I find it difficult to withdraw, even from schools I dont plan on/think about attending at all bc it makes everything too real

[schocolate]

I really want to start a c/o 2019 destinations thread but following Gray's work of art last year is the most daunting thing ever

Just bumping this bc I totally think you should do it, we'll all support you

I am still planning on it; was traveling all weekend but it's on the to-do list for this week

aaah, i'm super excited!

+1!

hi wiggin what's up

[barley]

I'm withdrawing from all my schools this feels so weird and... final!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't possibly express how much I long for this feeling. Congrats on a great outcome!

Thanks!! I can't even imagine how tough your decision process must be right now.... Good thing they are all great options!

Withdrawing feels really satisfying to me actually, but some schools are so slow with financial aid that I can't in good conscience yet ):

I generally find it satisfying. There are certain schools I have a soft spot for though, and I feel a little guilty about withdrawing from them. But glad that it opens up spots and money for people still waiting!!

Anybody doing the whole hide-yer-plans from the boss thing? My boss still doesn't know I'm going to law school. I told him I needed some sick time off to attend ASW.

Can't tell if he's oblivious, I'm that smooth, or we're all just not talking about it. Somehow I hid the LSAT studying/frantically writing apps/freaking out in my office over acceptances from him.

I was going to try and hide my plans, but the principal at one of the schools I teach at offered me a permanent position next year teaching US History, Government, and Economics. I had to turn her down, which sucks because honestly I'd love to do that for a few years but since I'm a splitter it's not a great idea to wait given that applications are back on the rise.

Both the Canadian schools i got accepted to emailed me in the last week asking if i was going to withdraw because it was past the deadline. I said yes and had a mini-freakout "what if i hate america" "what if i miss tim hortons". Withdrawing is so final.

Wait do we really? I'm not even sure exactly what a Tim Horton's is, just that they comprise 70% of the land mass of Canada. Right?

My manager and team have known about law school for like a year and a half and they're all excited for me, but I'm slowly telling the professors I work with that I'm leaving in under four months now...and they are not all taking it as well. The econ professor I was meeting with yesterday afternoon looked so sad I wanted to hug her and apologize for leaving. I think she's just new and overwhelmed, but I felt like a terrible person abandoning a puppy or something.

People tend to jump down my throat every time I talk about this, but I've somehow managed to keep law school a secret at work, while not at all keeping it a secret from friends and family. A colleague saw that my house is listed for sale, and I think I responded awkwardly, but other than that, no one seems to suspect anything.

In my defense, I think it's 50-50 whether I'll be asked to leave immediately whenever I make the news official, and I could use the money from working through the summer. I'm really not sure when or how to tell my boss, but it's definitely been making me feel guilty.

I know exactly what you mean, but the company is not your friend. If they haven't given you reason to believe they wouldn't immediately escort you out the door if you're honest, then your relationship is transactional and you don't have to feel guilty.

I'm in a similar situation. I'm pretty sure I'd be asked to leave immediately if I let my boss know at my main job. I definitely feel guilty too, but need the money.

I'm in the same boat where it's not clear how they would feel if they knew I was definitely leaving.
I don't feel remotely guilty about it though, but there are aspects unique to my situation that mitigate any guilt.

Closer to 60% the last 40% is split between Hockey rinks and Moose habitats

Yeah, same situation here... Especially since I started this job in January, so I'm sure when I tell my manager I've been accepted to law school she'll be able to do the math and realize that I've known I was leaving since before I started...

You have no obligation to give them notice; even 2 weeks is generally just considered a courtesy. You don't owe them anything.

^^^Very true. Should've been clear on that - just saying that from a moral standpoint, they shouldn't feel bad.

[lemonparty]

I've been taking soooo many bathroom/coffee/lunch breaks to avoid working that I feel like Ilana from Broad City (minus sleeping in the bathroom and wearing doggie sweatshirts)

[WinterComing]

Yeah, I don't have a contract, and I work in an at-will state, so I'm not under any obligation. I don't know, it just feels a little like I'm leading a double life or something.

Anyway, thanks for the encouragement, everyone. It's nice to know I'm not alone in this awkward position.
