I will think good thoughts for you and good luck!!

Alright, guys, here's some info: I buckled and wrote to ALL of my POIs to inquire about my application status. I hadn't been contacted for any interviews, so I just wanted to be given the unofficial rejections. Purdue - Rejected - POI said to retake the GRE, and continue with my valuable research experience (my score was 1010, and my GPA is 3.86) UC Santa Cruz - Rejected - POI said he wasn't granted a new student for the Fall after all (even though he supposedly was when I wrote to him a few months ago) U of Washington - Rejected - POI said 150+ applicants, unusually strong pool this year, likely due to recession. "We unfortunately could not bring you in for an interview." I believe I've been more than likely rejected by UCLA, UCSB and UNC Chapel Hill since they've already held interviews or sent out invites to recruitment weekends. That leaves me with four other possibilities (not including the Master's programs). Hope this helps! Good luck guys and gals!

That honestly was my thought process afterward too. Well, after shaking off the awkward heebie-jeebies.

I'll PM you; don't feel comfortable posting it publicly.

Hey, congratulations on your acceptance so far!!!!!!

Regarding the rejection issue, the ones who received the rejection from the same program had interviews with them. I have not even received an interview, so I'm like "Come on already, just send me the rejection letter and be done with it!"

No news is no news!! LOL!

Anyone else having this experience? You have a group of peers in your major who have also applied, so you're sharing the anxiety/celebration/consolations with each other . . . However, I am now officially the ONLY person out of my cohort who has not heard a single thing from any of the 11 programs I've applied to (I know it's early). Everyone else has received either interviews, acceptances, or rejections at the very least EXCEPT ME!!! Some of which were the same schools/programs in which I applied. Please just fast forward me to April 15th so I can at least concentrate on my final undergraduate semester!!!
