jamierah Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Everybody just hang in there and try to keep the anxiety down. As much as we want to find a pattern in the announcements they are dealing with all of the same 2020 chaos as the rest of us and why wouldn't the announcement schedule be all over the place this year. If you've already interviewed, there is nothing you can do but impatiently wait but do try and stay occupied with something instead of obsessing over the process. If you haven't interviewed yet just hang tight they will get to you. Spend some time practicing your interview skills those are something that will always be useful. I don't know that it's any better after you get accepted cause now I get to worry about being able make school, work, and family all fit. Before it was all theoretical but now I have to make it a reality and my wife likes having heat in the house and my kids like to eat. There is always something to worry about no matter what stage of the process you're in. I've spent a lot of years worrying about a lot of things but it's never helped. The thing that has helped is determining that I will make it through and working to improve myself so I have better odds of being successful. If not this time then the next time. TL:DR I'm tired and philosophical. Worrying isn't productive. Focus on the end goal. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biopsyd Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Hi everyone, I received an application under review email today. For the supplemental fee, anyone know if I am supposed to just send it or do I have to wait for them to send an email about the fee? I know other programs usually send you an email with instructions or link to pay the fee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you need to mail it either in cashier’s check or money order. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAgoalgetter Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Just a little piece of advice no one asked for, but I will share. On the day I was accepted, many got calls in the morning. I did not. I crumbled. I was devastated and cried for hours. Emailed my counselor, and I skipped out on a meeting I had planned on Zoom for something. I was thinking about what this meant for me and my kids and my future and how everything was about to shift and I had to re-group (yes, my mind was a day full of run-on sentences). I spent all day reading this forum and freaking out. Then in the evening, the forum picked up again and still no call for me. As soon as I began to feel proud of myself and think about how I will make this "rejection" a positive in my life and will find a new path and will make it no matter what is when I felt better. I smiled! I was proud of myself and getting it this far. I decided it was 6 pm on the west coast and 9 pm on the east coast, so it was time for me to call it a night and be happy and go for a walk. What would be would be. As soon as I turned off my computer and set my phone aside....my phone rang!!! I couldn't believe it. I was Accepted! I learned a lesson that day. The forum is fantastic, and everyone is so supportive, and it is nice to get information and comfort. On the flip side, it becomes an obsession and may be toxic. I had a horrible mental health day because I kept comparing my journey to others. Again, no one asked for this story, but I will leave it here. Interpret it as you will, and maybe it will make you revisit your actions during the day. Don't let the forum decide how the rest of your day will be like. YOU have the power to determine how you feel and proceed. Rooting for you all and hope to meet many of you next year! 17 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crschr Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 We've all got this! We have a weekend to relax, enjoy family, or take care of business to keep our minds healthy and active. Hopefully, we all hear the news we desire next week! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olipajoli Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 I have finished two books in the past couple days. Is stress reading a thing? It has been nice to not think about anything for the weekend, like @Crschr said. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went and hit golf balls yesterday to get in some fresh air and have been reading in all my down time. Only time will tell what is ahead of us but right now other worlds is good enough for me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOU have the power to determine how you feel and proceed. Rooting for you all and hope to meet many of you next year! This was 100% me on Thursday too. Normally I’d be scrubbed in a case but I was training someone who doesn’t need any help so I had the whole morning to be on my phone and see that people were accepted and to obsess over it and feel like I was out of the running. I just knew I hadn’t made it and was feeling all those feels. I’ll be fair and say there’s a lot going on in my life right now: I work in a covid hospital in Texas, we don’t know what schooling is going to look like for my daughter this fall, and my house was all torn up for new floors at that time...on top of waiting for Sphinx call from the one super hard to get into PA program I applied to. I had a horrible mental health day. And after dinner when I was trying to take my deep breaths and regroup with what this meant for my next year to get ready and try again...I got the call. I love this forum but also knowing to step away from it is a good thing too I hope everyone has such a wonderful weekend and can disconnect from this process for a moment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crschr Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 You all are doing great! Here's to the weekend we had of learning, loving, and relaxing (or working and serving or whatever else anyone did). I hope you have each enjoyed the deep breathing, soul reading, and sport living. My oldest niece graduated this weekend. Talk about a unique experience. Y'all have a great night's rest! We've got this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joemonkey Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Hi, I just received an offer to participate in an academic and personal interview via zoom. The personal interviews appear available to schedule. However, there are no times available for academic interviews. Could someone provide me with some insight regarding this situation? Do personal interviews have to be conducted before academic interviews happen? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
