I'm experiencing my own despair. So far I've gotten one rejection and seen 4 schools send out acceptances, and still I hear nothing. I'm starting to worry that this won't happen for me, despite all the positive feedback I've gotten from professors and such. I hope the fact that I haven't heard anything from the schools accepting away (WUSTL, Brown, UVA, UChicago) means that I'm still in the running somehow.
I guess I'm also hoping that the Bitching Fairy will take pity on me if this goes out into the world.
