lolopixie Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Dear sweet baby jesus laying there in your manger....please oh please oh please let Miami report to me and tell me that I am in. I single out Miami because they should report like now. I cannot take this waiting anymore. AT ALL. The anxiety is on full blast and lolo needs a hug....constantly! marlowe and SomedaySLP 2
jywayne Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 I definitely feel you there. I just want to hear SOMETHING positive. If not Miami, perhaps Ole Miss will be kind to both of us.
ekant Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 I send everyone here a massive hug. I've still yet to be accepted to a program. I'm having an existential crisis at the moment.
anxious_aspirant Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 An acceptance right now might turn me into a believer. Divine light from the heavens and whatever else. Also, best thread title I've seen in a while. Instant reaction: YES. I think "Waiting list is NOT the end!" has become a personal mantra, hopefully with equally divine/revelatory qualities.

rdsull89 Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 I'm right there with you all--anxiety overload! Waiting on UCI, here, and they seem to be trickling in at an excruciating pace. Fearful at UCR 1
ekant Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 I wold kill for a wait list at this point. Kill. Luckily I'm still in the running for both the University of Oregon and the University of Rochester. They have been my two top choices all along. Everyone here needs hugs. Many hugs. It's so hard for me to see the other threads where people are like "how do I politely tell six schools (or x amount of schools) that I need to pass up my acceptance?" I wish people could just donate acceptances over, haha.
RoundandRoundAgain Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 I send all the hugs to everyone.
TripWillis Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 I send all the hugs to everyone. Pulling for all you guys BIG TIME.

It's so hard for me to see the other threads where people are like "how do I politely tell six schools (or x amount of schools) that I need to pass up my acceptance?" I wish people could just donate acceptances over, haha. I agree on all accounts, especially the last section. I've begun planning a third season of apps in an attempt to motivate past the shame of asking professors for letters a third time . . . and I'm still waiting on 5 schools (two of which are great, great fits and one of which is my top choice: Rochester). I'm a neurotic mess after going 0/5 so far this round and 1/10 (an unfunded) last round. I mean, the first round was good schools but not good fits . . . but . . . damn.
Silent_G Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Yes. Very much need a hug. One long, warm, tight squeeze. Huge e-hug to all of you.
antecedent Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Biiiig hugs all around! You guys have been so kind, supportive, and informative, and it fills me with relief to know that there are such wonderful people who will be entering PhD programs across the world in the next few years. Hopefully I'll be PhD-ing it up with y'all two years from now!

I hope we both get into Rochester. I hope you get in to one (with funding). I really do. Third season of applications must be extraordinarily difficult to handle. This whole process has been messing with me to no end.
wintergirl Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Big hugs to everyone in this thread -- especially people still waiting for an acceptance. <3 Personally, I feel like I have despair oozing out of my pores these days. Super fun times!
WendyMoira Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 HUG! I wish I could give out real once, since these threads seem so extraordinarily supportive. I feel like this is a cyber-commune. Remember: it's not over until April 15th...and April 15th comes every year. I, too, have thought, "man, if people could decline an offer and nominate their replacement, we'd all be happy..."

ekant Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 To everyone in this forum community, Thank you for being so goddamned supportive. It's especially comforting to see such support for people who you don't even know. I love it. That's all. ekant 1
GodzillaGrad Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 This. I feel you. I hope we both get into Rochester. I hope you get in to one (with funding). I really do. Third season of applications must be extraordinarily difficult to handle. This whole process has been messing with me to no end. And the same back to you. And woot for both into Rochester, eh? Especially due to different specializations (I'm focusing on 20th century American lit/film primarily).
rdsull89 Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 This post is awesome--as is the forum. Good luck to you all! Fearful at UCR 1
verdalantreas Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) Hugs. And good luck everyone! (am stressing out about an interview in 3 days...!!!) And some more hugs and good wishes... Edited February 28, 2012 by verdalantreas
Stately Plump Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Hugs to everyone! I'm pulling for you guys! I hope everyone gets in! +++ energy to all
cquin Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 To lolo and everyone else in this thread: HUGS and positive vibes! <3
Tabz Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 HUGS to everyone. Just remember you're awesome, amazing, and you've made it this far in life. And that ain't too shabby.
