SLPosteriorCricoarytenoid Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 The more I wait the more irrational my thoughts get about my applications. I have started ruminating on whether I made huge mistakes on my statement of purpose or made other embarrassing mistakes. I have zero chill.

BeatrizBear Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I'm second guessing what I put down in my statement of purpose. D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly44 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I'm second guessing what I put down in my statement of purpose. D: Haha That's exactly why I refuse to re-read mine! I know I will start picking it apart! Sujie and elijahbaley 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grad_wannabe Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I'm second guessing what I put down in my statement of purpose. D: That way lies sorrow. I tried to re-read mine and was a little disgusted (which always seems to happen when I read my own work). Don't do it! There's nothing to be gained.

BeatrizBear Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I'm starting to think that I didn't clarify my research interests enough, but some of them had like a page limit for my statement of purpose and I also had to justify entering a program when I didn't major in that field as an undergrad or in my MA. I've also been rejected twice, waitlisted twice, and have two more schools that I have a feeling are going to reject me since they've sent notices a long time ago. I might end up waiting until April at this rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kloppo Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I share @grad_wannabe's sentiments on not re-reading the SOP. I for one have been able to suppress the lure of doing that as I feel my research interest wasnt detailed enough and I fear reading it over may just show how clueless I was explaining it in the letter. Its so hard writting a SOP of just 500 words as you will definitely leave out some vital details that may have swunged the decision in one's favour. All in All, the wait is terrible, one more week of this and I will make a nuisance of myself to the Admissions department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyronomus4 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I’ve been very strict about not going back to look over any application materials after they’re submitted. It hasn’t been a problem until this week… I REALLY want to read my SOP but I know it’s a terrible idea. Instead I’ve been reading old encouraging emails from professors and some of the top papers from my masters program. Reading those has been a nice change of pace from crippling self doubt that’s come as a result of this application process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamrock_Frog Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Yep. This waiting period is driving me insane. I still have one more interview but it would be nice to have an acceptance already in hand! (I've already interviewed at my top choices, and this other interview is my third choice).

An acceptance would be beautiful, and would make this waiting period at least a little bit less stressful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiochemMom Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I swear to God I'm so sick of this weather. UNC has been closed so much for snow and ice I feel like it'll be mid March before I hear back. Gah!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floatingmolecule Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 An acceptance would be beautiful, and would make this waiting period at least a little bit less stressful. That is just it. I don't have a single acceptance, not even a waitlist! So all this waiting seems like a river flowing towards impending doom - it seems the longer it takes, the infinitely closer I get to the abyss without ever really reaching anything but an exponential level of crazy.

sleepyjoey Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Went to an interview a Yale, heard multiple people have been given offers already, heard of one person being wait listed, still haven't heard a thing.

maozedong Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) Just re-read my SOP and I used "diminish" when I should have used "diminishes". There is no way I am getting accepted now.

ckoz84 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Just had an interview today and it's a rollercoaster thinking about how I did... Mostly I'm thinking it didn't go as well as it could have. Also, it seems like there were WAY more applicants to spots available than in years past. Sigh...

HashtagKitKat Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I feel all of this so much! I'm now ruminating on whether I did something awful on my interview or where on the list I am. I've been stalking the results page and no one in my group has posted anything... Am I waitlisted? Am I on their "must have" list?? I'm a ball of anxiety!!
