It's a weird feeling to have worked so long and hard just to get accepted, and now that I finally have, I'm super nervous! What a weird rollercoaster of emotions--excited-->EXCITED--->oh, dear GOD, I hope I can cut it--->nervousness and anxiety!

Anyone else feel that way??
 
Yes... omg, totally... Am I good enough? Can I really handle it? Am I smart enough? Can I really go through another 4 years of this?!?! I thought it was supposed to get better after you get accepted, but I'm more stressed now than ever! 🙁
 
👍I'm concerned because I'll be moving 3,000 miles away and I've never had to live away from moms and pops!

I don't think that you guys should be at all concerned about being "good enough" or "smart enough" because the adcoms are great at their jobs and they tend to choose candidates who they know will succeed! you guys are going to do GREAT!
 
A lot of people are going to come here thinking this is a "are you nervous because you have not received an acceptance yet" thread.

Of course you can cut it, the schools obviously would not have chosen you people otherwise. Surely everyone remembers being grilled in their interviews about being able to handle a large load of classes. I was asked that in all three of my interviews.

Even though I haven't gotten accepted to a school yet (just had an interview last weekend in Missouri), I think the idea of having to live far away from family has hit me already!! Well, right now I go to school in San Diego and kind of miss my family even though they live in the OC. Ay caramba!!

Congratulations on getting into UT! I'm still waiting to hear back from them--I'm actually a reapplicant for UT.
I think part of what I'm worried about is not having the things I take for granted to help me out if I move to Abilene for Texas Tech...my move is absolutely trivial compared to a 3000 mile move across country, but I too have always lived in close proximity to my family, I have 2 dogs that I'll have to leave behind (they're my comfort zone!), I love Austin--lived here my whole life.....So many life changes all coming at once!

Knick--sorry about the thread ambiguity! I don't want to make anyone still waiting feel bad...the anxiety/stress I had...wouldn't wish that on ANYONE!
 
i'm only 40% nervous, 60% excited....i have lived alone by myself, without real family support for the last 5 years...so, I guess I already got used to the live-alone-away-from-family situation....classes are tough for sure, but I believe I'm trained for the toughest...I don't think any class in Pharmacy school can be as hard as the Physical Chemistry I'm going thru right now...lol...

what I'm most concerned is how I'm gonna pay off the loan? 😉 ....money has always been a big issue for me, to start off living alone...

anyway, I'm going to UT as well ! And, for all those who out there, accepted or not yet accepted, whatever happens , it happens for a reason....God always has a plan for His children! 🙂 Somewhere, somehow, we are all blessed...

No offense, but "God has a plan for us all" is a lame phrase tossed at people who
don't get what they want/need/deserve in order to keep them subdued.

Ok, I know that you are upset/bitter/whatever, but please stop trying to rain on everyone else's parade. If the poster believes that God has a plan for us all, then who are you to tell that person that that opinion is lame??

I'm not trying to start anything, but you need to chill a bit.

Oh yeah, I definitely feel this way. My sheer anxiety hit me the day after I got accepted and I had nightmares that week due to worrying too much. 😛 I think once I move in, some 500 miles away from home, it'll hit me even worse. I knew this day would come and I'm excited to go, but I know the next few months will pass by too quickly to enjoy home enough before I make the move. 😛

Why the double standard? They expressed their view and I expressed mine.

Besides the poster got into his top choice; of course he'll say the plan bit. The winners have said that to the losers throughout history.

Allow me to demonstrate:

People in sub-Saharan Africa are extremely poor, famished, and are likely to die of AIDS by age 35.

Us, living in luxury: "God has a plan for us all. For sub-Saharan Africans, it just happens to be dying from AIDS or famine by age 35. These people suffer for a reason."
 
I hate being involved in argument over this. It's just pointless since I have found we both differ in beliefs. At the same time I bitter for your failure at UT, I think with this kind of attitude, it will get you no where, honestly! A 99 PCAT, a 4.0 GPA, and a whole bunch of extra stuff, etc....I don't give a damn....now, I must admit that the UT adcom people were so right not to select an applicant like this, because who knows in the future, he, as a Pharmacist, might end up killing patients, yet still blabbin' that he's not deserved to be in jail....just because he can't be wrong at all...

What a bunch of BS. If anyone kills someone it will be you - your poor grasp of English (your writing tells me that it is poor) is likely to cause an error.

And who are you to be upset with what I say? Perhaps it was God's plan for me to say it. Everything happens for a reason, after all.

Yep, that's what I thought. I have to wait two more weeks for a decision from SIUE, my #1 and only school. Sigh....

Same here! I thought it would be for those of us waiting on acceptances.
 
Did anyone else notice the "God has a plan" comment was made by "Evildarklord". hehe

I'm not nervous about the course load or moving, I'm nervous because Auburn waits till the very last minute to send you info on immunizations, CPR, insurance, and pretty much everything you need. They sent me an acceptance letter, I sent them a deposit, 5 months later they haven't sent me anything.
