One day, while thinking about an essay or while drafting one, I start feeling very strongly about my candidacy. It feels as if Wharton and Stanford will have a very hard time dinging me. But the next day, while thinking about the same essay and about my candidacy, I start feeling that even Emory will give me a straight ding (No offense meant for Emory - honest!!).
So, are (were) you guys also as confused as me about your candidacy?
Hah! You think its bad now???
Just wait until you hit submit and then end up waiting to hear back. Especially if its rolling admissions like Kellogg and EVERY SINGLE DAY for like a month, EVERY email, EVERY phone call and EVERY blackberry buzz your heart stops for a split second "Is that them? Could it be them?"
Or, if you were fortunate enough not to apply to a school that has rolling admissions... then you have the same to look forward to - but at least its condensed to the one or two days decisions come out... and you do absolutely nothing at work but hit refresh all day long on the threads waiting for your phone to ring - and if it does, and it just happens to be a friend - god help them for having called you that day (I had a friend with an 847 number call me on the day Kellogg started releasing admits. What a punk).... and then you get all super paranoid when the clock hits 5pm because you feel like that must be it, but of course they are still making calls....
You guys have so much to look forward to.
