I love you.

I was wondering the same thing... :hugs:

I'll just get away from all this rush and read, read, read. See you in a couple of days! (or hours if I fail )

Congrats PhDreaming! And, of course, busbus and Ling304!!!! I hope everything goes OK with your interview. Just don't freak out, you've made it this far, that's a great sign. You'll do fine, and we're here to support our fellow linguists. Feel ya. Goes for Harvard as well.

I'M NEVER LEAVING MY SMARTPHONE. EVER!11111

I've switched my computer clock to Cambridge, MA timezone, and I'm GMT+2. Talk about another level of lunacy.

The best of luck, guys! We can do this!

The schools should make an RPG in which the hero is our almighty WannabeGrad. There are 10 big levels, and you have to collect data, documents and LORs instead of coins like Super Mario. You fight one member of the admission committee after completing each level. And to stay alive, you have to refresh your status every 30 seconds (it's like checking inbox). If you fail to defeat the last boss - your POI - there's a consolation prize - you get another game (a new acceptance) for free via snail mail in March! I should do this, really. This is my new research proposal, could be good for Comp. Sci., Psychology etc.

I gave up explaining linguistics as well. Before: - Hey there, what are you applying for? - Linguistics, historical/comparative. - The same as your BA and MA? - Yeah. - So... is that a science or what? How many languages do you speak? You're going to be a translator, right? - :AAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH: After: - Hey there, what are you applying for? - Languages. - Which one? - All of them. - Cool. It's easier.

I'm jealous. It takes actually a lot of confidence and strength not to freak out in times like these.

I didn't get any rejections nor any acceptances. The waiting is killing me, so look on the bright side - at least you know and can move to plan B, whatever it is. However, I know it's not easy to handle it, but it's usually a lottery, so don't blame yourselves, please. Take care!

Kisses and hugs of reassurance to those who need one.

Wish you all good luck. Come on, Harvard & Yale, I've stalked your acceptances from the last year, it should have been done already.

We are the GradBorg. Refreshing is futile. You will be admitted.

I am, as I had written before, 24, but this application & waiting time took 10 years out of me, so i'm 14 now, thank you very much. This anxiousness really is like puberty all over again.
