Application season has begun

[Borden]

So I understand Yale's application went online yesterday, has anyone gotten the jump on application season and turned theirs in yet? Or does anyone else still feel like this from last round:

 

 

ETA: upon checking, my bad! It isn't actually live yet. Poo to the person who gave me bad info, and poo on me for not checking first!

 

ETA AGAIN: No, it's supposed to be open as per their application website, but isn't letting me start a new one....

At least the dog doesn't have a "cone of shame."

 

Okay, okay, sorry.

 

On a most serious note, yes, it is difficult to encounter reapplying... I'm facing that myself.... but at least we have this community to help us get through it?

Page seems to be working, but perhaps PIN generation etc. may take a few more days. Surely, it is far too early for anyone to apply. My orientation hasn't even begun!

I'm not even going to think about signing in again until it's much closer to the time to send mine in, but the little nagging refrain of IT'S OPEN YOU SHOULD WORK ON THIS THING YOU LAZY BUTT has begun...

I'm starting to sign up online across the board. I'm excited but I'm starting to self-deprecate. I'm sure these mood swings are absolutely normal.

It doesn't look like UCLA is up yet even though they have the earliest application deadline but basically everyone else is at least letting you make an account.

Accurate summary of how I feel writing emails to all the POIs from last year:

Who else hates phonecalls with Important POIs??

[EloiseGC]

I didn't do so many phone calls, more like creepy, fan-girly emails. 

 

I'm pretty sure that this was impression I left half of my POIs with:

I have a bunch where the distance (and internationalness) makes visiting impossible so I've had a ton of phone conversations with people whose work was, y'know, hugely formative and influential, and even when they go well they're just emotionally draaaaaaaaaaaaaaining.

 

I'm with you on the creepy fangirl emails though, there was one where I was all but licking the screen in eagerness.
