mostlytoasty Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Thanks guys, I wish you the best as well! This is a different feeling from last season... rejected from 11 schools with the exception of some consolation prizes. Keep on keepin on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DontHate Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Should just be another week or two before the rest of the UCs start notifying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfLorax Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 On my way to Rome from Paris, I decided to hop on airport wifi. First thing I did? Check my email of course! No news there. Second thing I did? Checked gradcafe! So happy to see this good news party. Congratulations to all who have heard back already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eager Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Congrats. I hope to hear something this week coming! Today is my anniversary (18 years of marriage) so I owe it to myself to stop obsessing for a little while at least and enjoy myself. Soooo no checking the website tonight, right? sebastiansteddy, DontHate, Two Espressos and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontHate Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 my goodness that's a lot of marriage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eager Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Yes, it is! But my parents were married for 51 years, so that keeps it in perspective for me! It is so good to hear that people are getting notifications. I am so praying that my good news phone call/email/letter is on the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghijklmn Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 YOU GUYS, I just almost had a heart attack! I was perusing the results board and getting impatient about hearing back, and at that moment I got an e-mail from UT Austin's Comp Lit department. Turns out they just wanted to tell me that they never got my writing sample and to send it to them ASAP - although, of course, I had sent it back in October with all my other materials! Must have gotten lost in the shuffle. Anyway, I hope that means they're reviewing apps right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfat Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 You know, I've been handling this waiting period very patiently and maturely for over a month. I've really been able to distract myself with research and preparing for next semester... and then I decided to watch the third season of Glee (don't judge--it's a guilty pleasure) and there's an episode where everyone was getting admissions results for college and suddenly I was like ZOMG I MUST HAVE MY RESULTS NOOOOOWW!! Has anyone else gone through these periods of brief but desperate impatience/anxiety? How did you get through them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swagato Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Force myself to read a minimum number of pages of the books I'm reading, each day. Since I have to understand to my satisfaction whatever I'm reading, this means that if, in distraction, I skim pages I inevitably have to go and re-read them. So it goes. asleepawake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waparys Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I didn't. I just indulge in my neuroses, understanding that they will go away in about 6 weeks when all this is over. It doesn't help that I deal with kids applying to college every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two Espressos Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 It won't be long for some places. Judging from previous years, NYU and Northwestern will probably start notifying by next week or so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
