Nope nope nope, and I'm wondering when the heck we will hear! You just inspired me to check my online app, which also says "No decision." I'm almost positive that that's the same thing it has said every time I've visited, but I could be wrong.

 

Hallucinations, then.  I am not even remotely surprised that I have reached this point.

Hey all, I've been quietly stalking the thread for a little bit, and finally decided my anxiety needs an outlet. I applied to 9 schools, and haven't heard from a single one. At this point, a rejection letter would even be fine just to get things over with. Pretty sure BC, Notre Dame and Penn State already sent out their acceptances, too. None of my friends are involved in/interested in the world of academia, so I feel like I am floating alone on a very teeny island. I'm sure there are plenty of others who haven't heard from schools, either, but I'm beginning to think it's just not going to happen! 

 

Well hello there, I just clicked the link above in asleepawake's profile, and saw the list of the zillions of schools who haven't begun to notify (or at least it isn't widely known that they are notifying). That helped. A little.

Bleh, unfortunately I haven't done a very good job of actually updating that link. I should either update it or take it out of my signature. The results board is the best place to look for actual information.

 

ETA: I've started to do some updating.

OK I don't know how YesStyle got involved here, but PSA PLEASE NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM THERE. They will not fit you the way they are shown. Google for more information on this. You'll thank me later. 

 

Ninja edit: yes I am embarrassingly knowledgeable about fashion and my defence is that I'm very interested in avant garde fashion (Comme des Garçons, Alexander McQueen, etc.).

Psht never be embarrassed by an interest in fashion. Here's an awesome new academic book I'm reading that reads Coco Chanel as a modernist, alongside Wyndham Lewis and Mina Loy (who apparently designed jewelry): http://books.google.com/books/about/Cold_Modernism.html?id=t1U0-8fbEMwC

Haha, it is true that YesStyle clothes can be kinda weird, but I've had some luck with them. They deal with so many different companies that I've found a few good ones. The measurements I've seen have usually been pretty close, but I shop in their "plus and larger size" area, where more things come in at least a few different sizes. I do have one dress that came and it's almost too short to be a SHIRT.

This begs the question:

 

Should I be embarrassed about knowing just as much about fashion as my cat?

 

Unless your cat is really fashionable, I say yes.

As much as your cat knows about fashion, or as much as you know about your cat?

Yeah, sorry. That was awkward syntax.

 

The former.

 

Though it might be just as sad if it was the latter.
