  1. Thanks! Good luck to everyone! I deduced that I received 0 invites this cycle and will try my best for the next cycle. For those with even just a single interview, know that hundreds of applicants would die to be in your shoes. I'm a bit heartbroken (0 invites from 10+ applications), but also have the foresight and resilience to get through another year. I'm just happy I get to finally take off these worry pants and go back to the focused grind. Best of luck to those with interviews and those still holding out!
  2. Update: Apparently all UBC-V invites were sent out via personal email. No news on UBCO. I saw later invites on gradcafe's results page for UBC-V in previous cycles, so maybe invites would still get sent if those invited were not a good match! Don't lose hope! Anyone news on Dal or UNB?
  3. Those who received invites / waitlists from UBC/UBCO, were these mass emails or private contacts? Can you DM your POI?
  4. Anyone know the following: UBCV UBCO Saskatchewan MEM Waterloo I've heard UBCV and O send rejections by first week of march. But the rest usually sent them in mid-feb? Anyone got info?
  5. Yeah... that can be so awkward for the first month or so. Just remember not to be salty towards the newcomer and keep your head up for the next cycle! That will demonstrate resilience and interpersonal skills. Source: Someone with 0 grad school invites.
  6. @MyAmygdalaDoesn'tLikeThis lets start our own program! with blackjack and....
  7. Same. I don't want to get my hopes up, but I think if we haven't heard anything we've got a little chance. I think the ones rejected had an interview already. Can anyone chime in?
  8. Day 39: I'm at ends with Wilson. Today, he had the nerve to look at me the wrong way and I just blew up. I picked him up and threw him out into the forest. He bounced, and the sphere rotated, showing his idiotic tribal face smiling back as he fell into the abyss. Of course, I instantly regretted this, and spent the next hour or so trying to find him with only the faint moonlight. I had to return to the cave because I knew if I stayed out any longer, the cold would manifest into a fever. I sit now inside my cave, by the fire, drinking warm water out of a reused can of peas, sipping the beverage seeped with herbal leaves, wondering how much long I'm going to last. I continue to read the markings on the walls by past survivors, and they all say the same... that I will be saved... but how can I know for sure? If I were to be saved, it would have happened by now...
  9. I am too! How many schools / rejections? I applied for 10 but got only 6 left
  10. I just got my plane tickets! To Greece... where I'll be bartending until the next application cycle.
  11. Day 38: It has been 38 days since D-day. My energy has quickly depleted since the new year has begun. Was I immature to think I could take on this voyage myself? Perhaps. I sit at at the sandy shore, watching passing ships, waving my torch, but they pass on without pause. I have heard of others, survivors like me, who had escaped this barren, destitute island once before... but they are only mere markings on the cave walls where I take shelter. My provisions are low, and I find to be scavenging the forests for high-fat, high-calorie, and low nutrient foods... it is strange in a land of scarcity that I have seemed to have gained a greater weight than I otherwise would have in civilization. I feel desperate. At nights, my eyes dart back and forth from the distressed woods washed ashore from the shipwreck, out to the black sea, thinking of maddening fantasies of fastening myself a makeshift ship and drifting out alone... to escape alone... to become a bartender in Greece... ...no...no... I've evidently fallen into delirium. I must find a way to keep my sanity, somehow. note: melodramatic shit post
