apieceofroastbeef Posted February 17, 2011 Author Posted February 17, 2011 It is almost 4PM and I've got NOTHING. Again. This better mean that I'm at least on some sort of wait list.
tortola23 Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 I'm still 0 notifications out of 12 schools. MADDENING.
tortola23 Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Still nothing! I'm not sure whether to feel relieved or totally freaked out at the prospect of this whole week passing by with no news.
hopefulwoolfian Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Right now I'm feeling so lucky that I have this new internship (unpaid, but what can you do? ) and some job interviews tomorrow to take my mind of waiting. It's so much worse when I don't have anything concrete to do except apply for jobs and work on the reading list I'm setting for myself. I've officially heard from 2 of 15, but the acceptance is Temple, so I'm not allowed to be really happy until I know the funding situation In the meantime, I wait...
apieceofroastbeef Posted February 18, 2011 Author Posted February 18, 2011 I broke down and emailed UMass tonight, because I'm sick of waiting and, seeing as all the interviews for funding have already happened, they are not going to accept me anyways. I just want to know and I think I deserve to be officially notified for the $$ I spent to apply there. I've gotten past trying not to annoy my programs-- or at least this one.
fall-11 Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Another day gone with no news. I literally feel like I'm keeping a vigil. It's like time isn't moving forward. I just hope I get some good news from somewhere, anywhere, this week. It's just killing me
TC3 Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Another day gone with no news. I literally feel like I'm keeping a vigil. It's like time isn't moving forward. I just hope I get some good news from somewhere, anywhere, this week. It's just killing me Ugh, fall, that's awful. Have you applied to places that have begun notifying?
tortola23 Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Well, one rejection under my belt now . . . and obviously I feel no better. Maybe I DON'T want to know all of these results. Uuuuuugh.
fall-11 Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Ugh, fall, that's awful. Have you applied to places that have begun notifying? Well, Ohio State has notified most people over the past 2 weeks, and they said they'll notify the remaining folks within this week. U of Georgia sent out a couple of acceptances some time ago, but I've heard nothing so far. And Boston University did a bunch of notifications on Friday (both accepts and rejects), but I haven't heard anything.
wild_rose Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Same here. I feel like I have never wanted something so badly in my life. Another day gone with no news. I literally feel like I'm keeping a vigil. It's like time isn't moving forward. I just hope I get some good news from somewhere, anywhere, this week. It's just killing me
gradgirlwannabe Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Well, one rejection under my belt now . . . and obviously I feel no better. Maybe I DON'T want to know all of these results. Uuuuuugh. Agreed. This is destroying my soul.... and my GPA (cannot focus on homework).
fall-11 Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Well, one rejection under my belt now . . . I have three. My advisor tells me one is all I need, and honestly ONE is all I'm asking/hoping for.
tortola23 Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Same here. I'll move away from my SO and everything, which is saying a lot. A LOT. This is rough times.
bottles Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Same here. I'll move away from my SO and everything, which is saying a lot. A LOT. This is rough times. Tortola, you have only heard back from 1 place and applied to 11?? I am so sorry!
tortola23 Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Tortola, you have only heard back from 1 place and applied to 11?? I am so sorry! Yeah Luckily hardly any of them have even started notifying, so I'm still in the running for 8 or 9 schools. I hope . . . This whole process is so disheartening!
