The Projected Results Game

[purpleperson]

I'm guessing a bit of depression is probably normal right now. A week ago I felt like I'd had the best news of my life and today I feel like I had the worst. Looking from the outside, I really have no right to complain, but I still feel crappy. Who knows where I'll be in another week.

 

If you're finding it hard to be optimistic, don't worry, I'll doing the hoping for you in the meantime. And if you ever feel the need to bitch privately feel free to message me.

 

Thanks again.  

 

I may take you up on that.

 

I'm sad.  

 

Actually, what I feel more right now is desperate.  

 

Sad & desperate.

 

I'll be all right, though.  (I'm being kind of a drama queen, lol.)  There's still two weeks of maybe hearing good news...

Ha! Lots of nots. Three nots. I hope I make up for it with at least three "yes" letters/emails/calls.

I did shoot for the moon - I applied to some great programs. But I took the names out of my signature because I'm really great myself. I don't want to be just another applicant to UT Austin. I don't want to be "the guy who applied at 3 places I applied and 4 places I've never heard of".

Besides I just sort of got tired of all the name-dropping. (nothing y'all do) but around friend. All of this, "did you apply here? and here? and here?" and "Miami Ohio? isn't that a small school?"

So with that said - MY PROJECTED RESULTS:

I bet I get into a 2 places that I'm super happy with and I bet they're super happy to have me.

I bet I get denied at 2 places that I really would have loved.

I bet a have a tough choice between the 2 acceptances come April.

I bet I don't hear back from 1 until May.

Update.

Denied at 1 place.

Accepted at 1 place (waitlisted for funding but I'll still chalk this up as an accept)

Haven't heard from 3 places - but  until I hear otherwise I'll assume I'm double-secret-waitlisted.
