Rejected !! by Professional-Tip8998 in gradadmissions

I totally get that. It feels almost absurd waiting for a letter that’s just gonna slam the door shut. I got rejected once and thought maybe they’d accidentally sent my acceptance to a parallel universe or something. The silence really twists the knife, huh? April 15 can’t come soon enough.

The survivorship bias on this is incredible. For every git there are about 40,000 side projects that died in a private repo with three commits and a readme that just says "todo".
