@chemthrowaway Ehhh maybe try a little bit harder if you wanted to stay anonymous? Saying that you included your current institution on the list and listing your state in the location part is like lowkey hoping someone would recognize you on Gradcafe.
It seems this entire process stressed you out way way more than it should lol
Yeah...it kinda did, oops. Thanks for letting me know! I'm just super stressed because I haven't heard back from anywhere yet, so I kinda jumped the gun a bit there.

All of you guys have such amazing stats... Getting worried I'm going to get rejected from all my schools!

I see. Sad!

Didn't get any phone calls (am abroad) or emails, but this appeared in my portal for Scripps:
Is this a good sign?

Has anyone applied to Princeton or UW-Madison? My status is only just like "submitted". Is that yours? I was wondering if they have started reviewing or not.
Princeton is also just "submitted" for me. Now I'm worried I got rejected ?

Someone else (God I wish it were me) from my school got accepted to Northwestern for stat mech!

Nice...Scripps was the only "free" school I applied to unfortunately...
-
I feel lucky that I only applied for 6...10+ sounds terrible! Where did you guys apply?

Made an account because I couldn't bear the anxiety. Applied to 5 schools for orgo and 1 for chemE.
