It's 1.10 night here...So, I think it's very obvious that the results will be out within few hours and we all finally get our results... Just wanted to say good night...and to admit and to acknowledge that I am very much scared to receive my admission decision. Sleep well! I will run around doing the paperwork I neglected yesterday. I am anxious and scared but this forum community will help me deal with the result in a better manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toyo Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Sociology rejections have been sent out today. I feel amazed when applicants vent against universities when they are not accepted. I understand what they are going through and the need to vent but what amazes me is their confidence. I mean, if I am rejected I will always reflect on what I lack which can get me into a negative state for days. I wonder if I would be happier if I could also say, “Meh! Their loss!” fliss59 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toyo Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 This suspense is worthy of a Hollywood franchise. Next time when they contemplate on alien invasion or creature feature, we need to tell them that the greatest adventure of all times is in the application process.

ngdt Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I had to step away for a moment and missed all the excitement when @iamsoscared96shared results. A huge congratulations to you!! What an amazing accomplishment :). And thank you for not forgetting us and coming back here to answer our questions after you got in. @Toyo, were you able to get any paperwork done? Like @FreeZapata, I don't have an online presence (no social media account), which makes it all the more strange that I feel so invested in everyone's lives on this forum now!

whatisyoursoulspurpose Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I was reading back to previous years and looks like people got portal updates on their decisions as late as 8-10PM EST so it might be another few hours until we find out. My intuition is saying to me if you haven't been contacted by POI yet then it's not looking good. Expecting a rejection at this point.

Their loss!” I'm glad you mentioned this. I think it's important to understand that this application process is very personal and we are all navigating our own insecurities, struggles and hopes during this time. For the record, I am the person who stated that it's Stanford's loss for not accepting me. To feel confident in my abilities and my value-add to their cohort and to also reflect on how I could have done better are not mutually exclusive. It's important that we aren't quick to jump to conclusions about people's attitudes, confidence levels or circumstances because truth be told, you weren't with me when I cried my eyes out during this admissions cycle. You weren't with me on days that I struggled through self-hatred and self-doubt. I'm grateful that I am finally at a point where I recognize, HEY I AM AWESOME! And maybe Stanford can't see that, but someone else will. In any case Toyo, I wish you all the best, and however your admissions cycle turns out, I hope that you will be confident in your awesomeness and in the brilliance you bring to whatever cohort you enter. Because you need to be unshakeable in that. Grad school is hard enough. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
