School: Georgetown, Michigan SOE, Minnesota CEHD
Area: Human Development and Policy (Georgetown), Child Development (Minnesota), Education and Psych (Mich SOE)
Rationalization: Generic email about careful reviews and too many applicants.
Comment: As an international student, I'm not sure how much of a shot I have. I have a relatively high GRE score and a really strong academic record. Honestly not sure what they are looking for. Pretty upset about Minnesota since I had a super interested POI who had asked to review her paper and what not. Georgetown was a really strong research fit. Not very surprised about Michigan.
Coping tactics: Focusing on my new job which involves talking to lots of tiny humans, fighting with my SO, making travel plans, and generally trying to look for other opportunities I might be interested in. Plus, waiting patiently for more rejections to come my way.
