Status Checker OCD?? Forum

[girlonfire]

status checker changed to decision mailed = now checking the mailbox 15 times a day

THIS IS THE CRUELEST THING I'VE EVER HEARD OF.



What school is this.

ps- if u tell me it's lewis and clark, I'll die.

Mine just did the same thing...USC. It's so mean.

That's just sadistic. LS's must know that we sit around pulling out hair out, waiting to hear anything from them after we apply. SO sick.
I just finished my noon status check, nothing's changed. I think i'm going to try and wait until friday to check them again...

Just sat down with a cup of coffee ready to do my morning round of status checking.

Story of my life. Lovely little morning routine...

So I'm assuming I'm not the only one who wakes up in the morning and does the Status Checker routine... Hell, I even check schools I've already gotten into just to see the "congratulations!!" and feel a bit better about my day... I'm thinking this is probably unhealthy, and maybe useless.

Does anyone else have status checker OCD? and is there a point to checking?
Every school I've heard back from has sent me an email when they came to a decision.

Has anyone ever learned of their acceptance/denial/waitlisting by the status checker alone??

Yup... heard from two of my three acceptances that way... Of course, if I wasn't quite so OCD about checking the status websites, I still would have gotten notification in the mail.

I check my statuses several times a day and each time I've found out through my email first, weird

Another day spent obsessively checking my email *sigh*
