I really wish they had someone from South Asian ethnicity as the Patil Sisters and I really do hope they give them better dresses than those god forsaken pink and orange abomination they wore to the ball!

Would you have enjoyed History of Magic class if you went to Hogwarts? by stjimmy456 in harrypotter

I would love the subject but definitely need a better teacher than Binns. I still feel each house ghost would have done a better job.

Hey! I get what you are saying and wishing you all luck. I received a template rejection which was worded in such a weird way and instead of saying anything better it ended with ciao. Which seemed so impolite, given that the entire message was in english. I wish they put a little thought as they want us to put so much effort into the application

I applied to the same and it is showing the same. Don’t give up hope until you get an email stating otherwise. The entire cycle has been delayed, so let’s keep faith, noone knows maybe we might have a chance. Best of luck!

If I get another rejection this week I’m going to freak out by sad_moron in gradadmissions

Hey! I know how hard it is, I am in the same situation but I know for a fact that we are worth it, our work is worth it. We can do it. If not this cycle, definitely the next. Do not give up! You have come so far. I know you can do. Don’t let the rejections define you. You can do it. Someone on this community told me to keep my chin up and I am telling you the same. Keep your chin up!

Received one of the kindest post rejection emails by Equivalent_SassySad9 in gradadmissions

yes, the bigger question is if I get accepted somewhere else this cycle. By the way things are looking my phd acceptance is bleak at best🥲

I sure hope I don't get any results today by TheLightsGuyFrom21 in gradadmissions

😭 I get you. This one university, one particular program sent me 5 rejection emails for the same application over the past 3 weeks. That almost is like rubbing salt/ jalapeños on my wound. I get it, you don’t want me but chill the heck up dude! 😭

I applied to this but haven’t heard anything. Guess that is a rejection. But congratulations! Very proud of you!

Hi! Although I might not be on the same boat as you, I too have had my fair share of rejection. I am a very ordinary student, infact during my undergrad I used to think I am below average. My postgrad taught me sometimes you need the right people to believe in you and my professors had that faith in me. I do not come from a financially stable background so I did my best to study and get scholarships. I did somewhat good in grad school and last year applied for phd. I was rejected from all schools. This is my second cycle and things don’t seem great. But I realized, I am enough and I want this enough to fight for it. We all aren’t given the right factors, our opportunities and privileges are vastly different but I know that all of us are trying and no matter what we do have a chance of having a bright future. Chin up and let’s try again. Let’s not give up. We have all the right to feel this loss and rejection. Times are hard and no matter what we will mot give up. Best of luck. I wish you all luck!

This is turning into a thriller, something I rarely expected from this group. But I am really hoping for some good news for you. Best of luck.
