      I'll bet. I'm going from the semester system to the UK term system...

      You might actually have time to think and reflect (and go course shopping)! I'm doing the opposite and I'm so afraid of dying. My UG semesters were already a compressed 12-weeks and that was tough enough...

      Try going from the block system to the semester system! I haven't taken more than one class at a time since high school.

  5. I like how I STILL haven't heard from U. Toronto. It's irrelevant now, anyway. :D

  6. Friend asks me for advice on applying to grad school. My response turned into a single-spaced 9 page guide. Oh dear.

      Hahah!!!! Once I figure out why my FTP isn't working I'll upload it & link to you so you guys can read it! And we can collectively reminisce.

  7. Tons of questions. Zero answers.

  8. Researching UDel. Might as well be renamed "Heaven." ... :D Will the happy crying stop?!

      I am SO happy for you! You deserve this! Enjoy all the happy!

  10. GUYS! OMG. I missed a call from my POI (called about 17 min ago) and he didn't leave a message. Do I assume it's a butt call? Do I call back? My voicemail is extremely obvious and I have no new emails... Ahhh!!!!

      Luckily not from my dream school! They're basically my last school. Ack!

    4. newms

      newms

      Fingers crossed! All you need is one school to say yes

  12. If my dream school has me on some sort of wait list, I hope someone turns down their offer. I hope that doesn't make me a terrible person. :( On the other hand, if they're genuinely still making decisions, then I hope they turn into the Road Runner. ;)

      Think about it this way, if they turn down the offer maybe it is because they got into their dream school!

    3. snes

      snes

      everyone who is waitlisted at their dream school hopes someone turns down their offer. It makes you normal. :P

    4. cokohlik

      cokohlik

      Haha! psychdork, that's awesome. Win-win. I'm glad I'm normal... now if only normalcy was synonymous with patient :P

  13. Well... Essentially, my dream school is the only one left to make me a PhD offer. I'm not kidding. This seems like a very scary position to be in.

      Good luck! I hope you get an answer soon, and that it's a good one!

      That's what happened to me last year but in the end I got the offer. That is what matters. You don't have to decide until April 15th.

  14. PhD acceptance hinges on two programs. Which will it be? :/

      I love your optimism! :D That would be amazing.

    3. crazygirl2012

      crazygirl2012

      do you like them both equally?

    4. cokohlik

      cokohlik

      Yeah. Well one has my dream POI but otherwise yes. Neither of them have gotten back to me about my apps yet :/ agh

  15. Rejection today, rejection yesterday....

    2. cokohlik

      cokohlik

      Haha! How AWESOME would that be!

    3. Canadianlinguist
  16. Emailed my remaining programs. Hoping for good news soon!!

    1. psychdork

      psychdork

      I did the same thing today. Good luck!

    2. cokohlik

      cokohlik

      Thank you! One of three (okay, so I didn't email them all yet ;)) told me I'm on the wait list but they aren't sure they'll be using it this year, and one told me they're still deciding. The last one hasn't gotten back to me. I'm going to email the last couple today. Good luck to you too!

  17. Nothing so far!

  18. Hoping for good news this week!

    1. crazygirl2012

      crazygirl2012

      I'm hoping for good news for you too!

  19. Hoping this week brings me two things: PhD acceptance, and Internet back at my house!

    1. see_bella

      see_bella

      Me and you both...I have internet though. Did you email the programs

    2. crazygirl2012

      crazygirl2012

      Internet withdrawal is terrible! Good luck with both of those things!

  20. I keep bursting into tears at work. I quite literally feel as if I'm an infant. Ugh. Tomorrow's the day I email everyone though. I'm thinking 4pm Eastern so that they have an hour or two to see that I emailed and reply. ... Right? ;)

      It's normal and healthy to cry; you're not an infant, you're an adult who is going through a very difficult process. I hope good news comes soon to dry the tears!

      I know this process is tough, but it's not the toughest thing in the world. :) You got this. Think about people who could never dream of attending grad school. and how you have that opportunity. :) Good luck!

    4. see_bella

      see_bella

      Did you call or email the programs like you said?

  21. oh hello tears.

      What happened? You got a letter?

    3. cokohlik

      cokohlik

      Yeah, this morning. :( Rejection from one of my top 5. I also did some "analysis" or whatever for my remaining programs (here: http://bit.ly/ymKcaU) and I don't think it looks good.

    4. see_bella

      see_bella

      Awww, keep hope alive girlie. Lets wait to hear from the other programs and call them on Friday, like you said. If anything, you can do the MA (for which you're accepted) and work out the financial kinks (I see some good advice from one of the posters).

  22. Dear Wednesday, please don't be another day of silence. Sincerely, Me.

      Not yet. I want to wait until EOD Friday and then I'll email like a madwoman. I just got a rejection from UCSB this morning.

    3. see_bella

      see_bella

      I am giving them till March 15th and then I'm calling. Hopefully by then I wouldve heard.

    4. cokohlik

      cokohlik

      I hope so too!

  23. I wish I could stop being so down on myself. Just because I haven't heard yet doesn't mean anything... Argh!!

      Dear empty mailbox/inbox, you're not helping.

  24. Dear PhD programs: I know you can/will accept me with full funding, this week. You can do it! I believe in you! Just one little email or phone call.... :)

      Do it do it do it!

      cokohlik

      It's already almost 1pm EST and no news yet. Come on, next five or so hours! You can do it!

  25. Alright, week of the 5th. I will get into a fully funded PhD program this week. I will...
