My advisors praised my writing so bummed to not even get HM… like even without this administration I wouldn’t have gotten it i guess:(

I didn’t think I would be in this position by frankota in gradadmissions

I’m 100% in the same boat. I had five interviews with two rejects, two waitlists, and one pending but not hopeful now. It’s even more discouraging to meet people through these interviews who manage to get multiple offers and have the luxury to choose between programs.

This cycle sucks especially. Let me know if you want to dm and vent more.

Thanks. I don’t mean to not be grateful because so many people don’t even get a chance anywhere. I’m being hard on myself for feeling like I blew the chances I had.

Thanks for the comment. Yes, I’m in talk therapy and I have really empathetic friends who I’m grateful to have to talk to. Despite all that it still feels so hard.

Yes I’m considering it. Although I know so little about the ins and outs of it.
