I can't focus either. I'm so anxious to know whether I will land an interview invite.
(It's almost more nerve-wracking than waiting for my CFA exam results or GMAT scores).
I have spent 9 months of my life in this state so far (especially after Wharton waitlisted me 3 times before they closed off the class this summer, and I am about to spend 3 more. This process will redefine your levels of patience in many ways and I think I matured to some extend over that period of time. My tips for the wait - focus on your work, your R2 applications, and anything else that will take your mind off if waiting. Pretend you are never getting an answer and just ignore your pending applications until a pleasant surprise pops up in your mailbox. One thing you can do if you are not working on R2 - practice your interviewing skills, find a camera, pick the top questions asked and record yourself.
We have set up a GMATClub interview groups system where 2 to 5 club members can practice interviewing each other via Skype:
gmatclub-interview-groups-85902.html#p643929 . Invite several buddies and practice together (the group takes turns to ask questions while one person answers for 15- 30 minutes. The interviewers jot notes and provide feedback in the end). You get to see both sides of the interviewing process, catch your flaws, and learn from others.
Either way, just relax - you'll never get this time of your life back, so use it productively (and steer clear of the Business Week forums - they could make you a nervous wreck ).
