Waiting would be easier if ....

I knew I was getting at least one interview.

 

[Therapist4Chnge]

I didn't have to wait a year if things don't pan out (for internship).

[Thrak]

... I at least knew what city I'd be living in starting in August.

 

[blindchaos]

...I knew that I would be accepted somewhere this cycle, even if it's anonymous (ie: 'you will be accepted at one of the schools you applied to' without specifying which school)

 

[JockNerd]

...I knew NOW instead of in three weeks whether I'm shortlisted for an awesome grant.

 

[73BARMYPgsp]

I was doing the other things I am supposed to be doing (while waiting) to make the time pass.

Yup. This is a good one. I can't seem to do anything at all, except check this forum and my email obssessively. I'm not the only one doing that, am I?

...I knew NOW instead of in three weeks whether I'm shortlisted for an awesome grant.

I had a dream last night that you got it. You were wearing a tophat and carrying a cane. Very classy.


Anyway to finish the sentence:

Waiting would be easier if... I knew I'd get to go back to my hometown for a summer practicum like I'm trying to do (playing the waiting game now, have one of my contacts in the city doing legwork for me which is amazing).

 

[73BARMYPgsp]

Really! I will elaborate so someone can help me. I have indeed hit a tough procrastination moment. This is how easy it is:

I have to do in the next 6 months:

2 Incompletes (independent studies--1 5 page paper and 1 10 page paper). They have to be done before I can leave on internship.
Work on my dissertation.
I swear that is ALL I have on my plate. Don't be jealous haters. 🙂

I am waiting for:
Match day (Of course). I am almost guarunteed an internship because I am HPSP so I will match.
And I am waiting for the AMEDD (Army Medical Department) board to promote me to CPT so I can go on internship.

Pretty friggin easy, but I just can't get into it. 6 months. I have plenty of money because my practicum is paid and the HPSP scholarship pays me a stipend. Anyone have any ideas?

Ya know....that little side thing.

...I knew I'd be getting in to one program (and the one program I get in to ISN'T the one I realized I didn't want to go to half way through my personal statement).

 

[islandgirl1]

gee, i thought this thread was about the risb or eau claire. im working too hard


Waiting would be easier if .... I wasn't getting emails every couple days-not saying i'm invited-but that some document is lost or missing.

 

[Thrak]

...I knew I'd be getting in to one program (and the one program I get in to ISN'T the one I realized I didn't want to go to half way through my personal statement).

Personal statements sometimes have a way of showing the truth. I reread my personal statement on one of the programs that rejected me thus far. When I got to the part where I should put down what attracts me to the program and a POI, I spent most of the time talking about why the *city* is a good place to do research, and how good it was that the program shared resources with the other area universities.

Yeah, that'll win friends on the admissions committee. 🙄

 

[akanesuha87]

...i was hiking in the himalayas far away from the drone of whizzing computers (not sending emails to me) and the bright screens of cellphones (not ringing for me).

still hopeful though.

 

[spillsomepaint]

I wasn't going to be out of the country in mid-march...I am having all my mail forwarded to my parents house for the almost two weeks I'm gone, as well as routing all my emails to my twin sister.

 

[layleh]

Waiting would be easier if ....

...I knew the schedule for when programs will extend interviews.

...George Washington University was more organized with their process.

 

[socialcog]

....if I had a pepperoni pizza and a beer.😀

 

[bookworm06]

waiting would be easier if....

people stopped saying to me "of course you will get in! You have _____ (insert seemingly impressive qualification here, which really does not mean too much in the scheme of clinical psychology applications).

I so second that. Its like come on already. I try to tell everyone how competitive this process is but no one seems to understand!!

 

[thewesternsky]

Waiting (and life!) would be easier if...

I could replicate the findings in this recent paper, because answering the follow-up question isn't much good without the replication. So much for presenting at a conference this spring. 🙁

 

[Lindz]

Waiting would be easier if......I had a good back-up plan. I graduated in '06, my RA job will be finished in June, it seems like it's the perfect time to start school, not continue on with interim activities.....
