[Dejected After First Rejection?]

I'm in the same boat. I got my first rejection yesterday and it was the first school I have heard from. Though I didn't really think I had a chance with this program, I can't help but be riddled with self-doubt as well and feeling like I have to start pursuing Plan B or making a Plan C already. It's not helping that I've also been job-hunting for the past few months in order to make some extra money, and that hasn't been fruitful either. I'm trying my best to stay positive and keep busy with other activities. I also have 7 other schools to hear from! I can't wait for this whole waiting game to be over and it's rather comforting to know that I'm not alone!
