SO happy and relieved to *Finally* be able to post in this thread! Got my first acceptance today! I had just eaten my lunch and was in the middle of drinking a root beer float, lol, when I randomly checked my e-mail on my Blackberry. I knew it was good news when it said "Welcome" to the University in the subject line, but wanted to read the whole thing, all the way through, to be sure.
It's just such a happy relief, both because I really wanted to get into this program and because this has been such a process for me. I know it is for everyone, but I was, quite frankly, very spoiled in my admissions process during undergrad because I had done my first two years at a Community College, so I didn't have to take the SAT, etc. I don't even remember there being that much or long of a waiting period. This time, it took me nearly 5 months in total..and this is only the second school I have heard from! (The first was a rejection--which felt like a slap in the face, though I like this program I got into much better anyway).
I am still waiting to hear back from one other school in particular (luckily the admissions papers are still coming in the mail, which buys me a little more time at least, lol), but am feeling pretty psyched!
Congrats to all! And to those still waiting--keep the faith!
