My friends and professors all did the "I'm sure you'll get in somewhere" thing and it drove me up the wall. Now they're all like "We're sure you'll get multiple offers" and I know that they mean well, but FFS I wish they wouldn't. I definitely went into decision season with low expectations, considering my first rejection came on CHRISTMAS EVE, the fact that even one program took interest was a pleasant surprise. I guess the motto of grad school application season is "Prepare for the worst, hope for the best"

I wouldn't say no to a group chat. Knowing that there are others out there who are going through extremely similar situations is comforting in a way, we can commiserate about wanting to throw our phones every time we get a junk email or spam call. ?

I'm absolutely with you. I'm bouncing back and forth between extreme panic and losing the will to live. There's no real "decision dates" for my field so it's just this long, drawn out hell of uncertainty.

I applied to CSD and I've heard absolutely nothing. Totally joining you in the dying of anxiety corner.
