Applications Received!
Eeks!! Double email today. Both School A and School C have received my applications and they are officially "under review". My tummy is doing super flip-flops! So exciting, but even more nerve-wracking knowing that they are looking at my stuff!!!

I is knot stoopid!
Can I just tell you how stupid the GRE makes me feel? I took it THREE times and only bumped my score from a 1040 to a 1090. Come on, now! I was literally in tears (and probably cried for about 3 hours) after I finished the last one... I tried so hard and studied as best as I could. I couldn't get a 500 on the verbal and all the schools say that they want a 1000 minimum (500 in each). I have no idea if they will just throw my application out if I don't meet the minimum requirements... I definitely could see that they would because they get so many applications, they have to begin weeding them out somehow. I just feel so sick that I may not even be able to get a chance to go to school because of a stupid verbal score.
I already emailed School B and asked them if they look at all the other aspects and they said that they do, but still I would've much rather have been over the 500 and not have to worry about getting eliminated simply by a number (without them looking at anything else). School A and School C are reviewing my stuff, so hopefully since they are already reviewing it (and the deadlines aren't until Dec 15 or March something) they are looking at every part of it. I just have to say a prayer that if this is meant to happen, it will happen. I have worked so hard and hopefully they will see that through my GPA (and my personal statement and LOR!)
But, right now, I would be lying if I didn't say I felt completely hopeless. I already came up with a Plan B!

In the waiting line...
The anticipation is killing me! Today is School B's early decision interview. I am just dying to hear from them. I just went to their open house this past weekend and absolutely LOVED IT. The school was gorgeous, the faculty were so kind and the students all seemed really happy. In fact, after visiting, I think I'm definitely more interested in School B than School A.
School A's open house is coming up on November 13th (which also happens to be School B's interview day) so I may or may not get to go. But, I just got such a great "gut feeling" about School B, and a lot of people said negative things about School A, so that was sort of a bummer.
The PT building is new and it is off the main campus, but there is a huge parking lot (a big downfall of my undergrad university) and a shuttle that will take you from the PT building to main campus and back during the day. They didn't really seem to have too many options research wise, but I'm not letting that stop me from the overall awesome feeling I got from there. I just was blown away by how "homey" it all felt. I'll admit that I'm more sensitive and I definitely like to be treated like a person and feel like I am a part of something, rather than only be a number. Plus, my parents got to go with me and they loved it too! :)
