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.

[thestage]

whelp

 

I guess I'm not going to Buffalo either.  this is about to get out of hand

Not pathetic at all!

Thanks, thinkagain. I mean, Chicago was expected, but it would be really nice if I had SOME positive news.

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?

Last week, 2 rejects in 4 days, not a SINGLE word since then, the silence is deafening....echo....echo....echo...............................................

[cbttcher]

The implied NYU rejection kind of bummed me out... Not good if you're supposed to be writing your thesis.

[slvitale]

Is everyone else assuming rejections from Duke?

[practical cat]

The best news I have "heard" so far is not being rejected from Vanderbilt. Total silence, still.

[bfat]

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...

 

[slvitale]

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.

[chaucerettescs]

I feel you, Lilo. I feel you.

Nope.  We're here, writhing in our misery.

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'm with you.  I'm not okay right now.

Oh! But guys! Guess what helps?

 

LOTS OF RUM.

LOTS OF RUM.

I really want to like this, but I am out of upvotes. So someone, anyone, please like Bfat's comment for me.

[cbttcher]

 

I don't have any rum...

[downtherabbithole]

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.

[t1racyjacks]

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]

[lisajay]

remain calm, t1racyjacks, i don't think anyone has heard back from those particular programs. keep the faith!

[DontHate]

As one of my profs said recently: It's not over until April 15th!

[dazedandbemused]

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.
