I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE
I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE
This thread is for people to vent their frustration as our futures are determined by unknown people hundreds of miles away. Myself, I'm sick of waiting. I was accepted to one of my backups (Oregon) and that's only made me want to here from the others! Obviously being accepted by a backup is not that exciting, by definition.
I'm freaking out..................I want to know NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW!
On the plus side, I realized since I at least got in somewhere, I'll never have to take a stupid ETS test again. No matter what happens to me in physics, I vow never go to law school just because of the fact that I would have to take the LSAT.
Feel free to rant here.

yes, fermiboy, you are correct, we will never have to sit for the ETS std test again. I also want the decision now NOW NOW NOW........... ( this goes to infinity and hence does not converge)
Although I have heard from two back ups already, as you said, they are by "definition" NOT an excitement.
How can grad school committees not realize that they were also in the same boat as we are, once upon a time ? I hope they do, but it is so hard to wait.

Grae313, your post is making little difficult for us to read all other posts( cuz we have to scroll all the way down to the right). Can you please break that in two lines?
I have not heard from any school other than the backups myself and it is So FREAKING ANNOYING.
RG heard from all the places that I applied to in ONE DAY in a row. Why can not that happen to us also ? ( I do not mind getting four rejections in a row on the same day either. I just want the decision. Hopefully, there will be one good school that will let me in

Yeah, I am basically going insane. If I don't snap out of it, I will end up failing all my classes this semester. And I need some of them to graduate. I can't even do things that are fun during this unproductive period. I think my muscles and my brain have atrophied. Things are looking pretty bleak.
Why do I go to sleep at night? Because no grad school is going to send me an admissions notification in the middle of the night, and I can check the next morning (only half joking).
Anyone else notice the UCSB online application is down?
Also, as obsessed as I am, let me just say that apparently unlike some of you guys, even though I've only gotten into my "safety" school so far, it is still a place I would be happy to go. I wouldn't relegate it to strictly "backup" and if I don't hear back from 3 more schools I'll probably be flying there in a month to check it out (on their dime, of course). It's not that bad if you've gotten in somewhere.

Regarding the title of this thread, I'm really getting fed up dealing with graduate schools. Even though I have been accepted to Madison, they are dicking me around on funding. IF you get an RA position anywhere on campus you get a tuition waiver, but if not they expect you to pay tuition. If it came down to it I think I'd rather NOT go to graduate school if I have to pay tuition. There is no possible way I could support myself while going to school and simultaneously paying tuition. They tell me that they have a good track record of finding students funding, but the numbers just don't add up. I'm certainly not going to accept their offer if they can't come up with some cash to back it up.[/i][/b]

Why is everyone so upset? I'm feeling happy.

Yes RG, thanks for reminding me that I'm fucked
My top choice and my safety have already sent acceptances.... looks like I'm joining the task force. I think if all of us who don't succeed in this silly admissions game put our minds together, we could create something really amazing that'll actually matter...

I think somebody posted a VERY LONG sentence and now it is getting difficult
to read sentences. I could not figure out who that was! I think it is good if we
break sentences so that we do not have to scroll all the way to the right or left
and scratch our head everytime even for doing simple things like reading posts on this forum!

My first post -- what a brilliant idea to have venting space! All my schools had post-Dec. 28 deadlines so I'm gonna have to wait at least one more full week before anything shows up.
How's this for pathetic: I've lived in the same apartment for TWO YEARS, and I only memorized my mailbox code LAST WEEK because I live by the mailbox now, waiting for decisions to arrive... but they haven't... and they should really hurry up...
