1Q84 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 When it dawns on you that, if you get an acceptance, it'll probably occur on Apr 14 after all the first choices decline and solidify their choices and schools turn to their waitlists: iwontbelyeveit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hannalore Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 When I see that I finally got a decision email: When I see what the decision is: When my boyfriend says he has faith in me, and that the next decision will be an acceptance: Deciding to get a pie and a bottle of wine to eat/drink my feelings (doesn't fit the theme, I know): Realizing after a couple of glasses that the rejection doesn't define me and that: Ready for more decisions!

NMLogan Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 When you unexpectedly get an rejection from a program that normally doesn't release results until March: When people try to be supportive during the waiting period by asking you what Plan B is if the PhD doesn't happen: When you think you've got it all under control (until you don't): Just. Want. One. Acceptance. : When you remember that results aren't going to roll in until after the weekend after a long week of waiting: And finally, GC, when someone needs a little extra love: 1Q84, kurayamino, Lexie16 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
