OMG.

Dear IAMSOSCARED please dont be scared! You are so lucky! Personally, I would be so happy to be on your place. Thank you for answering my question, and good luck to you ??with that call!!! I really hope they are still interviewing!

?? sorry guys just noticed the name IAMSOSCARED and can't stop laughing here on my own, in the night....sorry?

This gives hope to all of us??????????????? may be they are still interviewing?????????????????????

Do you think they are still interviewing? Wow that would be great!

Wow. Did you contact your POI before applying? And did you have an interview? Thanks for the answers?

Another reason why I quit waiting is that earlier this week I purchased some chocolate ?and a fresh bottle of milk? for that special "tea ceremony" devoted to opening the decision mail (I described the ceremony earlier)..But over these days I have eaten all that chocolate ? and milk is also over, so...?‍♀️

Yes, I am also planning to concentrate on other things starting tomorrow morning because this past week ALL my energy was wasted (?) for waiting ..since my further direction in life depends on Stanford decision, I was interested to be clear about it, to digest it, and to move on. Now i am kind of stuck..any way, I have to focus on other things which were left unfinished for the past weeks..

Well, I just went to see to the portal to check my status for any updates. I thought may be i can know even before they send me an email, and may be the decision already there.... But..it's not. No updates in the form. 21.18 evening here and I guess that tomorrow morning will be THE morning.......

?

Feel totally the same like both of you........

?‍♀️??

Good morning guys...So, as usually these days, the first thing in the morning to check my email, and this forum... I have nothing in my inbox this morning again..so I think what will come is a rejection letter. Last night, before going to sleep finally, I was reading about unconditional love to yourself. It was written there that I have to treat myself well and to value myself no matter what happens in my life (victories, failures, etc). In all those changeable variables, loving yourself must be a constant thing?. Reading that helped me a lot. This morning I realized that I am tired and exhausted of feeling like that: feeling miserable in waiting of whether I will be assessed as "good enough" or "not good enough". I am always good enough. For myself. So, I am going to have my tea and my good breakfast! Whatever comes, is ok.

???

Ok..i see.. Yes i think they mentioned during one of their webinars that an additional essay will be needed...just thinking over different possible scenarios...and thinking may be will go for masters...a lot of thoughts at night..and I am now literally like on this pic..staring at my phone in the dark of night...

I don't know whether you guys can relate but I stopped doing other things (I've got some important work to do, some deadlines etc but i cannot do other things as I am waiting for Stanford decision).. I mean I cannot concentrate on other important things as I feel kind of tension in terms of expecting Stanford result and I want to get the results soon, in order to get relief and to ultimately focus on other things. Also I was thinking: do they offer masters to all the rejected PhDs? Or only for those who identified they would agree for masters if rejected for PhD?

???

My update: 1.11 at night. Decided not to sleep because I won't be able to fall asleep anyway...so staring at my cell phone screen checking this forum and the results thread...

Thank you very much for the detailed reply...I appreciate this so much???

Hi guys! It's 23.31 here and I am afraid to go to sleep?? i am scared because i do not know what is gonna be in my inbox tomorrow morning when I wake up (it will be a day at Stanford area while it's night here so I suppose more decisions will be released during the daytime in US).... So, just wanted to share with you?????

Sorry may I please ask one more question: in the admission letter do they identify the name of the advisor? Or, is it just an acceptance letter informing about the fact that you are accepted, without any advisor' names and a candidate finds out who the supervisor is only when he/she starts studying? Thank you in advance for your reply ???‍♀️

...letters of grief...?????????????

Thank you for your reply and for the words of support ?

Oh WOW that is sooo great! I envy you! ..thank you for the answer! But were you emailed by a prof you mentioned in your essay as potential adviser??? Or by a random prof? Thank you again and OMG you are so lucky!
