CQE

I'm cool with finding out tomorrow, on my birthday, so long as it's good news. YOU'VE ALREADY MADE ME WAIT, HGSE. DON'T REJECT ME ON MY B-DAY, TOO. That's just...unforgivable.

Yup, I just called about half an hour ago. I got the same 'ol, same 'ol March 25th nonsense. The chick that I spoke to sounded totally dumbfounded. Flabbergasted. All she could muster were the words, "March 25th." She wasn't holding out on us, though. She literally had no idea herself. Whoever I spoke to was just one of those lone hamsters that's not in the loop. Oh well. Hey, PhDreams or any other current HGSEr, can you perhaps ask around for us?

I'm a fan of your sinister mind, Brosef.

Not sure what's worse: Waiting for HGSE or that damn "fishy, fishayyyy" McDonald's commercial. HOLY HELL. CAN IT STOP?!

That made me LOL irl, for whatever reason.

No. They're referring to the text following the last backslash in the URL. EDIT: Mine just switched back to "index" after being "status" throughout the day.

I'd still like to try out the decision URL with my ID #, but I do not know the decision URL. hint, hint, past HGSE applicants....

Yeah, for sure. If they stonewall me and/or give me an attitude for simply asking, I'll ask them to "call me, maybe?" when they have a clue as to when decisions will be sent out. What's the worst that could happen? That they surround my house with black SUVs? Trace my phone number? Find out who I am and subsequently auto-reject me? On second thought...I might want to refrain from making a Carly Rae Jepsen reference, like a smartazz. LOL Nah. But I probably still would.

I'm just going to call tomorrow morning and ask if they know when decisions are scheduled to come out. Worth a shot to see if I can get something out of someone. If the person I speak to in the morning doesn't give me an answer, I'll call in the afternoon and hope that that person will give me something. Obviously, I'll report back to 'quarters and let you all know if I find out anything.

Yeah, me, too. I'd rather believe that if I don't receive anything between 3-6 PM CST, then I'm not finding out on that day. It's a way of keeping my sanity. If I wanted to believe that finding out at any hour throughout the day were a possibility, then I'd be more anxious than I already am. At least I can kinda take a deep breath after 6 PM passes.

Ugh. I'm beginning to think that I'll have to study for yet another test before finding out about HGSE. Greaaaaaaaatttttt...

Haha. I literally just told my fiancee the same thing in a text. She keeps texting to see if I've heard anything.

Hahaha. gifs FTW! That was like a gif pay-per-view, educurious.

YOU DUPED ME, HGSE. TRUST = BROKEN. I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU. ...unless you accept me. A little moolah wouldn't hurt, either, but I'm not gonna prostitute myself or anything. Gotta draw the line somewhere. Anyone have a stick?

Would you please share the decision link? Minus your student ID #, of course. If you want to share, then you could replace your ID # with X's. I want to give it a shot with my ID #. lmao I feel like I'm cracking the Da Vinci Code over here. Wuddup, Tom Hanks?!

Starting to look like that may be the case... However, last year or the year before, they didn't hear back until 6:20 EST (probably around 12:20 AM for you). So, we have roughly another 50-60 minutes before I completely give up on today.

Even though I've been murdering the refresh button all day, I really haven't expected anything until right about meow. However, I definitely expect to hear something within the next two hours given the times that decisions were sent out the past couple of years. We are now in that two hour window, peeps... And dammit! MY HONORS PROGRAM JUST GOT ME AGAIN!!! STOP SPAMMING ME, GUYS.

From downward dog to flying squirrel? hahahaha Sowwy. I really didn't mean'ta conf00z u.

i aint even anxious, bro. u askin all dem questions askin all dem questions makin' statements... assumin'?!

Do we all get the same email notifying us to check our status? Or is the email slightly different dependent upon whether or not you got in (or perhaps the sender of the email is different)? Anyone have a clue?

Good to see people joining me on this gif and meme-a-thon! I just saw that I got an email a moment ago and I got that empty feeling in my stomach. Unfortunately, it was just some more spam from my honors program. I swear these people send out 10 emails a day. ...anyway... C'MON HGSE. COME AT ME, BRO!

Be careful! Don't want you to faint...

Cue JT and the Black Eyed Peas? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

I think Eddie Murphy boosted most people's spirits, but not everyone's. So, try this one on for size: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsdj9NRzqC4 If THAT doesn't make you want to "jazzercise" and chop Life in its throat, then I don't know what will! I've never jazzercised myself, FWIW, but I heard it's a deep burn. Real deep burn.
