Jae B. Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 1000 visits = 25k; wow, why bother going to school. This could be a full time job No kidding! I'm still checking, even though I know my result. You know, in case they sneakily add something. It never changes, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joro Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 Such restraint! I check maybe once a day excluding weekends. And for someone who asked a while back, the school is UC Irvine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martizzle Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 i used to check all the time, now i just sit back and wait for them....i feel that at this point if the schools aren't polite enough to me (keeping me updated), why should i worry & fret over who gets in/who doesn't. my worrying doesn't change anything. it sucks though...putting all that time, effort and everything into something and it doesn't really pan out the way you want (crying in some dark corner with Matt Damon on my left, Eddie Murphy in front facing me, and Osama Bin Laden on my right -- Matt & Osama are hugging me mad tight and wiping my tears lol...pls keep in mind that i'm a guy...with a gf lmao grad school apps really made me nuts this year) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joro Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 Now that I know that my first choice is finalizing applicants and will be sending out decisions at the end of next week, I stopped checking the application status page for every school I applied to. I think knowing that has calmed me down a bit and I can concentrate on the more finer things in life such as trying to cram as much information into my head before grad school starts.

ootg Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 joro, I think most of us would be calmer with checking the status of applications if we knew the actual progress of applications in the system. Perhaps the schools should indicate this, but I doubt they are bothered enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ootg Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I would even be happy if they told us their track record on offers. eg. We tend to send out offers by the end of March At least it would give us an indication, and we needn't fret in February! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wang chuk Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 They keep track & check stats on how often we applicants check our application status? How pitiful (of them). They should get a life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
