Thank you skeedy! This is exactly what I need to hear

I'm waiting to hear back from Yale, too. It's my dream school. I'm getting really nervous...

This is brilliant!!

"One day my acceptance letter will comeeee. One day my acceptance letter will comeeeeee and it will carryyyy me awayyy, to a state far away!!" Just sayin'.

Agg, I know!! The torment is too much You're lucky with some acceptances. I haven't had one yet, and I desperately want one... Desperately. =/ I'm a little scared.

Space-cat... You're my new best friend That was so comforting! Like a written version of Ben & Jerry's chocolate ice cream with brownies. Thank you!!

Hee hee! If it's an acceptance, they can call or email me any time of the day or night!!!

What is the cure?? I'll tell you - the cure is knowing. But I can't know if I don't check my email, and of course, if schools don't send anything out yet... which they haven't. At 2:12 EST. Come on, day's almost over for the East Coast!

Ahh! I was just thinking that same thing It's almost 10:30 in my school's time zone. Hoping for my first acceptance this week.... The first thing I did was check my email when I woke up, which was easy since I sleep next to my phone and it links to my email account. Dangerous, but useful! Here's to good news for us this week! (wish they had a crossed-fingers emoticon.)

Also, for what it's worth, I really hope that you get in to your dream school.

Even though this may sound morbid because of the subject matter - I LOVE your descriptions! So vivid! So gut-wrenching!

This has been my dream for almost a decade and it's everything I've worked for. I hope those 2 remainig schools will see that.

Trust me, I feel EXACTLY the same way. I have 2 schools left to hear from, and if I don get in to either of them- Im terrified. I don't want to have to lower my standards and attend a lesser program that isn't a perfect fit, when I'm applying to perfect fits right now! We'll be ok... It has to work out, sometime. Here's to hope!

A friend doing his PhD in the sciences told me that admit letters are sent weeks before reject letters in his field. Anyone know if this is true for the Humanities? (I am of course hoping it isn't true...)

LOL!!! Hubby. I so needed that laugh.

I went into my room, staggered to the floor and sat cross-legged in the pitch dark and cried like a baby, and swore in my head like a sailor. I feel slightly better now, but not really... I have yet to be accepted anywhere.

Congratulations!!!

So much for silence. Came home. Parents handed me a letter from Michigan. I KNEW. I knew right away it was a rejection based on the timeline on this website. And it WAS. I'm so confused. I had an interview with my prospective advisor. We hit it of great. We're still in communication. I don't understand. Officially, I have 3 schools left for acceptances. Unofficially, I only have 2 left- a prof from Columbia said I'm not on their shortlist. 2 schools. There is still hope. Right? :/

I hope it's a tsunami of loveeee so we can have a virtual party!

Ooh! It's raining here in SoCal (and by raining I mean drizzling). It's invigorating to go for a stroll in the drizzle. Thanks for the idea!

Ohhhh Everything makes so much more sense now!! Thank you!

I just can't figure it out.

I haven't received a single grad-school-related email today. It's strangely lonely. Come on grad schools, I want to get accepted somewhere

This made me laugh out loud. That's so sad...
