Don't forget what an accomplishment it is for any of us to even be in the position of just applying to graduate school! No matter what happens we've all earned at least one degree already and had the ambition to apply for more. That's not a failure by any measure. I tell myself that if I don't get accepted, I will take a month to decide what I really want. Then I will spend the next 9 months doing whatever I can to strengthen my application before giving it another go. Or I will pick a different (not less worthy) path and continue on.
