Nova GRE Math Course and Magoosh (note: referral link) .   I have more advice on getting a high quant score here.

The last email I got said 4-6 weeks...today marks the end of 6 weeks since that email?

@Lucy22 We'd be having so much food if I lived around
Emailed the admission administrative assistant (aka the person they put on the webpage as whom to contact) who told me they're not done with decisions yet basically and told me to contact my POI if I need to know now. So I think I'll just wait a little bit more. 

I did and I am just too confused: I wrote to 3 programs directors. The first one was Boston College: got accepted and didn't knew because postal service in my country sucks.
The second one is the one that has me  feeling anxious: I wrote to the director of BU Romances Studies to know if the had already send admissions for their Ph.D program (to see if I should give up hope) and I got a mail from the administrative assistant telling me that my application was still on consideration and asking me to be patient and wait a little more for an answer. I know that BU has already send admission letters to other people for that Ph.D. Does this means I am on a internal waiting list? Should I keep hope? I have a very good offer from BCollege, so in any case I am going to Boston on the fall, but I don't know what to think. BU was my top choice from the beginning so I can't help feeling really anxious.
Also, I wrote to U of Toronto director of the Romance L and L for the MA program, but it was a copy-pasted from the one I wrote for BCollege and forgot to change the name of the university.  That was two weeks ago, haven't got an answer.

Hi! You have my empathy. I'm torn out by the waiting game right now... One POI told me that I'm for sure one of her potential candidates, and that she would like to set up a Skype meeting with me as soon as funding are secure. But.... that was 2 weeks ago LOL.

Not fun is an understatement :')

Yes. Psygeek. I am the same as you. Today it''s a Month since my interviews. I got two interviews. But still I am waiting. Since I can reduce my stress level while I cook, I really want to host brunch ! 

Same! Every time my phone dings to let me know I have an email, I have a short panic, and then die a little inside when I realize it's something completely unrelated to grad school. 

I am trying to remain calm but I get grumpy everytime and I get an email on my main inbox and it's not related to Grad school admissions or when people ask me "how are the applications going?/Did you hear back from any school?" 

You're definitely not the only person experiencing this. I start to get irritated with people around me for little reason, remember they are in no way at fault, calm myself down and... rinse and repeat!
 

Yes. Let's wish our best of luck. Hope we get in!! 

I vacillate between being extremely grumpy, weirdly serene, and an enormous ball of tangled nerves and anxiety. Honestly, I'm ready to be put out of my misery, haha. 

Thank you for your your reply! According to admissions, I should hear back by the end of March:( Isn’t the wait the worst?! Lol. I hope you get good news soon! Wish you the best of luck ?
