Timshel Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 I am really feeling this thread today. I'm already feeling hopeless and it's not even February.
Sparky Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 I am really feeling this thread today. I'm already feeling hopeless and it's not even February. If it helps*, I posted during my app year at, like, 1 AM one morning. Nine hours later I came home from a class to a voicemail inviting me to an interview for what is now my program. There is, in other words, a certain power in expressions of hopeless on TGC, I believe. * I believe the link will make clear what I mean with the ambiguous "it." Origin=Goal and Two Espressos 2
rawera Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Good game, shall we all start playing come February?
Origin=Goal Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 I'm in! Whoever suggested Jameson shots should pm me

Alcohol poisoning will be a welcome distraction from the waiting.
pel Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Hey guys waiting is not that bad... It's probably better than finding out that you've been rejected.. Starlajane 1
wintergirl Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) Living in this thread today this week. Hello, friends. Edited January 24, 2012 by bespeckled
Grunty DaGnome Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 I've probably gone a complete 180 and now I'm FEARING that I get accepted. I think I need a year off Two Espressos and MrBrooklyn 2
rawera Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 Tomorrow marks the beginning of potential rejection season for me.
Venti White Choc. Mocha Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 Had my first panic attack of the year yesterday, one week before my first school reports. Time for the ole’ application valium I pull out of the back of the medicine cabinet. Do not mix with alcohol? Easy for you to say pill bottle, your life isn’t on the line here. We are all amazing and we will all get in! Grunty DaGnome 1
lolopixie Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 Mix with alcohol!!!! Just don't operate heavy machinery.
HaruNoKaze Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 Just checked the results page and shows someone got an offer from a program I was going to apply to... the application deadline isn't until feb 14th and they got an offer? *sigh* this sucks... i'd like to be able to say, "at least i've got chicken" but i'm a vegetarian...
HaruNoKaze Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 philosophy. I'm applying to phil and eng programs.
TripWillis Posted January 24, 2012 Author Posted January 24, 2012 I am almost a bit sad that I am responsible for creating this very dark, sad thread. I don't think most of my schools typically report until at least mid-February, so I have two weeks before my panic starts to set in.

It's not panic for me, it's flat out "omgsomeonegotacceptedanditwasn'tme!?" sadness. a little part of my soul is exstingished everytime i check the results page... and yet.. i keep checking it...

indalomena Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 It's not panic for me, it's flat out "omgsomeonegotacceptedanditwasn'tme!?" sadness. a little part of my soul is exstingished everytime i check the results page... and yet.. i keep checking it... nothing I applied to has appeared on the survey yet and yet I still manage to be nervous every time I look at it! I feel your pain.
HaruNoKaze Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 maybe "at least i have the forums" should be my phrase... woolferine 1
czenzi Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Hi, I'm new to the boards, but I feel like this is the best place to introduce myself. Every school I applied to this year (I suspect there will be a next year) was a reach, and the waiting is starting to get to me . . .
Mistral Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) I don't think most of my schools typically report until at least mid-February, so I have two weeks before my panic starts to set in. Do you think UC Davis will notify earlier this year??? The deadline was moved from Dec. 15th last year to Dec. 1st this year. Yikes! I hope that doesn't bring the panic on!

jma310 Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 mistral- i had a friend who got into UC-Davis in January last year. They really wanted her, I think.
Mistral Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Yeah - that was pretty early, jma310. I think most notifications were in February. I don't know how well my interests fit with the faculty research areas, but the program still looks great!
wintergirl Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) Maybe it's just the Sunday blues but I'm feeling overwhelmingly negative today--in that "0% confidence" frame of mind. Wondering why I ever thought applying was a good idea . . . which is ridiculous because no results from any of my programs have even been posted yet. Anyone else struggling with feelings of imminent doom in this weird limbo state? Edited January 29, 2012 by bespeckled
LLajax Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Bespeckeled, I'm right there with you. The gremlin of self doubt getting at both of us. I just keep thinking "I should be happy that I haven't heard anything back, since I'm only going to hear bad news. I should feel happy- silence is positive because it isn't negative!". Could be the Sunday blues... I also get the friday blues though, too. ("another week where I didn't hear anything, better settle in for the long haul.") On a funnier (?) note, I had a thought about the waiting game today- have you ever caught a bee in a jar, or accidentally closed one in a room? You know how they keep flying head first into the glass... I definitely feel like that. *refresh results page*bzzzzzzzz-oofh!*refresh results page*bzzzzzzz-ouch!*refresh forums* woolferine 1
