I had a bit of a melt-down last night after being paralyzed and unable to work on my masters thesis for several weeks. The waiting has been killing me. But we need to all take a moment, take some deep breaths and remind ourselves of a few things (I'm saying this for my own good as much as anyone else's). 1. Worrying about it is not going to change the outcome. It will either happen or it won't. 2. We are all obviously bright people and are already ahead of much of the world's population in terms of education. We wouldn't be applying for grad school if we weren't worthwhile. So if we get rejected, we will find something else. We don't NEED this, we just want it really badly. Good luck everyone!

Wow, it's true, misery does love company. Somehow I feel better knowing I'm not alone. I applied to three programs at the same school, for the same reason. I've got one rejection and haven't heard from the other two. I realized today though that I should expect a rejection for another program soon since their website said they do interviews in February and I was not contacted for one. *sigh*

If you are going to go to SFU, it will definitely help to live near a Millenium line skytrain station. You should be able to find a basement suite to share for a reasonable price. The skytrain is really key though, it will make everything feel much closer.

What are you going to do immediately after you read that rejection letter?

I will cry over a bottle of wine. Then I will start planning my move to a small town with my bf where I will give up on my dreams of a career in academia, open a coffee/ice-cream shop and probably get knocked up. Oh, and maybe I'll finally be able to focus on and finish my masters thesis. -
I just keep checking the results page and try to find solace that no one has heard back from the programs I applied to. I'm so worried though. I have yet to find ANYONE else in this entire forum that has only applied to one school. I guess I just don't want to settle for a plan B. What's wrong with me!?!?!? AHHHH!!!!
