cquin Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Just received my first rejection. WHY, CUNY, WHY??!??! I listened to this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaV6eDvgiG4 and read my rejection e-mail out loud. Helped me laugh at myself a bit. I'm trying so hard to remain lighthearted...

hopefulwoolfian Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I haven't heard from anywhere yet... but I don't want to scream so much as whimper in fear that I won't make it. I know it's early for that, which is why I keep ranting here so that I don't completely drive my friends, parents, and boyfriend insane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fall-11 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 If anyone else needs to unleash some caps-locked anguish, this might be the place. Ow, ow, ow, the Wisconsin rejection really hurts Thought I had a good fit, and really wanted to work with Lynn Keller. I hope it's okay to use this thread to vent our pain & anguish. tinapickles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wild_rose Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Thank you for this. This is my first post, but I've been lurking for a while. I have an awful, morale-destroying job and waiting for graduate schools to get back to me is making everything worse. GAH. There. I feel better. Thank you for listening.

bfat Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 is it too early to start drinking? If it ends in "o'clock," it's a good time to start drinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli- Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 If it ends in "o'clock," it's a good time to start drinking. "Start drinking" implies an earlier "stopped drinking"... FAIL. This is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cquin Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 is it too early to start drinking? NOPE! Definitely not. At least I don't get rejection letters from Jack Daniel's. weatherwax 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YES, ASSHOLE, I TURNED THE OVEN ON ESPECIALLY FOR YOU. but the cooking was to distract me from my emails... which is all related. ARGH! shared living SUCKS.

newms Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 This thread is definitely cathartic. I feel a lot better after reading some of these suggestions. I think I might get more acquainted with Messrs Daniels, Adams and Cuervo - I hear they're good company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fall-11 Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Damn, it's the weekend again -- now we (those who don't have an acceptance yet) have to wait out a whole Saturday, then a whole Sunday, before starting the vigil again on Monday morning.

Tybalt Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Bahaha, I cannot tell you how disappointed I am when I check my email and then realize--curses!--it's Saturday. That's what I thought last weekend, when I got two of my officially unofficial rejections (ie- they sent out acceptances, and I did not get one). I now fear the weekends as much as the week. I'm officially at that point that I almost just want to get the official rejections in hand and start on apps for next year. I still have some hope for some of the schools on my list (Florida and Rochester were particularly good fits), but I just keep seeing things about my app that I would have done differently--starting with the "too narrative" tone of my SoP. againstourfaces 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know how you feel, Tybalt. I'm in the same boat and just really want it all to be over so I can assess where I stand. Waiting is hard because you always hold out hope...:'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
