face facts

I've lost 10 lbs in the last month from the anxiety of waiting. The deadline for my top program was Feb 1, but I submitted everything back in mid December, thinking (foolishly) that would somehow speed things up. I can't compare to previous years because nobody has ever posted anything. I also cannot consult the FAQ page because the department doesn't have one. The poor ladies at Graduate Admissions, and the Dept. Secretary know nothing about when admissions decisions are typically made, and no statistics are listed about how many applicants usually apply/admitted/GRE means/GPA means/ etc. I'm attempting to not drive myself bonkers over this, but not knowing is excruciating!

the lady from the department that sent the email (the office of scholarships and admissions) called me back today to apologize, saying that there must'vte been a computer glitch, for any grad school applicants to recieve an email that was aparently intended for undergrads. poo

no joke! Yeah, I'm too scared to call the department...

I broke down and called the number at the bottom of the email, the Department of Scholarships and Admissions. At first the lady I spoke with seemed to indicate this MUST mean I've been accepted, but then she backpedaled when I asked if she was sure, had proof in front of her, etc. She transferred me to the Office of the Graduate School, who were very perplexed about the email having been sent out, and reported that their phones had been ringing off the hook all morning with similar inquiries. Ugh. I'm attempting to not be frustrated, but I'm failing at it...
