I stopped reading after it said doing research was unproductive by nature, and that even worse, you have to *gasp* write about it in a thesis. Is this person serious?

+1 For Kind of Blue, and for TKOL, but especially for Kind of Blue.

Unless there's a substitute member or they can make decisions without her/him. Please proceed with obsession.

Exactly. I've convinced myself fairly effectively about a few schools, but this idea of everything being up in the air doesn't seem like it's going to be enjoyable for much longer. I can say for certain that it is much more enjoyable than the feeling of all rejections, though.

Yeah, from last year, my feeling is that the best response to hearing about your rejection is for someone to say they're sorry, offer you a drink, and possibly talk about how much they hate said school. Wasn't there a printable brochure someone made about responding to grad applicants posted in the fora somewhere?

Of course, none of this should be taken as complaining. I'd definitely rather have had the interviews than to be totally in the dark.

You should make that your new handle on the forums.

Hope you hear back sooner than me. I interviewed for one school on the 4th and am still waiting. There is an issue with one of my LOR arriving very late, though, so that may be holding it up.

Exactly. It's always that I suddenly might not graduate. You would think that after that much effort, my brain would accept that I have a degree and let me also have peace, lol.

This year, I have vowed not to re-read any sent materials. It's not at all worth the stress.

That's the big thing I get from a lot of friends and acquaintances. I'm fully aware that I have the capability, and in some cases even the education/training to do things in a field other than my own. If I wanted to do those things, why on Earth wouldn't I apply to a program in that other field? Surely these people know that this is a decision I made, and not some ride that I'm trapped on, yes?

Should I get an acceptance tomorrow, I will be the most relaxed human on the face of the planet.

I couldn't see more than a thank you not coming off as inappropriate. But that's just my possibly outdated ethical compass. Also, since I applied to the department of one of my recommenders, it would be a little awkward.

Yeah, I'm sure it's the furthest thing from your mind, right?

I hate that dream so much.

One of my invites came late at night. Anything is possible.
