I don't have any specific questions. I'm just really nervous about my grades, stressed about the applications and dreading the possible rejection letters.
Is anyone else freaking out as well?

Rejections are fun. I got them last year.
I'm re-applying, and hoping to not have to deal with them again.

Not the same, but similar: I'm going to be starting to look for a real job/career shortly... stressful as well!

I applied last year and know exactly what you mean...it's a bit of an emotional rollercoaster, one second I felt confident and another I felt like it was hopeless, and it just flipflopped back and forth until I heard back from the university.
What program are you applying to? (And where?)
