waking up to a WashU rejection, after they said in an info session that decisions would be out in late january, was a doozy. also waiting on NYU which atp i also think is a soft rejection (a nasty concept, btw.) sending good vibes to y’all waiting on brown and other schools ❤️

laughing at myself because my “word” for 2024 was “patience,” and my word for 2025 is “intuition,” and here i am, constantly refreshing everything and wondering why decisions are taking so long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i’m still waiting for CNF from nyu, washu, depaul, and uchicago’s MAPH program. it’s crazy how much anxiety i’ve experienced in the waiting processing compared to the draining, seemingly never ending application process. manifesting a week that brings clarity for everyone!!!

my partner is moving with me wherever i get into school (i’m a cnf applicant with 1a(NY,)1w(CHI,)0r,4p(STL, CHI, & NYC,)) and i was really anxious at first about what if he didn’t want to live wherever i wanted to go, but it ended up kinda being a nonstarter lol. we’ve been having ongoing convos, and we both were on the same page about where we wanted to live and where we didn’t want to live (neither of us wanted to live in iowa, and i didn’t want to apply somewhere where i didn’t want to live, so that was an easy choice.) my partner is very excited for any of the three cities i’ve applied to but is most reluctant about STL, so we decided that we’re going to visit the city/cities of the school(s) that offer admission before i submit a deposit (and we’ve budgeted accordingly.) he has ultimately said that he wants me to go where i want which takes some of the pressure off.

thanks!! it looks like i’ll keep being way too attached to my phone… i resonate so deeply with y’all about the waiting!!!! i thought applying was hard, but between waiting for NYU and WashU, i’ve been an anxious wreck. grateful for my support system and for how y’all have been using this space ❤️

hi everyone!! longtime lurker, first time poster congrats to everyone who’s heard back so far!! i can’t access the draft and was wondering if there have been any posts about NYU cnf decisions? cnf seems like such a decision afterthought for a lot of schools…
