Hey so... I was accepted at the schools I applied to and I had a random and honest question:
Should I be happy if the schools say things like: "You're one of the students who the faculty are most excited about", "The graduate faculty was impressed by your portfolio"? Do they usually say these things to everyone they accept? I feel like I should be excited to read things like that but I've always doubted myself and my work, especially since I'm an international student and the level is high at US universities.
Anyways, congrats to everyone that has been accepted! And to those of you who are still waiting, I'm hoping you hear back soon with good news!
