I just received a waitlist offer from George Washington <2
 

Hey y’all. I don’t know if there are other CUNY applicants up in here, but I called Brooklyn College today to deal with a clerical issue (my application was listed as not complete due to some community college courses I took in high school.) The woman at admissions was very kind but she told me that answers might not go out for another SIX WEEKS. thought this would be useful to anyone chomping at the bit to hear back.

With you on this. It’s my first application round and I *know* to more or less expect rejections across the board, but it’s a hard thing to actually internalize. 
 
My probable rejection from WUSTL is making me nervous for the more popular / ‘prestigious’ programs, but trying to remind myself that 1) yes, it’s all subjective, 2) it only takes one acceptance and 3) life goes on. 
 
All the news on Draft today gave me a minor anxiety attack, but it’s honestly soothing to have a broader community full of people going through the same thing and getting the same rejections. We’re in it together!! 
 
Anyway, trying to distract myself and get excited for the future, whatever that may look like. Best of luck to you and everybody else.

I know there's been a lot of acceptances and waitlists for WashU over on Draft and the "results" page here on GradCafe, and I know there are a lot of you here who applied to it. I'm sending prayers, hugs, love, and encouragement, and don't give up. Wanted to pop this meme in here to remind y'all of something important: 

P.S. St. Louis is a pretty great place. WashU has a beautiful campus (it can be a little hoity-toity, IMHO), but there are TONS of cool little places and neighborhoods to discover. I'm partial to Dogtown, Central West End, Forest Park, Tower Grove, South Grand (that's THE place to go to try new international restaurants), and the Shaw Neighborhood. Sometimes, you have to look a bit, but St. Louis is a really beautiful city and the rent here is bomb compared to other places, haha!

Congrats babe! Also, y'all, have some faith in yourselves. All you need is one school to say yes. You can do it. ❤️
