Oh, I see. I agree that the forum can be a bit stressful at times. However, since most people in my life have trouble understanding this experience (since they've never been through anything similar), I personally find a lot of comfort through the sharing on here. Someone mentioned in another thread how they couldn't stop re-reading their SOPs and I could related to that feeling so much. I was glad I wasn't alone in this and going slightly crazy And I appreciate that we can often provide much needed perspective to one another. Good luck everyone with your applications and please remember to take care of yourself as well!

Wow.. sad to see you go. I just don't understand, what could people on here be misleading about? I usually give credit to most info on here (maybe I'm too naive), since it's all anonymous. As in, I don't understand what someone could gain from posting not so truthful information on gradcafe. Again, I'm sorry you've had this experience.

Hello everyone :) It's great to meet you. I just submitted (a couple of days ago) my applications to UVic and UBC. I've been waiting quite a while to join you all. How's everybody doing?
