At this point I'm excited just to see everyone's interview requests start rolling in. I feel like this has been such a long process that it's kind of surreal that results are actually imminent.

I've been fantasizing about how I'm going to give my two week notice at work this summer

All my schools are stretch schools! Go big or go home.. right?

You can leave it there! They might send you automated emails reminding you of the deadline but it's no biggie.

Welcome!

From my understanding, they'll call or email you with anything that you need to know. Rejections may be different but I doubt they'd be sent any time soon. I think admissions committees are cognizant of the fact that people often aren't staying in the same place around this time of year.

My last GRE score was just received. I am OFFICIALLY done with all of my apps and am going to have a me weekend. We got this!

I'm STILL missing a GRE score and it is stressing me out, even though the school says not to worry.

Mirroring @honeyrue's comments, it's extremely variable between universities. Some tell you really early, and a small minority of others don't even interview. Hold tight and good luck!!

No worries! I think we're all here to mitigate as much anxiety as possible. Good luck!!

Did you already submit? I started the app and decided not to apply so they may have only emailed people who haven't submitted yet!

Berkeley sent me an email saying that there was a system error that delayed their process. Deadline is 12/3 at 7am Pacific.

I don't know of many schools that give a hard minimum, but if you're a bit off the average then yes I would certainly still apply if you have a strong fit along with your other credentials. If there is a true minimum that they require then I would be hesitant to apply since they may just filter out any applicants below that threshold. Every program is different, though.

Same here.. I've been sleeping terribly since I submitted my applications and I need a nap so bad right now.

Btw I was looking at the forums for chemistry because my SO is applying for chem PhD programs and I think we're the most neurotic bunch.

If any of these schools could see the number of times I log in to check on my app statuses I'd be in trouble.

Approved!

Real question is.. what games did you get?

Yeah I had another POI who I emailed yesterday and he said he would look at my app "very carefully". How about a cursory glance and immediate acceptance?

Also, anyone going to SPSP this year?

I had met him in person when I visited campus last month and got an email saying he thought I was a great fit with the department. So I took it as a good sign? Maybe?

Just a follow up on this.. both of the schools I was having issues with were waiting on the system to do its thing on the back end. One of them already showed up online. If you're worried I'd still follow up, though.

I ended up reaching out to any who gave me personalized responses to emails when I first reached out or who I met in person. I received three responses since this morning saying they'd keep an eye out for my app.

I sat down after work today and literally had no idea what to do with myself now that app season is over. I need a hobby...

I had a POI say "cool" when I told him I applied to his lab today. Does that count? ?
