<p>Please come here to release a scream of anticipation and frustration and impatience and everything you are feeling because of grad apps. </p>
<p>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIHAVESOMUCHWORKINEEDTOBEDOINGBUTINSTEADIAMSTUCKONTHISFORUMAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGHGHGHGHGHHGHGHG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>Isn’t it even more stressful than undergrad was?</p>
<p>yeah, especially when you realize that schools have stopped sending out interview requests. DAMN YOU MIT! DAMN YOOUUUUUUU! /shakes fist menacingly in the air before falling to the ground in pose of anguish. </p>
<p>alternatively, i can take the jerry springer approach and shout “yall don’ know me! yall don’ know me!” until they are frightened into submission.</p>
<p>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! 
</p>
<p>Really, I have no more comments.</p>
<p>haha YA’LL DON’T KNOW ME!!!</p>
<p>i like that.</p>
<p>i would like to dedicate my screaming to rockefeller for making me wait and watch other people get accepted. JUST SEND ME A REJECTION so i can at least sleep!!!^#<em>&@!^</em>#^@!<em>&#^@!</em>&#%^&@#%&<em>#@^</em>&(&!!!</p>
<p>Haha, UCSD is doing the same thing to me… Just send the reject so I can get on with my life.</p>
<p>Aaaaahhhhhadlkfjaidnahg;lkjf;laksdjflaskdjkkkkksdfasdfas…kikhp!</p>

<p>AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I just want this to be over and have grad school start so I can have something interesting to do and find friends. I’m so bored and lonely. Ugh.</p>
<p>GAHHH… it’s so frustrating to check my email every 15 minutes, and have it be empty every time. I’m hoping the story will be different a week from today…but today is GAHHH</p>
<p>to idundidit:
same for me…my blood pressure rises when I get an email, rises even high when I find it is just an advertisement…</p>
<p>whoa, what programs and schools are you guys talking about? interview requests?</p>
<p>Haha, some programs, including biology/biomedical science PhD programs, will interview an applicant before making an admissions decision. Notably excluded from this torture are engineers and sometimes science (chem, physics) programs, among others.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if foreign languages tend to interview vs. not interview? I would bet they really want to evaluate people on as personal a level as possible…</p>
<p>Also, for all of you who can’t help yourselves, I HIGHLY recommend thegradcafe.com - not only the results page, but the forum. It’s fantastic! You will be able to waste hours.</p>
<p>you bring up a good point ecnerwalk, why can’t biomedical phd programs just ACCEPT people??? (except for harvard bbs and rockefeller of course, who i have yet to hear from…) WHY???</p>
<p>i know it’s for the best to find the best fit but #&<em>(@#&@#&</em>(@#&<em>(@$^</em>^<em>(#^@!</em>(#&^ i just want to KNOW where i’ll be living this time next year!!! HWY#<em>!(@(!^#&&@&@&@&</em>()&@&@*()</p>
<p>i’ll have to check out thegradcafe’s forum, lylek!</p>
<p>I hate knowing that someone else got accepted and i didnt get any kind of letter. At least give me a reject so i can have peace of mind and go on with my life!</p>
<p>when people grant you an interview request without accepting you, can you assume that you’re accepted?</p>
<p>I always go to thegradcafe.com because then you know if school X has started rolling out admissions. </p>
<p>I think the Math PhD admissions decisions should start being sent out in the next 2 or 3 weeks, so I just hope I can get one acceptance right out of the gate so I don’t wait around like a junkie until late March.</p>
<p>ecnerwalc3321: No, you can’t, but there’s a pretty good chance you’ll be accepted. The number varies from program to program, but it’s around 50-80% for most, I think.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Not always true. I had to interview in order to be admitted here at Caltech in engineering.</p>
<p>I remember how UC Berkeley didn’t send me a response to my application until the end of April, about a month and a half after I had already heard from everyone else. I thought they had lost my application. :(</p>
