Unfortunately I haven't heard any good news yet... I applied to 7 schools, got waitlisted at 2 (Purdue and Marquette), got rejected by 4 (in 48 hours), and am still waiting on UNC Greensboro. I'll admit it's been pretty rough, especially with friends getting all sorts of good news and already making their plans. And I've had a lot of regrets about it- I wish I applied to more schools, and I definitely underestimated the level of competitiveness in this process. But the more I've thought about it, the more I think that taking a year off wouldn't be the worst thing- it would be a good chance to get more experience and save up some money! I don't think gradcafe has increased my stress level too much; I've just been checking to see if anyone has heard from UNC-G yet and to see if anyone is in a similar situation. Does anyone have advice about waitlisted schools? I'm thinking about calling or emailing them to let them know that I'm still interested, that I've been doing more volunteer stuff, etc, but I'm nervous about it!

Have you heard anything from UNC-G yet?? I'm also waiting on them... I was thinking about giving them a call sometime soon.
