seriously!!!!! I'm DYING WAITING TO HEAR!!!!!!

Yes thank you all for understanding what it's like!!! Just got my official Stanford rejection...ugh! I guess it's good to take the mystery out of things but...ugh! This whole process can be so frustrating when people tell you to "stay positive" or "there's always next year." I understand the people in our lives want us to feel good--but I feel like only we as applicants understand how much time and energy (AND MONEY) goes into applications--and how much we've staked on our potential futures. Right now at least it seems unfathomable going through all of this again (though I know many do before acceptance)--and figuring out the right path for my life depending on if I am really willing to go through this again. Anyway, I was worried I'd come off as whiny starting this thread--I don't want it to seem like I feel more deserving of these schools than others in this forum. Def not the case! I am definitely glad to be in this with others on this forum

(saw another section of the forum had one of these and felt compelled to make my own) Feeling very disheartened today after failing to hear from UCLA, Brown, and Stanford. Brown in particular hurts...it's my "dream" school and I was even waitlisted there for undergrad so rejection x2 is very lame... I know it's all part of the process and maybe some magical thing will happen where I receive an offer next week etc...But right now I am wallowing in the feeling of seeing "accepted" for my dream schools and looking at an empty inbox Others, please share your vents!!!

I second this motion!! Thanks for bring it up

Checked on mine--still just says submitted. CONGRATULATIONS THOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! seriously so amazing!!!!!!!!! Brown is the coolest school ever in my book. Side note: how is it that grad programs are so much more disorganized/staggered when it comes to announcing admit results? In the undergrad days, it was like "okay, everyone check and this time on this day!" for thousands of applicants. I'm sure it has to do with more individualized nature of the grad admit procedure, but come on! Maybe the application boards aren't hip to the communal anxiety of the Grad Cafe...;)

Haven't heard anything either! Just seen a few other posts re: NYU floating around here that are people wondering when they'll get around to announcing admits. I imagine things have been somewhat backed up due to a lot going on in NYC and then the crazy weather on the east coast recently (NYU was closed yesterday). I've been verrrrrrrry tempted to call and ask what their plan is for notifying admits..

--Finally make an account on this site after *ahem* intensely lurking for the past few weeks. Waiting to hear from UCLA, NYU, Stanford, Brown, and CUNY...I'm strugglin' to bide my time! I don't even care if I'm rejected at this point. I just wanna know and get on with my life! Congratulations to everyone who has been accepted so far!!!!!

Bless your soul!!! That listing from yesterday had me DYING!!! Now at least I will have a designated time frame in which to be paranoid
