Limeade Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 i can't count. sometimes when i want to check it said " updated just now " This happens to me too often lately. Now that it's officially March, I feel like I'm checking several times every hour. Going crazy waiting!!
Mr. Impatiently Waiting Posted March 4, 2015 Author Posted March 4, 2015 Checked it for the billionth time today and a letter finally appeared. It was a rejection letter, but whatever... at least it was something. I still have two more programs that are supposed to get back to me. Keeping my fingers crossed that I don't get shutout.
thepinkdragon76 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Well, financial aid at least got my FAFSA. I can check my awards at the end of March by logging on with my student ID.... That doesn't yet exist. On a good note a saw a blue bird today, supposed to be good luck. Please lord let that be a sign.
Kloppo Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Its 18:31 by my timezone now and I've checked the mail about 30 times today already. This wait is excruciatingly annoying and thats being very modest.
PhDEducation Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 The timezone thing is a killer, even just being 3hrs off, when I get to work and check 10 times between 8-10 am no one from the other school is even thought about heading in to work.
thepinkdragon76 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Another Financial Aid email stating I meet or exceed their Satifactory Academic Progress Standards for Financial aid. Um, ok. Well at least that department tells people things in a timely manner! I swear my head is going to explode checking the portal and my email and waiting for push notifications. PhDEducation 1
Mr. Impatiently Waiting Posted March 5, 2015 Author Posted March 5, 2015 I think I have finally gotten to a point in my email addiction where I am actually afraid to check it. My first decision letter, which was a rejection, has me paranoid that more bad news is on the way. That bad trip has me on the straight and narrow hahah I think I might finally be cured. I don't need my email fix as bad as I thought I did.
darkmirror Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 This admission thing helped me to clean my email from spam. I finally unsubscribed from everything I could. Cpt Jo and Mr. Impatiently Waiting 2
MathCat Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 I'm still checking my email compulsively, even after hearing back from all my programs.... Now I'm corresponding with current students and professors, waiting on funding information, and waiting to hear about visit days. Will it ever end??
thepinkdragon76 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 It's become a sickness. Check email, check junk, check portal x 1000000000000 I suck. Totally impatient. Trying not to be, but I just cannot help it!!! Lol PhDEducation 1
Heaven'sMaiden Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Checking my mail is getting annoying. I check that thing like every hour to two hours. I want to move on with my life and either know that I am grad school bound or not. I am trying to be patient but it is hard.
Rylai Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 I think I've been checking my email at least twice every waking hour for the past week. Now that I've found this site, I have something to check in between checking my email.
PhDEducation Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 At least once every 10 min, even with push notifications. We were told that decisions would be emailed out today, plus I still keep looking for any information from my top choice
Babara Keller Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) You should ask how many times you check your email per hour... Edited March 20, 2015 by Babara Keller
thepinkdragon76 Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Well, spring break ends this weekend so that means starting Monday I'll be back to checking every hour. Lol
student_3 Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I use to only check gradcafe results like 3-4 times a day and I was doing pretty well about refraining from checking my email. That was until five people posted that they heard back from my program today. Now... Refresh email every 5 minutes even though it gets pushed to my phone anyway. In between refreshes, I check the cafe results search to see anyone else posted from my program. Occasionally, I'll eat and sleep. lol...but seriously. thepinkdragon76 1
Cpt Jo Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 There is always an email tab opened in my browser, but I still check every ten minutes, so 50-100 times. I also check gradcafé results 20 times per day.
thepinkdragon76 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 No need to check anymore. My dreams were quashed this morning. Lol maybe next year! Cpt Jo 1
