When I opened it, the acceptance letter was addressed to someone else. But in the dream, I thought to myself, “How could they have messed up my name that badly?!” ? I think that is the mental space where most of us are these days lol HolyGinger, Maguire, nivy25 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrownSugar Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I want to wish everyone luck as a new week starts soon! I myself have gotten a bit despondent recently regarding decisions, but I’m hoping this week will brighten things up, and I do count myself fortunate to even have an offer in this cycle. gradpumpkin, plus, AHD and 16 others 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knowledgeforcutting Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Hi all, I have been reading down these threads for so long and joining in with all the anxiety brewing with everyone's results. I was reading along for so long so I finally decided to add in. I'm doing theory and applied to 6 schools this cycle. I don't know why it feels better to know that strangers all over the world are stressing about the same thing as me. Hopeful for the taste of a victory beer. djuric, xbsn, BrownSugar and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling with multiple solo-authored pubs, you will be more than fine! There are still a lot more schools to come.

nivy25 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 As Sunday is almost over, and tomorrow marks the day of another crucial week of decisions, I wanted to wish everyone good luck. I’m personally hoping that I get to hear from at least some of the schools, and I hope you all do too. Hopefully, some (or all) of the news is positive for everyone. So let’s pray/hope/channel positive energy into this coming week! ? Maguire, StarkDark1, lemonbee and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heterogeneous_Effects Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I just got acceptance email from Berkeley at 12:50am PST.

I think at least some of the UCs started releasing results just after midnight, judging from this and the UCSD timing... I think when the sun rises in the East and surely the West coast, this thread will explode due to the Berkley results.

skullkid Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Someone should do a reboot of the Hunger Games. Only this time is about prospective grad students, doing terrible and incredible things to get accepted. Getting funding is the equivalent to pick a weapon of the cournucopia.
