I am a bit in the dark myself, and while the thought of applying again makes me cringe I think I may need to. I read an article saying that one of the best things to do if you get rejected is to contact the schools (after the application madness dies down) and ask how you could strengthen your application. As for whether or not you should apply to the schools that rejected you, if they are still a good fit for your research interests I absolutely would. On the bright (?) side, every rejection makes me a little more numb for the next, and there is the added bonus of concocting some excellent cocktails. Good luck!

@haltheincandescent guess I can cross that one off the list too! Congrats to those of you who got invitations!

Thank you @genderboi and @haltheincandescent ! It is so difficult to decide which schools merit repeating "no news is good news" to myself. @haltheincandescent see you there!

Hi all, I will preface this by saying that playing the waiting game is perhaps more painstaking than the applications themselves. Especially because I am starting to get worried that I have not heard back from any of my top choice schools. I feel like there is a lot of conflicting information on the results search of when applicants are notified along with whether or not the program conducts an interview. If I have not heard from Columbia, UChicago, and Duke (literature) should I be worried? Wishing you all well for this never ending wait.
