Kathiza Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Yes, I'm on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean
NadaJ Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 (edited) Yes, it's Monday again! Another week of obsessively refreshing the results page, and appropriately-obsessively checking phone/email/mailbox. Edited February 7, 2011 by NadaJ
Old Man & the C(S) Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 At least you are in good company. I wonder what small percentage of the total, us vocal worries are? Somebody should write a paper.
MoJingly Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 So, believe it or not, I'm more of a mess now that I have done all of my interviewing. Now it is COMPLETELY out of my hands, and I know the next email is going to either be "yes" or "no." That's stressful. I've locked myself in my office because I just want to yell at everybody.

I hear you, and I totally feel you. I wish I could hibernate until decisions are made, too!
Bukharan Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 I honestly think I may lose my mind at this point. No news yet from the US schools. Reported GradCafe results from previous years suggest that the letters should start rolling .... last week, and today, and tomorrow. Aaagh!

Right there with you...my first rejection letter is at least a week late right now!

frenchfries Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Where do you find last years results on this website?
eklavya Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 (edited) Where do you find last years results on this website? on the results search section. just type the school or program name and it will show up ETA: to access the results search section, click 'Results' (second to the last link) on top-middle of this page Edited February 7, 2011 by bhikhaari
Lola80 Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 This wait is killing me. I just saw someone post that they received an acceptance via postal mail from the only school/dept to which I applied, so I immediately walked to the mail box only to find that the mail hasn't arrived. I'm honestly going mad. I saw one other acceptance a week or so back so I emailed the admin at the dept about the status of my application only to receive the response that my application was complete. I suppose at least I didn't receieve a rejection but, I'm starting to get to a dark place about getting in. I suppose I should start coming up with a plan B.
psi456 Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Okay- so I just found this website after searching for a few weeks for somewhere to appropriately vent my frustration. So far of the four programs that I've applied to, I've heard one "you're a strong applicant" and two "we've received your applications" and one whole lot of nothing, other than the automated acceptance email. I can't believe how obnoxiously long this has been. It's ABSOLUTELY disgusting. My boss, who I asked for a rec in October (so that I would have it in November, to make sure I made mid-December timelines without issue,) keeps asking me... and my response has been, they've received it. I feel like no one (including myself) believes that I haven't heard yet. Tell these folks to hurry up. To be fair- I've only seen one person say anything about any of my four schools and program. That person got an interview. So we'll see... I'm glad that you all are here to be frustrated with me!
brunch Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 I just realized after browsing the results page that my discipline doesn't tend to send out results until MARCH. I think only two people or so have heard anything from schools in my discipline this year. Ugh. This torture is going to last me another month. I was checking the status of one of my applications today, though, and I see this: Grad School Status Domestic Ready for Decision Department Status: Decision made and sent to Grad school What? Why won't they tell me what decision they made? WHY?
