Waiting, and waiting...and more waiting

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Here I come to vent. I have one invite and 2 other schools on the list whose dates have passed and I'm pretty sure have rejected me. I have heard nothing from 9 schools. NINE. Seriously? Ugh.

Try waiting on 15 schools :/ I heard from 2 of the 17 I applied to and thankfully got interviews there but COME ON, what's up with the other 15?? haha...
 
This is like every bad relationship with an emotionally distant partner I've ever had.


LOL . . .That is exactly it!!! . . . I just wish these programs wouldn't leave applicants hanging. Accept us, put us on waitlists (and let us know), or reject us promptly. Please!!! . . . For a field that is so concerned with humanity, this process doesn't seem all that humane.

Haha....I think that is the first thing I have read on here that actually made me smile. You're right, this is not humane. They should have to pass application procedures through an IRB before they install them!

What's frustrating (to me) is that it doesn't have to be like this. They *could* publish schedules, or send out update emails - but they don't.

OK, that's not the only thing frustrating to me.
 
all the waiting finally paid off.. just got a phone call for my first interview!! can i get a what what?!?!


heres hoping things start turning around..

Congrats! What program?
