Geez, this thread is making me more and more anxious! This is my first year applying. I haven't heard a single thing yet and I applied to five schools, two of which people have already heard back from (acceptances). It seems more and more likely that I may be out of luck this year, at least for those two schools. But after reading people's comments, I'm starting to panic about the others too! Is it time to make a back up plan?
