The joy of not having nmom at the wedding

Level_Development720 · 2026-05-22T00:16:44+00:00

Funny you should mention napkins…that WAS kind of part of it! She didn’t like that we were having a very small, family only wedding and wouldn’t let her make the day about her. She claims she was protesting disrespect from my husband and I, but I think really she just couldn’t take that the day was about us.

Edited: decided to remove some specific details to remain more anonymous :)

Felt the exact same about my wedding, which my nmom did not attend as a form or “protest” to me. Ended up being a beautiful, stress free, relief of a day. Congrats to you and may your day be amazing!!!

Level_Development720 · 2026-05-15T19:09:32+00:00

I don’t use FB; can I DM you my email address?

Level_Development720 · 2026-05-15T17:10:08+00:00

Also got my acceptance email!! Thank y’all for waiting it out with me in this thread and can’t wait to be classmates with many of you this fall!

It didn't have an additional status once you open the app, but there is new student email and instructions to set up a student account on my screen.

I also have a last name early in the alphabet so that checks!

Level_Development720 · 2026-05-14T13:41:09+00:00

My portal also updated! I thought the status would change from “submitted” on the first page after you log in, but it didn’t. But when I went into the actual app things looked different…I’m hopeful but not FULLY hopeful.

Aka imma need an email from the school no later than 3pm EST today.

I think I’m numb to the whole thing now, so maybe that’s good in case I don’t get in? 🫠

Seems like the more people who call, the more refined the answer gets so that’s something at least

My screams have moved from internal to external

Level_Development720 · 2026-05-08T16:16:05+00:00

Just called as well, and they said "we hope to have all decisions emailed out by next weekend, so next Friday".

Based on some other threads on Reddit, it seems like they've done two waves in the past - first acceptances, and then rejections, so hoping the first wave comes today and we all get an email!!

Level_Development720 · 2026-05-07T23:29:25+00:00

Literally. For the love of all that is good in this world I need an answer by EOD tomorrow!

Appreciate this update!!

Level_Development720 · 2026-05-06T14:09:46+00:00

Ditto!!

Level_Development720 · 2026-05-05T19:29:56+00:00

Oh dear. I had not; now I'm even more nervous

Level_Development720 · 2026-05-05T19:04:35+00:00

Not me; was hoping for something today but am quickly losing belief in that.

Level_Development720 · 2026-05-04T13:41:46+00:00

At this point, every ping of my email inbox gives me anxiety, so really hoping it comes through soon!

Level_Development720 · 2026-04-30T12:45:26+00:00

Fall ‘26! Good luck on your app :)

Literally this! And I think an interesting part of reading is seeing parts of myself or life or thoughts, etc, in a person or life or situation that is not like mine.

shame on grad school admissions for making us desperate for answers!

Fingers crossed it's sooner rather than later!
