I know the feeling! I feel this back and forth tug! Last night I had a dream I didn't get accepted which was terrifying, lol and then I had a dream I did get accepted, whih of course was ruined by waking up and realizing I probably won't hear any news today... I think this is slightly making me OCD on the email checking, lol!

If only admissions could tweet my acceptance ::sigh::: love Twitter!

I also have to add that IQ, GPA, etc is no indicator how well someone will handle burnout. Every single person gets burnout....it's how you cope with the stress that makes the difference. Like I said, I wish you all the best.

Well said! I agree that there is always more to someone than statistics. My GPA in undergrad wasn't great. So by that token you think I shouldn't be accepted. But what you wouldn't know is I worked almost full time hours, went to school full time, volunteered weekly, was involved in multiple clubs on campus, and had medical issues. In my perspective, I think that I was able to overcome a lot and accomplish a lot. It sounds like you have a chip on your shoulder an although I can understand that you accomplished a lot as well, part of being a social worker is having the desire to help vulnerable individuals in society. Your "I'm better than everyone attitude" isn't conducive to that sort of helping profession when you will have many long nights with little thanks. Perhaps you should ask yourself how you can grow and what others have to offer you I terms of life experience and wisdom. Good luck!

Thanks for sharing!

Did everyone who got accepted live in CA?

Is your status changed online?

Eek...now I'm getting anxious :/ seems kinda late to email too!

Congrats to you too!!

Had you emailed her before or did she just let you know out of the blue?!

Congrats!!!!

Lol....I honestly wasn't expecting grad school applications to be so traumatic! My plan is to kick back and relax this weekend!!! I think the what ifs would drive me crazy if I sat and thought about it too long...better to watch a movie or something!

So how's everyone doing?! Anyone have fun weekend plans that don't involve obsessing over admissions decisions?!

Berkeley is my first choice. I'm going if I get accepted!

Thanks for the update! And yes, welcome to te newbie posters!! We need more! Good luck everyone!! I sincerely hope we can all go to UCB together and meet next fall!

Yea, it doesn't help that this is a "slow season" at work either! Actually I'm less anxious now, I've resigned to "the decision won't change and when I find out wont change, so no need to constantly check"..... I'm also in a different spot because I strategically put my applications in on dates where I knew I wouldn't hear back before hearing back from UCB, so I don't have any added stress of other schools wanting me to make a decision. That definitely helps too.

Me too :/. At least we're all in it together.... (I hope that sounds comforting, lol). Here is a valuable link to distract you!! http://youtu.be/4zJWA3Vo6TU You're welcome in advance for that link! Lol!!

Yep...no one has posted from MAP either. I imagine they do it in waves because it's probably a lot of manual data changing on their database system.

I didn't get anything yesterday...what is the concentration you applied for?

Apple Keynote on live update = application status distraction!

Don't know if you all saw but someone wrote some great advice/words of wisdom on the "Application Advice" forum about ensuring you maximize your experiences in an MSW program...worth reading!

Thanks for sharing!

I agree, I am curious because there isn't as much info on UCB as other schools

What type of experience did you have when you applied and what did you write about in your essays?

Yea I noticed that today too!
