Need Coffee in an IV Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Sooo I'm most likely not getting into University of North Carolina. I thought my PI meeting was the 15th, nope it was today. I didn't realize my mistake until she emailed me at 1:20 and our meeting was at 1:00. I have had a headache all day and it was two hours away. Oh well, life moves on. I sent her an email in response apologizing for not showing up so at least I don't feel like a complete jerk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are human, remember, so don't beat yourself up too badly. I'm sure it's not the worst thing they've seen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a perfect fit so I'm just bracing myself for that reject email ha. Thanks, thats what my boyfriend said. If she doesn't reschedule I won't be heartbroken or anything. It was a pretty campus though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need Coffee in an IV Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 @Pink Fuzzy Bunny Thanks, for that! Yeah I'm just dusting my ego off a bit since my professionalism is something I feel very strong about. True about laughing about in the future! If I've never failed at something/did something embarrassing I wouldn't have any interesting stories to tell. Pink Fuzzy Bunny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have nothing to hide, it just seems like it would be annoying to hunt down that many applicants... If they attempt that on me, they are going to find a ghost. I long-since wearied of social networking before Facebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I long-since wearied of social networking before Facebook. Admissions will most likely be confused if they tried looking me up on Facebook. I have one active profile and 4 other profiles I made when I was a teenager. For some odd reason I thought it was funny to have 5 mes online. Of course I've forgotten the email/password to those so I can't delete them. Btw if anyone had a myspace account you should look yours up. I did and it made me laugh to look back. I was bummed they took down my playlist, it took me hours to find the right combination of angst filled songs haha Edited January 11, 2016 by Need Coffee in an IV Internet Whoops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't either, nor any new linkedin views, but I have had (some) positive response to applications.

Most of my applications were due around Jan. 5th...It's only the 11th, so I really doubt anybody has glanced at my file yet. I would suspect either this week through the end of January, I'll see more activity on my linkedin/academia.edu profiles...I wouldn't start contacting professors yet.

Yes, I'm in Illinois and feeling that same disdain of having to get out of bed to deal with work/waiting/school/snow. Honestly, I don't know what I'd do without this forum.
