TAKE YOUR TIME IT ISN'T

At least for me I know results come around March 10th. But I check gradcafe everyday regardless.

The last post in my major's subforum was at the beginning of January and there will be no news from schools I applied to until March. There are generally no interviews either to go off of. I'm just sitting in a large abyss of uncertainty and it's terrible. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Worries: Poor GPA. Portfolio that is definitely hit or miss. For some reason I only applied to 5 schools all in the ivy league??? What was I thinking? I didn't even have a backup school! Completely rewrote an essay last second after being given advice from a Columbia professor. I've been a 2 cups of coffee a day person for over 5 years but since submitting my anxiety keeps me so jittery that I can't even drink tea. So there's that too. Excitement and pros: "Unique" portfolio that is definitely hit or miss? I played a special snowflake card. Decent GRE that I was hoping would offset the poor grades. I also clawed my way up into a management position in my field in 2 years to hopefully prove my work ethic since graduating. At least if I don't get in this year I already have a job so it's not like I'll be completely out of options...
