The results from last year seem to suggest that we won't hear anything until early March. It's only a few weeks away and yet it seems like forever!

And my focus is womens/world cinema. Good to know we're not cockblocking each other. Hope to see you there!

I think you'll be fine. Just try to relax. If Kathy Williams says that your file is complete, then your file is probably complete. As for when they'll send out acceptances, I think the three week estimate in your email is pretty accurate. I applied last year and didn't find out until the last week of March that I was wait-listed. I'm pretty sure they told me when I called that they had just finished reviewing applications the week before. I just have to say that your results post about receiving an update email really freaked me out! I knew I hadn't gotten an email, lol. Oh, and my track is Film Studies. I'm glad to see that there aren't very many Film Studies people on this thread. I got the impression last year that an overabundance of film applicants thwarted my chances. Good luck to everyone!

I'm waiting for a dress I just ordered to arrive from Urban Outfitters. They just sent me a confirmation of shipping email. At least they care about punctuality!

Perhaps not for rejection, but for the waiting period in general: "I am Waiting" by the Rolling Stones.

It's Valentines Day and I long not for candy hearts or roses but for letters of acceptance. The mail should come pretty soon and waiting for it got me wondering: if I see a letter from a school and I haven't previously heard anything online from them, should I brace myself for bad news? It seems like most acceptances come through email or a phone calls these days. Do schools ever send out acceptance letters through snail mail without first giving you a heads up? For those of you who have already been accepted, how did you find out?

I know, right? It's like the only time in the history of the world where I've got a case of the Saturdays.

I too wish that there was a "fast foward" option. And yet, I keep telling myself I should relax and enjoy the fact there is still hope at this moment.
