I can't believe I'm going to be a grad student in the fall, a fully-funded grad student at that!

Of course the one school I'm waiting to hear back from is my first choice!

Come on! Just give me a decision already. Don't schools realize that we need to respond to other offers by April 15??

A school sent me a financial aid award letter (loans only), but still no admissions decision? I'm so confused...

Do adcomms take spring breaks?

Finally! Official offer + an assistantship! I can't stop smiling!

An unofficial acceptance is nice, but I just want the real, official thing! Oh, and that funding offer too...

I'm literally in tears after receiving my second acceptance (with the possibility of full funding). I hope more good news is on the way.

I just had my first nightmare about graduate school. I wish this week would move faster!

Got my first acceptance letter today to UIS! I just hope it's the first of several.

Three schools are reviewing my application next week. I've never been so nervous.

I think I hate my school's registrar. Yet another set of transcripts that were never sent...

March is the month! I should hear back from nearly all my schools within these next four weeks. Now if only it would stop snowing...

I can't believe the school lost my transcripts! but at least the program director was nice enough to tell me my application was in limbo.

It's crazy how one campus visit can completely overhaul your top choices.

Sent in my first application today. Now on to all the Feb. 1 deadlines!

Less than 48 hours until my application is due and still waiting for two recommendations!
