InHacSpeVivo Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Am I the only one writhing in agony with multiple implicit rejections? Nope... two actual rejections and one implicit (Chicago seems to have sent out acceptance e-mails today and my inbox is empty). Seriously, if I got a WL at this point I'd be thrilled. I'm pathetic.

InHacSpeVivo Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Thanks, thinkagain. I mean, Chicago was expected, but it would be really nice if I had SOME positive news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downtherabbithole Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I'm so in this thread today. My coworkers were all concerned because I was basically mute as I watched several of my schools report. Logically, I've had ONE official rejection. And only a third of my schools are reporting. But it's more fun if you're defeatist, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP3 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Last week, 2 rejects in 4 days, not a SINGLE word since then, the silence is deafening....echo....echo....echo............................................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbttcher Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 The implied NYU rejection kind of bummed me out... Not good if you're supposed to be writing your thesis. cicada123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

practical cat Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 The best news I have "heard" so far is not being rejected from Vanderbilt. Total silence, still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfat Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I honestly don't know who I thought I was fooling with this whole process. Or why I thought I could get through it without feeling suicidally depressed. I don't think I've ever felt so low in my entire life... lisajay and slvitale 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slvitale Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Bfat, you just indirectly quoted my favorite Disney movie ever (this coming from a former Jungle Cruise Skipper!) It's even better because I feel like imitating Lilo right now. OctaviaButlerfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two Espressos Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Am I the only one writhing in agony with multiple implicit rejections? Nope. We're here, writhing in our misery. whelp I guess I'm not going to Buffalo either. this is about to get out of hand Someone I was once very fond of used to say "whelp" all the time, so this made me smile. And frown, of course: neither you nor I are going to Buffalo. I honestly don't know who I thought I was fooling with this whole process. Or why I thought I could get through it without feeling suicidally depressed. I don't think I've ever felt so low in my entire life... I'm with you. I'm not okay right now. lisajay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downtherabbithole Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Oh! But guys! Guess what helps? LOTS OF RUM. After my Vanderbilt rejection, I went out and drank everything BUT rum. Explains why I didn't feel any better. I did, however, find myself standing in front of one of my top choice schools, pleading with the building to accept me. I'll be sure to let you guys know how that works out for me. ProfLorax, t1racyjacks, TripWillis and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t1racyjacks Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I'm now thinking maybe I'm not hearing back from ANYONE because they're all waiting to send me rejections and all the acceptances have been sent out [/losing it] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisajay Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 remain calm, t1racyjacks, i don't think anyone has heard back from those particular programs. keep the faith! Cactus Ed, t1racyjacks and ProfLorax 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazedandbemused Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Oh! But guys! Guess what helps? LOTS OF RUM. Dammit, nobody told me about the rum! But seriously, I feel so stressed that all I want to do is spend my weekend getting massively drunk, which I've never done before. All I can hope is that my drunkenness will be the appropriate gift to lay at the feet of the admissions gods and they will have no choice but to let me in.

It'll be good training for when you get into an amazing program, because while grad school is primarily about the pursuit, analysis, creation (etc.) of knowledge, it's also about getting hammered in your kitchen with your flatmates while attempting to read/write something important. dazedandbemused 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
