School: UC Irvine, CUNY, and U Wyoming Laramie
Area: Psychology and Social Behavior (Cali), Psychology and Law (NY and Wyoming)
Rationalization: Cali gave me the too many qualified students line. NY sent me an email saying that everyone invited for interviews has already been notified. Wyoming is presumed due to another poster saying they were told all interviews have been notified.
Comment: I'm a tad upset but not that surprised. I'm graduating with my BS early, don't have publications, and my GRE scores were on the low side. I am at or slightly above the averages for all except Cali, so it was still worth a shot. Being rejected by all three over a course of 2 days did suck though. 2 Ph.D.s to hear from and the MA app is due in March. Hopefully those give better news.
Coping tactics: Applying for MA, watching Netflix/Bravo, talking with friends in similar situation, trying to maintain positivity
