if you ask me. Thanks for the response. I think you're probably right, I will find out more during the actual interview itself.

I just got my first positive contact, a phone interview request from Baylor! Honestly, I expected to be rejected immediately so this is a huge surprise. It was kind of odd though, as the person who contacted me wasn't one of my POIs. I guess they might be part of a committee or something. Has anyone else encountered this? Good luck and positive vibes to all of y'all!
