Giant Bees

Yep, I tried to send a super polite email essentially saying wow I was really surprised and disappointed, could you please tell me what I can do to improve then? ... yeah really had to mellow out the whole indignant rage thing.

Checked the GSU website got a "decision made" and the decision was "not approved" SAIC = the cryptic abyss Tulane = nada Shouldn't have been looking at work, now that I found that out I am really upset. The head of the painting department there wrote me a freaking rec and said that it would be a piece of cake. Now I am just angry and heartbroken, what happened? Now I am sitting at the front desk at my job insanely depressed and on the verge of tears like a big baby. If the sure thing didn't let me in, I am sure not getting in anywhere else. :x

Well I have been working my butt off to save money for a move if I were to get accepted anywhere, so if I don't, I am taking that money and going to Europe to drown my sorrows in cheap wine and awesome.

Haha I just let out the loudest squeak at work just based on your conjecture. Clearly I am not handling this whole waiting thing with any sort of composure. I am going to pretend that what you are saying is completely true.

I just wanted to chime in on saying I too received the cryptic SAIC letter. I figured since on the site it says that they notify you about interviews mid-feb that the letter was a sure-fire thing that they had looked at my stuff and been like.... yeah we'll send you a notification in a couple of weeks (i.e. in line with when the rejections go out). Still freaking out, but at least I know I am not the only one now.
