Anyone else impatient and stressed and constantly refreshing their email inbox? ?

(Not that anything really can be done about this. I understand that these things take time and I appreciate the process nevertheless, I am still antsy.)

Just popping in again to say that I applied to priority deadlines with Columbia on Dec. 1 and didn't receive my acceptance until like March 5th. I was freaked out for many-a-months thinking it meant I was like shadow waitlisted. The reality is, they get to everyone's applications at different rates so be patient. 

UPenn responded the fastest by far, offering me admission the day after my interview. UWashington got back to me in like mid-April after I'd already accepted CU's offer. Every other program took on average 3-5 weeks I'd say. 

I went totally insane waiting, but most schools update around 5pm their time on weekdays, so I paid specific attention at that time and it rarely yielded results. Try to make sure you aren't hyperfocused, you'll find out eventually
