Applications done yet?

[Happy to be here]

So as of today, December 13, I've got 5 out of 8 applications finished. How is everyone else? Also defended my thesis prospectus this past week, so life has been crazy. Just three more to go and then the e-hand-holding can begin among us all.

You have to defend your prospectus? In my dept/school, thesis and prospectus are two different entities.. and only thesis is defended at the end of the MS program. I discussed my prospectus with the committee Dec 1st week and turned it in last week.

All my apps were done by the end of November. Nothing but a long long long wait to endure!

I finished the last of my 8 applications the day after Thanksgiving - so like the poster above me - my waiting has begun as well. Still tracking LORs, transcripts, and such - so technically only 5 out of my 8 are complete, but everything is in on my part. The waiting is already killing me though! Good luck to you, and everyone else who is finishing apps and such!

Yeah, I don't really get it. I was grilled for almost an hour and a half and for the thesis prospectus I only had my intro, lit. review, hypotheses and methods. It's kind of nice in the way that I only have discussion, results, conclusion to add on for the thesis defense itself, but it sucked royally.

For some reason I did all my transcripts and scores back in August/September, and I'm now doing the other application materials, document uploads, etc.

But anyways, I'm done now. I applied to 8 total, and all the materials are in minus two or three letters. I'm going into the Christmas break with the mindset of "just-forget-about-the-whole-thing." In my mind I'm thinking, okay, I won't start the worrying/constant-status-checking until late January.

Hope that everyone gets into at least one good school, after all, one is all it takes.

Im done too, as of yesterday. Jesus.....Stress is beginning to hit! I keep obsessing over possible errors in my apps.....

I had to defend my thesis proposal as well.....Got grilled but passed with flying colors.

All six applications done! I did them in October since I had to turn in an honors thesis in early December. It worked out pretty well because by that point I was hyperventilating about my thesis enough to take my mind off grad school. Until a week ago, that is--I graduated and now I have the time to agonize properly. I won't even have work to distract me for another couple of weeks yet. Ah, well. I've been reading a lot of novels. For those of you still working on applications, good luck! For everyone like me who is having a slow nervous breakdown, hang in there.
