MaxWeberHasAPosse Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 I've never felt more anxious about anything in my life. Last semester I wrote my thesis and with my grad apps time went by very quickly. Granted, this semester has just started but it feels like I can't go on with my life until I get accepted somewhere. Anyone else have similar sentiments? I know, things could be a lot worse!!
Quorra Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Are most of you applying for Masters admissions or PhD? I'm just a friendly, helpful board stalker, my husband has apps out for his PhD.

I think most of the posters are PhD candidates....(myself included) I could be wrong...I'm a lowly lurker most of the time. Edited January 14, 2015 by busybeinganxious

juiceboxrampage Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) I'm starting to freak out about the fact that I didn't apply to many safety schools. My advisors were trash talking a lot of the safety schools I was considering and told me I wouldn't be able to get a job if I went there, so I just didn't bother applying... Now I'm worried I was too overconfident. I saw an Emory rejection for Sociology on the results page today... I was supposed to hear back from Emory's Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies department yesterday. I'm assuming no news at this point is bad news? Their email said we'd hear back around January 13th or 14th, though. Ugh even if I was rejected, I just want to know! The waiting game is so hard. (Edit: Also, is it okay if I update on Women's Studies, since there's no separate forum for it and it's pretty closely related to Sociology? Did anyone else apply to both types of programs like I did?) Edited January 15, 2015 by juiceboxrampage

uselesstheory Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Hey juicebox: there's a really big thread under "Interdisciplinary Studies" about women's studies programs/applicants/decisions and whatnot. It may be helpful if you're trying to find out what's going on with decisions specific to those programs!
Anonymona Posted January 15, 2015 Author Posted January 15, 2015 Hey all, I just got into UCLA. I'm so excited - my excitement matches my level of anxiety over the past few months. Holy wow. I'm trying to stay off GradCafe for the most part (so as not to feed my anxiety...), but PM me if you have any questions.
DDsoc Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Got into OSU! Woo! Feel free to message me with any questions! Has anyone who's gotten in anywhere heard anything about funding? You don't have to say what you got, just curious if your funding package was included in your letter. Mine wasn't, but I'm trying to call now to figure it out.

I feel the same way and my boyfriend keeps laughing at me because of my mental state right now... glad to know I'm not alone!

I heard that they have been really busy and will be sending out e-mails either tomorrow or Monday!!!
DDsoc Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Which OSU? There are three... The Ohio State University! Sorry for the confusion.
ritsukot74 Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 The Ohio State University! Sorry for the confusion. What other schools did you apply to? Care to share your stats (GRE, GPA, conferences, publications...)????
DDsoc Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 What other schools did you apply to? Care to share your stats (GRE, GPA, conferences, publications...)???? I messaged you privately!

letstalkshop Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 In case anyone is wondering, I called UCLA today and they said they'll be sending out more acceptances.
