I won't name schools or anything, but this one school that keeps sending emails to the entire applicant pool about how they will be emailing us about interview invitations and rejections in the near future is really annoying.
Three years ago, rejection and interview invitation emails went out the last week of November.
Nov 29th: I see email from said school while waiting to see a doctor, I decide to open it to just get it over with, because it could either be great news or crush my heart. All the e-mail was about to tell us that we will receive in e-mail in the next two weeks with regards to our status, ie interview or rejection. My heart rate when back to normal, but then come Dec 2nd, I start obsessively checking my email.
Last year, on the first Thursday of December, rejection emails went out. So...
Dec 5th: I receive an e-mail from said school, and I was devastated because I was 99% certain that it was a rejection email. I open said email, "This is an e-mail to all applicants. Due to the higher number of applicants this year, we will not be notifying you of your application status until next week. Enjoy the weekend." Enjoy the weekend my arse!
Now I'm just angry. This is the second e-mail where I thought that I had been rejected. Now next week I know for sure the e-mail is coming. I hate knowing dates of things because then I start obsessively checking, I would rather it be a surprise. I also hate said school right now for their stupid e-mailing. They need to just not. This also happens to be the only school I care about, the school that I have wanted to go to since I was in elementary school. For some reason not getting an interview anywhere else in the world doesn't bother me as much as not getting one at this particular school. I know I will be pretty upset if I don't get an interview.
Grrr, these two weeks are just awful.
