2017applicant

Something I've been trying to do every day recently has been to really limit my time on here. I start the day with a little meditation, do a check of this form and blog, and then I'm OFF it until after the work day. As best as you can, it's helpful to stay present minded to whatever you have going on (i.e. work, friends, etc.) I joined a trivia team, go for runs, read awesome books, and try to just keep myself occupied and grateful by doing things I love to do. I don't mean to sound preachy or dismiss your frustration (the reality is, this process bites for all parties involved haha), but I hope maybe this helps a little?
 
Nice use if perturbed

I actually laughed out loud in my cubicle reading this! Thank you for posting haha!

Joining this a little late, but I actually reached out to Penn just to inquire about the general timeline. I expected them to tell me that I was rejected immediately, but, instead, they said the department was reviewing decisions currently and we should all know by March 1. So, maybe there is still hope?Also asking cautiously yet optimistically
Either way, good luck to everyone on here!
