<p>Except for one school, all my applications are submitted. Now I have to spend agonizing 3 months waiting for the decision. What do people do after submitting applications? I already feel like a major mental breakdown is just around the corner..</p>
<p>To be honest, I don't have high hopes for any of the schools I applied - so I thought maybe looking for job would be a good idea. When should I start such process?</p>
<p>Well it depends on your major. I'm in civil engineering and people have already interviewed for jobs in my field (who are graduating in the spring)</p>
<p>and I feel the same as you....i applied to about 6 reach schools and 2 matching schools...I really only want to go the reach schools which most likely won't happen. I've just given up about freaking out about the wait.</p>
<p>Teachers in my field are so laid back they probably won't start looking at them until Feb.</p>
<p>Are you structual engineering? I know some have started to look at applications already as I've gotten a few albeit informal decision via contacts with my research advisor.</p>
