punctilious Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Another day of silence over here... Come on Maryland, Delaware, and Boston College!
Crow T. Robot Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 Another day of silence over here, too. It's finally starting to get to me.

I'm not attracted to men, but I won't lie: David Draiman's growling baritone is pretty sexy. Also: you're absolutely right, @Elle Coronaria, that was an incredible cover!

TaliaTee Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) Well, the OSU rejection emails were sent out. I knew the rejection was coming since accepted applications were updated a few days ago and mine still said “pending,” but having it confirmed made me feel awful. Now to wait in agony for responses from the other 9 schools I applied to.... Sending positive vibes to everyone who got the rejection email today! Just remember: this isn’t the end. After all, we only need to get into one program! Edited January 30, 2018 by TaliaTee

a_sort_of_fractious_angel Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 I've spent today thinking about if I'd rather be rejected outright or waitlisted at my dreamboat school.

Between logging into every application portal and checking my email and seeing nothing but "submitted' and "under review," I'm not sure I'll be able to make it through the week! With a straight rejection from OSU and an implied rejection from Wisconsin, I'm more chill. The emails will ultimately end up in my inbox. Also, @jpbends: Did you apply to the Literature department's PhD at UCSD? TaliaTee 1
E. Coronaria Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 6 minutes ago, jpbends said: Yes! I'm hoping to work with Erin Suzuki, whose scholarship on transpacific relationships between the U.S., Hawai'i, and the Philippines (along with Denise Cruz!) has really influenced the way I approach my research. I’ve worked with Dr. Suzuki before. She is absolutely fantastic. She even read through my first conference paper to help calm my nerves, as I was only 19 and felt so unqualified.

la_mod Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 I'm trying to decide whether I should limit how many times I refresh the results page. This whole thing feels like a compulsion that I probably shouldn't give into.... but then again, is there any real harm? Perhaps distracting myself with such a silly question will do me some good.

Uggh same here-nothing has even changed on my application pages! Too early for any of the schools I applied to, but still have that irrational feeling that this is the year the school decides to notify early. Plus, I feel a rush of adrenaline when I read about everyone else's acceptances!

Plus, I feel a rush of adrenaline when I read about everyone else's acceptances! I’m in the same boat! I’ve got about two weeks, at least, before I hear any more results, but I’m still constantly refreshing the results page as if the good vibes from all of those acceptances will give me a greater chance of getting into a program (or as if all the rejections will make me feel a little bit calmer about the rejections I’ll inevitably get).
