  1. Before I sign off permanently from Gradcafe (it has done a number on my mental health). Then again, grad school has also done a number. Decision day is almost 10 days away. Anyone want to share where they have committed to?! Or what they're deciding between?! Is anyone still waiting to hear back?! I have committed to Indiana for the literature track. The department is great and the funding was great too. I am from NYC, born and raised. I lived my whole life here (elementary, middle school, highschool, undergrad and grad). The midwest is the first time I would be leaving my nest so I am a little scared but excited at the same time!!! This was a nice support group. I definitely needed it. Regardless of your situation, good luck to everyone going forward. May your year be filled with many blessings❤️
  2. Not something I’ve seen on the results but definitely how I feel after being rejected yesterday by the institution where I’m getting my MA!
  3. Congratulations!!! THAT IS GREAT NEWS. Here’s to extra hope the funding package will come sometime this week. You’ve worked hard for this. Make sure to go celebrate!! Felicitaciones ?
  4. Anyone have any updates? Anyone have strategies they use to prevent themselves from obsessing over checking grad cafe and the email?? I am considering putting on a rubber band and snapping it when I want to check both. My fear is that knowing myself, I'll snap the rubber band more than 10 times in one day. I hope the process is going well for everyone. Congrats to those accepted. To those waiting, may we hear good news soon.
  5. In between losing and gaining hope? My top school has waitlisted me. I am trying to remain positive as it’s still early and I am hoping that maybe someone will reject their offer but we all know how waiting list works ? I am trying to remain positive because what is for me, will be for me. And everything will work out in the end whether or not it’s the plan I originally envisioned. Thank you for asking
  6. This made my day. Thank you for keeping this thread alive. It’s been giving me life as I play the waiting game. This will now be my new hobby as a means to keep myself upbeat. I WILL BE BACK SOON AS I TRACK SOME DOWN!!
  7. Jaja. Yo ando por mi tercer botella de vino. Hoy mismo compraré otra?
  8. I am thinking of doing the same thing. I interviewed a month ago and haven’t heard anything. So I just may email their DGS but I don’t want to bother them either. I might give in to the anxiety though
  9. I applied to the PhD program of my MA and every time I get a email with their header I get excited. Then I see “Virtual events this week” and I want to throw my phone across the room
  10. I thought refreshing my email would make the decisions come faster ?
  11. Same ? The anxiety is eating me alive ?
  12. OYE NO DIGAS ESO. Its okay if you dont have the faith, but I have enough faith for you that this will be a different cycle for you. I am speaking positively for you and putting out buenas vibras por ti. You WILL NOT be shut out this cycle.
  13. Maybe we should annoy them with our questions!! The worse they can say is no or waitlist us. Regardless, at least we would get an answer!!
  14. I wouldn't!! Maybe you are on an informal waiting list!! I would definitely reach out. I am considering reaching out to my programs next week if I dont hear back. I too am very conflicted ? Speaking of assumptions. I interviewed a month ago (as of next week) for a program and I saw one offer uploaded the week I interviewed. Should I email the department? Or should I assume lo peor?
  15. Estoy muy de acuerdo con esta idea. De hecho, me gusta mucho. Si esta semana aun no me llega noticias (ojalá buenas) también voy a enviar emails a los programas. Para los demás, dependiendo de las fechas limites de sus programas, quizás también deberían de enviarle un correo porque quizás le ayuden con la ansiedad y también el correo puede funcionar como un recordatorio a estos programas! Ya no puedo mas con la ansiedad ni tampoco me aguanta grad cafe. Lo uso tanto que a veces dice "Safari couldn't load server"
  16. Jajaja. Estoy de acuerdo. Parecen que están cazando mariposas mientras yo aquí estoy ahogándome y mordiéndome de nervios ?
  17. Thank you for offering your guidance. The program seemed great! Not high on my list due to location.
  18. I am not too sure if they notify their waiting lists. Some of the results on the admission page makes it seem like their programs notified them. I haven’t heard a peep on my end though I am considering reaching out to some of the programs by the end of this week to find out the status of my application and or if I am on a waiting list of some sort. I am thinking of drafting up an email to “check in” and sending it out towards the end of the week if I don’t hear anything. I am hoping drafting it will alleviate some anxiety
  19. Another day of anxiety as we begin the week of refreshing our emails every minute of the day (or at least I do). Remember to take care of yourself. Maybe limit the checking for your own mental health (I know easier said than done). I am hoping that we all hear good news this week. And to answer my own question: I applied for the literature track to Tulane, Stony Brook, Indiana, and U Kentucky. I have yet to hear back. I am trying to remain positive!! This cycle is such a toss up. It seems to be portals aren’t updating and they’re taking longer than usual to message people. My theory is that schools have bigger waitlists this year and they’re hoping people commit sooner so they can move their waiting list.
  20. I feel better knowing I am not the only one in the pits of anxious despair ? What schools did everyone end up applying to? literature or linguistics?
  21. How has everyone been coping? The radio silence and suspense has been killing me ? I starting to see results uploaded. I am hoping that means I’ll hear back from my schools soon. Buena suerte a todos
  22. O sea quiero decir, el programa de Indiana no es su “top choice.” Ella prefiere otro. Entonces en cuanto ella decida, quizás se abra un espacio en el programa de indiana
  23. @Angela MerkelMUCHO ÁNIMO!! Tengo una amiga a quien la aceptaron a indiana (ella tampoco lo ha subido). Sin embargo, ella está esperando la respuesta de otro programa. Entonces aunque no hayas recibido un acceptance, quizás estés en un waiting list!! Desde que las personas rechacen, entonces quizás te envían un acceptance a ti también. O quizás, te enviaran un acceptance casi ya!!
  24. You are right!! I guess I am just an anxious wreck because someone interviewed already and also got an offer the same week as the interview. Whereas I interviews the same week as that person (based of the results page) and haven’t heard back yet. But you’re right. I need to practice patience (a virtue I heavily lack) ?
  25. Hola todos!! I have been following this thread for a while and have decided to lean into and created an account! I am extremely anxious. I cannot handle the waiting. I keep refreshing the results and my email. I saw someone posted Tulane. Has anyone else gotten an offer? I interviewed a week ago but have yet to hear back. I am hoping it isn’t bad news and perhaps I am on a waiting list or something ? Buena suerte a todos
