Hillary Emick Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) I got accepted at my first choice! I interviewed almost two months ago, and in the mean time got rejected from my second choice and have been second-guessing everything I said or did at my interview ever since. Got the notification at 10 pm last night but didn't check my email until this morning. I feel slightly less neurotic about all those times I checked my email one last time before going to bed, feeling insane to even bother, as if any adcom member would be at their computer at 10 at night sending out notifications. Ha. I am so excited I can't sit still. It was so good to have all of you to commiserate with on the long nutty waiting it out process. It was such a roller coaster and nobody who hasn't been through it really understands how stressful it is and how much it can make you doubt yourself.

mcdonaad Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Congratulations! Do we dare ask where you got accepted?
Hillary Emick Posted March 9, 2012 Author Posted March 9, 2012 Arizona State University, Environmental Life Sciences PhD. http://els.asu.edu/ I'll be doing research under their astrobiology initiative. It is a really unique interdisciplinary program. They also have family housing in a really good school district, which might not matter at all to most grad students but it was critical for me as a parent.

It is a really unique interdisciplinary program. Congratulations, that's fantastic! They have a great program there (I did my undergrad research in biogeochemistry under one of the NAI/ELS professors). Everyone in those labs are awesome, helpful people, lots of them with families and they're all very understanding. I'm sure you'll love doing your research there.
verdalantreas Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 Congratulations! Great to hear that it is working out for you!

jordanami Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 Very cool! I had looked at that program, but my application wasn't ready in time for the deadline. Exciting! Congratulations!
