I have been anxiously awaiting to hear from grad schools and heard from my first one today. I applied to 6 schools and was rejected by an in state University. I have a 3.8 overall GPA, am in the top 9% of my graduating class, have a 4.0 in CSD and my minor (French), and made a 308 on the GRE (and 4.5 in the writing, 80th percentile rank). I thought that I had a competitive application, but was not even chosen for the waitlist for this school. I am genuinely concerned and nervous for what is going to happen with other schools. Is anyone else as surprised as I am by this? Not a good way to start things off..I have so many questions?
