No news yet and I am losing my mind!!!

I don't know what to think, it seems like all people have already get a response either rejected or accepted, but not me. I have applied to PhD programs in Earth Science at six schools of which I got rejected from the two that weren't my best fit. However, I'm still waiting to hear from Washington, Rice, Maryland and UCSB, but at March 6th I haven't heard anything yet. Today, I am feeling like shit, severely anxious and completely hopeless! Should I give up on my waiting and assume that I got rejected from everywhere? I don't know what to expect

I don't think it would hurt to at least contact your prospective PI or graduate coordinator of the program. I contacted them and they were fairly receptive and responded fairly quickly.

Omg!! I'm waiting too! I applied to 3 schools in the US and 1 in the UK and I am going craaaaaazy! I keep refreshing my inbox and checking my email. But, all 3 of the schools I applied to in the US say that notifications go out any time between Mar 1 and April 15 so I guess I have a few more weeks to continue going crazy Lord help us.

I still haven't heard from 6 places, so I know how you feel.

 

On the other hand, a new Zelda is out. I really owe you, Nintendo, you waited for the best possible moment.
