How often do YOU compulsively check GradCafe for admissions results?

It's gonna be okay, guys. They have to release decisions eventually.

i thought about it.. ?

Part of me hates thinking about how many times I subconsciously, trigger-finger check and I just realized it's probably way more than 3-5 times.

On the other hand, very comforting to know literally everyone else is doing the same thing and I'm not crazy

also me, after a notification to check the portal comes in:

if i don't open it i can't get rejected... ?

good luck this week, everyone! remember to breathe

Just remember: no matter how it goes, you have an excuse to get drunk this weekend.

This gal/guy/being has the right idea. Stirring up some Manhattans this weekend; pour some out for each other and fingers crossed for everyone!

What all programs have you folks applied to?

I'm just going to put this out there in case anyone else feels similarly: being in limbo at this point is making me even more anxious. I already have several responses from some of my top choices, but I still just want to know so I can move on with the next step of my professional and academic career and spend the next few months figuring out how to move in the middle of a pandemic!

Definitely remaining grateful for the opportunity to even pursue higher education, but on top of the pandemic and the state of vaccine distribution in the US... everything feels so unknown. Just hoping for plans to solidify a lot more so I can stop existing in this state of waxing and waning anxiety.  I know we've all worked our asses off for this month and the decision(s) we'll all have to make by April 15th, but I wish these next three weeks or so weren't so painful ?
