I'm obsessing so much that I've gone onto google street view for everywhere I've applied and tried to imagine I'm there. Lame, I know. I'm taking the opposite approach: forget that I've even applied.

indalomena Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Dear Yale, please do not give me a heart attack by writing me emails titled "Yale Graduate School Application Status" but in fact are just notifications of receipt. SO SCARY.

poeteer Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) I had a dream I got into a Lit program to which I did not apply. The lady announced it to me in person, saying that she loved my critical sample. But then all these internet commenters posted to say that my paper was a disaster and that I shouldn't have been accepted. (whoops, meant to post this under the "coping" thread. Oh well.)

Timshel Posted January 13, 2012 Author Posted January 13, 2012 I know this is totally minor, but I just realized that I put the wrong date on an award I received on my CV. It's a stupid typo, but it doesn't make sense because it's an award I received at graduation and the date I put was two years before I even graduated. Wow. I'm not sure how I did that. Ugh.
cquin Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 Here's my grievance for the day: I received an e-mail from one of my schools that said my transcripts are missing. I found this odd, considering that I overnight-ed that shit two weeks ago. I logged in to check my status and turns out that they're referring to transcripts from a school I attended on a study abroad program, even though the credits from said school are listed on my main undergrad transcript. WHY? I ask. WHY do they need an official transcript for the eight credits I took at a foreign university when those credits are already listed??? Now I have to scramble to somehow procure an official transcript, all the while praying that my application will not be immediately voided and tossed in the trash. Can't this process ever be easy?
woolferine Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 My most recent grievance: in the last 24 hours, I've received two phone calls, one from a San Francisco number and one from a Texas number...both were telemarketers. I don't even know how I'm on their lists, but whatever. I know it's too early to be hearing, but my body went into full blown panic mode for both nonetheless. It would be awesome if telemarketers could call me from cities where I didn't apply to grad school, kthanxbai

Now I have to scramble to somehow procure an official transcript, all the while praying that my application will not be immediately voided and tossed in the trash. Can't this process ever be easy? I hear you. I had to send a separate transcript for ONE! transfer course I took at another school, even though the credits are listed on my main transcript and I was never a full time student at the second school because I was still taking the rest of my courseload for that semester at my college. But I know it's because the grade wasn't listed for the transfer course. For me the most annoying part was that transcripts from my college are free, but of course I had to pay to get transcripts for this one course at the other school. Ah well.

BreathingSister Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 My grievance right now is that I cannot motivate myself to work on my SOP for Rutgers--which is due tomorrow. Instead, I've spent the past hour looking at apartment complexes in all of my potential new home cities. Does anyone else do this? Even when I'm not directly working towards grad school, I'm fantasizing about grad school. I DO THIS, thank you for writing. I soooo do this, it's a curse.
