Worries: Interviewed with my top choice program about three weeks ago and thought it went very well. They indicated I'd hear back "very soon" and I am increasingly worried that the delay means bad things for me. Currently high waitlisted at my second choice program and rejected/presumed rejected everywhere else, so there's a lot riding on this and the optimism is fading.
Excitement: I still have a chance at each of my top two programs, either of which I'd be thrilled to land at. I have an unusual background and have worked like hell for the last few years to put together an application, and to be this close is something I think I will end up being proud of regardless. This is my first go-round; I've also learned a ton about what kind of programs value my background, and will have a much better program selection strategy next year if necessary.
