hopefulslp2b Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I just want to hear back from schools already! I'm going crazy here!! I just want to know if my dreams will come true! One more week until March! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly44 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Ahhhh me too!! This has been the longest month of my life. Good luck to everyone!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scisl006 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 We are definitely all in the same position. It is getting to be towards the end though thank goodness! I don't know how much more I can take hopefulslp2b 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmarie Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Same here! I wish most schools didn't say "mid-March"... Spring break is gonna consist of me snuggling up to my dogs and trying not to refresh my email every ten minutes D: hopefulslp2b 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChatterBrain Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 This is definitely torture! I can't wait to hear back (from one program in particular), but at the same time I know as the decisions draw near, I will be so nervous! One of the most exciting/nerve-wracking experiences of my life. So much on the line. At least life isn't boring! ;-p hopefulslp2b 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickthesheriff Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 The other day I suddenly became worried that my application essays were horrible, or that maybe one of my references said I was not fit for grad school. It's so absurd because I spent endless amounts of time writing my essays and I know my LOR writers so well... why am I so paranoid?! bindlestiff, slpPLS and hopefulslp2b 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly44 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 haha because it's completely normal to be paranoid when you have so much on the line. And most professors in the past have said that it would be unethical to write a bad letter of rec and they would instead decline to write one if asked by someone they were unsure about. slpPLS, hopefulslp2b, rickthesheriff and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpiccolo Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Amen. It's nice to know we're all in the same boat I guess! I'm sooo ready for March, though nervous what the outcomes will be. I'm tired of telling people that I hope to have positive news soon but nothing yet over and over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopefulslp2b Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 Yes! I also re read my statements and ponder on what my professors said about me? Ahh I'm glad we at least know what we are going through because I know my family and boyfriend are sick and tired of me talking about the same old thing! But this is a huge deal and I'm glad we all can relate! I think I'm going to try and distract myself, but I just can't help but THINK ABOUT IT!!! bindlestiff, OhioAud, rickthesheriff and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz113 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I'm trying to be productive with my nervous energy, but sometimes nervous energy is just unfocused energy. bindlestiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLPosteriorCricoarytenoid Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) It might sound weird, but it will be a very strange feeling when all of this waiting is over. It has become such a consuming part of life! Haha. I think I have doubted almost every part of my application since I've been waiting. I have avoided opening my personal statements because I'm scared I will see mistakes on them. I have also went a little overboard and made a document on my computer with my programs' dates that they sent out decisions from past years. Yep, I have hit rock bottom. Isn't admitting you have a problem the first step to recovery or something like that? I accept my neurotic tendencies!

Holly44 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I think we're all a little neurotic at this point! I also made a sheet that contains all of the dates that my schools sent out admissions last year as well so don't feel bad. Maybe we're all just crazy type A personalities?

polarbeara Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 You're not the only one who made a document with when schools sent out decisions last year!!! I've also been obsessively checking the results search for each of my schools even though I know for a fact nothing will be going out for at least a week. You guys aren't the only crazy ones. 4343432434 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caligirl002 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Even though I won't hear anything for a couple more weeks; at least, I am constantly checking the result's page as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSSLHANerd Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I feel like I know you all! I have done the same things and constantly check the results search even though the document I made predicts I still have a few weeks to wait. When I have nervous energy, I work out. This is something new I started doing and I am very happy with the effect it has on my anxious feelings. Good luck to everyone! polarbeara 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caligirl002 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I actually have been writing a lot: articles, short stories. That's a good avenue for nervous energy. mr479 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
