And let the waiting begin

I turned in the rest of my PhD application today. I also made sure that all the elements outside of my responsibility were accounted for as well. I won't hear until sometime around March whether I got in or not. This process would be far less nerve racking if I applied to more programs. See, whereas most people worry about getting into their top school, they are least have a few runners up that they are bound to get into. I, on the other hand, only have one option right now and so everything banks on this application. Lots of people are sure I am going to get in, but I fear with the HUGE amount of applications we received it is anyone's game. So lets just say I am cautiously optimistic.
