I made the decision to not talk about the admission process with anyone other than my family. My stance has always been I’m going to wait until I hear back from every school before I discuss it.
This is 1.) to protect myself/my ego/my self esteem. I hold myself to a high standard and I don’t want to share my “failures” at this point. 2.) Out of respect for my peers. I’ve watched people talk about getting into their dream school knowing that someone else in that same room did not. I think people should be sensitive to sharing their successes. I have never asked anyone from my cohort where they have or have not gotten in. That is none of my business.
This forum is less personal so I feel like it’s not quite the same. But in terms of people I actually know...I don’t want to talk about graduate school with them until I have heard back from every school and made a decision.
