lalalacereza Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I sent them an email week before last, and they said I should hear by the end of last week. I stayed up SO LATE on Thursday and Friday night, checking emails every hour and reached for the laptop first thing in the morning. I *know* that the chance of a rejection at this point is teensy tiny (already have nice fat fellowship awarded by a committee incl head of department) but I just want to have it all done and dusted. I'm caught between being really excited about moving and studying again, and freaking out that this might be the moment where everything falls apart. How common is it to have to wait weeks after they've told you you'll get word? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lalalacereza Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 Yeah, the fellowship is not awarded by the university, though. It's outside funding contingent on acceptance. The department and funding body are intertwined, and I know I'm just being paranoid, but I wish they'd send me the email already. I really can't email again 'til two weeks after they said they'd let me know, hey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minnesotan Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I feel your pain, even though I have nothing helpful to add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
