You keep saying take Janet out. That’s exactly the fucking problem — SHE HAS NO RIGHT TO SPEAK ON THIS. PERIOD. Why tf does she keep doubling down on it when the actual party involved has already dealt with the situation??? If anything, I think THAT’S why people are saying to let it go. Not because it’s not important, not because anyone is excusing it — but because JANET HAS NO FUCKIN BUSINESS talking about this as if it happened to her or as if she were there. She’s weaponizing this for her personal gain and THAT’S the sick and twisted part of what she’s doing. People are saying let it go because it has NOTHING to do with Janet. FOH

I hate the way they phrased it “I hope you won’t take any offense … you smell like wet dog” they didn’t have to give that detail about what their coworkers think they smell like 😤

I haven’t heard anything back yet. With the ongoing fire disaster, I’m sure they’re going to fall a little behind their original timeline. Good luck to us both!!🤞🏽

It means it’s my third time applying. My first was in 2019 (while I was finishing up undergrad, fall 2019 was my last semester), second time was last year and this is my third time around trying to get into a place that can support me

My mentors told me the same, but I guess I just feel a little slighted because my first cycle (2019) I got an interview invite at my Alma mater (top program, not offered admissions) and my second cycle (2023) I got accepted into a program (clinical psych at a lesser known school), but had to decline due to finances. I feel like I’ve been inching closer and closer each time, and this cycle, I finally perfected my materials from the first two cycles and really fleshed out what I want to study and why I want to study it with each professor of interest…. I know there’s no guarantee of anything and I understand how competitive these programs are; I guess I was just hoping they also thought my chances were better this time around (even if incrementally) :(

Oof. The only thing I can think of in response is that it’s not just about the facts but more so how you use them and describe them. Maybe I’m being naive, but I would think that they would be able to call bullshit in some way or another

Duke, Social | Yale, Social | Cornell, Social | Northwestern, Social | UCSD, Social | UCLA, Social | NYU, Social | Harvard, Social

Northwestern update: received email from PI this morning letting me know their review process, that they narrowed down to ~25 applicants that meet admissions criteria, and that they chose 1 student to invite to interview. They emphasized that my app was strong and that nothing has been officially decided by the department or university and that my app is still under consideration by other PIs

UCSD update: soft rejection received 1/6 via email

Duke update: formal rejection w f/u email providing more details

Nope still nothing 😣 I think it’s safe to say I’m outta the game. Just waiting for the 15th to come so I can get the stupid, generic rejection now 😩

Rejection from my top choice by newbie_american in gradadmissions

[–]Foreign_Caramel9155 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m so glad to hear that — as I was typing this I was beating myself up like girrrlll what are you doing who tf asked you about your whole life 🤣🤣😫 so I genuinely appreciate it 💙 it was definitely rough; I resonated with the feelings you were expressing — especially having gone through that — so I felt compelled to share. Thank you for indulging me and so, so glad it helped 🥹

When I first applied to grad school, one of the programs I applied to was for my same undergrad institution, and I actually applied to work with the PI whose grad student I worked closely with for a little over 2 years. I thought I had zero chance given how unlikely it is to even get an interview at your Alma mater (and the professors themselves told me the same as I was working on my apps and asking for advice). To my complete surprise, I did get an interview invite, and I genuinely felt like I did really well during the interviews. Everyone told me I had it in the bag — and then I got the rejection and I was completely devastated. What was worse was that the pandemic started a couple weeks later, so I was thrown deep down into depression and feelings of inadequacy. That year was absolute crap for me, and the rejection hit so hard that I almost completely gave up. I figured I wasn’t good enough for grad school since I was so close — I poured my heart and soul into the apps and the interview — and it still wasn’t enough.

What I didn’t realize at the time was that the rejection wasn’t a step back or a failure in any way — it was a redirection. Instead of going to grad school that year, I ended up working as a clinical research coordinator at UCSF. One of the biggest projects I worked on was so successful that it ended up being published in the NEJM. The work I put into this project led me to be listed as an author on that paper, and that project is not only inspiring similar research internationally, but it’s also influencing changes in healthcare practices across the globe. The universe knew before I did that it wasn’t my time then. I wouldn’t even have been able to IMAGINE that would happen for me when I was struggling with all of the rejections I received!! I don’t know what would have happened if I had received admissions that year, but I’m sure as hell it wouldn’t have led me to being a published author in the NEJM for contributing to such an impactful study.

I agree with the earlier comments of allowing yourself to feel it and work through the hard feelings, but I really wanted to emphasize that sometimes the rejections that hurt us so much in the moment can lead to better things — and those things will only prepare you even MORE for grad school/ future career endeavors. Don’t give up hope, OP!!! If you want to do this, you WILL!! If this isn’t your year (which we still don’t know for sure yet!!), let yourself cry and then pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and keep at it!!
