I am trying to stay optimistic and hope for the best, but the more you wait the more it seems like you are in the limbo positions at these schools...do you know what I mean? I fell like by not hearing anything I am not their first round daft choice, but at the same time by checking the admissions forum (the rejection forum), it seems as though I have missed the initial rejection letters/emails. It feels like their stance is, "we are interested in offering him if, so and so turns us down" I guess that's what I mean by in limbo. At this point i will be happy to just be accepted anywhere, and after that then letters (rejections, wait list, or whatever) come rolling in...I don't care I just need to know something. As far as emailing the program graduate directors, I am a little unsure. I don't want to be that pesky person asking hey could you tell me if I have been accepted or rejected, because if I am truly in that limbo position that I believe I am in, then I feel like creating that feeling will hurt my chances of being accepted. What are some other peoples experience emailing graduate directors about admission status? But at this point I may just be over thinking everything. Thanks for the responses...it is a little settling to know others struggles as well

I am extremely nervous...I haven't heard anything from any of the programs that I've applied to (7). Is it too much to ask for word on one of them-yay, nay, or waitlist??? I know for a fact that one of the programs that I applied to has accepted one of my friends and they're flying him out for a visit on their dime, and yet I hear nothing. I am happy for him, and everyone that has been accepted, but I just want to know something so I can move on. I can't check my mail enough...do you think it is a bad sign that I haven't heard anything from anybody other than all of your application materials have been received?
