SakuraSound Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Its bad enough that Im waiting to hear back to know where I will be this fall... Its even worse considering that its for a school I currently go to with people on grad admissions that I talk to almost daily. Im surrounded by "what ifs" when I go to class, when I go back to the dorm, when I go to research... The worst thing to hear is the "don't worry, you got in" from friends, family, and coworkers... I'm going insane... T_T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
right_here_waiting Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I am glad that someone is feeling the same way as I am right now. I think I am going crazy too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caramel_geek Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I feel the same too. Now I just avoid conversations about grad school applications with my family and friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SakuraSound Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 I want to avoid those conversations... but if my mother doesn't bring it up, then it's my friends, or I have a wandering thought of "This might be my last semester doing research" and I just break down...

yehk Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I never wanted to tell anyone about my applications but i find it so hard to reply when people in my year at college ask me about my postgraduate plans. I tell them I'm applying to grad school then they say, "oh where?" And i always end up telling them. And because it's such a common question between everyone around my department (we're all graduating..), the whole place knows I've applied to XYZ schools, so when I get rejected i might as well walk around with a big FML postit stuck to my forehead.

FoggyAnhinga Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Ugh I kind of regret mentioning what schools i have applied to my friends; now whenever i see them one of the questions they ask is "so have you heard back from any schools yet?" so far I haven't heard any except one (rejection), but this waiting business is tormenting me... and I have to worry about finding a job if I face rejection from everywhere... I'm glad that I have friends and family giving me support but the possibility of not getting in anywhere is simply scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
