So... after five rejections and only the big H, S & Y left, I guess it's about time to call it a day, right?
What are people who aren't trying to get into Grad school doing with their time anyway?
I emailed UCLA and asked for advice on how to strengthen my application for the future. I got a very kind response within 48 hours that the Graduate Vice Chair, Felicity Nussbaum would be happy to do a complete "application review" with me after April 15th, and asked to please resend my email asking for one at that time.
I remember seeing on one of the other threads that Columbia will be notifying their decisions on or after Feb. 20th. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong..
Amen to that. Fulfilling in a way that nothing else quite is, too. Also , even if I don't get it anywhere (starting to look around for serious Plan Bs already) I know I would have always regretted it if I had never tried.
So here's for trying to make our far-fetched dreams a reality!
Keep your chin up. If you haven't heard anything than that proverbial fat lady has not yet sung. I too have not heard anything from any of the 11 programs I applied for, and have actually now limited myself to checking these boards only once every 24 hours to keep form falling into anxious misery. Something good will happen yet -- I know it!
