They probably meant to quote one of the previous posts about the cold

Ah. 

Although, ASU is pretty warm too!

Thanks! Always been bad at spelling...

I feel if I really vent my feelings about DePaul and Villanova taking their time to consider the applicants, then I'd somehow jinx myself. But come on you guys, I just want to know, I don't even care if its a rejection (omg I care so much).

Fighting the urge to show up at Brown like, HI, IT'S ME, I baked you this cake and washed your car for you, no reason, just being the upstanding, hardworking, caring student that I am...

Seriously!! I've planned a visit to the school that already accepted me but hasn't decided on funding yet, and I'm like "okay so what if I show up with like, gift baggies for everyone?"

Is the link relevant to ASU? I'm not following.

The link is relevant to every application, because every application is a mistake when you could instead be reading philosophy in Hawaii with a faculty that takes their department photos wearing luaus.

(And yes. It seems I quoted the wrong post.)

p.s. I was sneaking grad cafe in my class yesterday and my worst fear was accidentally pressing play on one of those german youtube videos :X

On a different note, how great would it be for the results page to be automatically refreshing? Why the hell don't they do that

No, don't do that. If you burn down the schools, you'll burn down our acceptance letters.

I feel really sad today. These admissions season mood swings are something else...

[Chrysippus'Doge]

I'm beginning to wonder if my applications even got to departments. I mean, I know they did because it says so on the websites... but for all the feedback I've gotten, I might as well not have even applied. In short, I'm losing my damn mind.

I'm with you so, so much. It's kind of the archetypal, funny thing, oh look how stressful this is, admissions season is the worst, but I mean. It's genuinely depressing. And it's hard to keep a consistent mood level when you're vacillating back and forth between brash confidence and the depths of self-loathing.

I literally got sad today because I saw a little bird hopping around on the sidewalk and I thought his little feet must be cold.

Can I just say, venting thread = favorite thread

Shit is real here.

I just realised one of my supervisors had an unsuccessful job interview at one of the schools I applied to and haven't heard from yet. 

If they didn't want him, they probs won't want me. Might as well count that as a rejection, right?

We could all use someone like Amy Adams in our life...

Oh i'd think the opposite. Positions are extremely difficult to get, just the fact that he got an interview I'd say is a plus for your application because of the positive name recognition. Just because someone was ultimately unsuccessful doesn't mean they left a negative impression on the committee.

Yeah.. that's what I hope for.

My main supervisor has a lot of friends at this particular school. It's my highest hope..

Fingers crossed!

I like that the acceptance thread was "hot" earlier and now it's the venting thread. The shine has worn off the first two weeks and the madness has finally begun to set in.
