And yeah, psych apps are madness. They have a rep for being harder to get into than a lot of disciplines because it's very a popular major, and opportunities are pretty limited without a grad degree.
On that note, it IS sad to go on interviews with so many accomplished applicants, and to know, let's say, 10 interviewees will get rejected. I am charmed for having two funded PhD acceptances, but I worked damn hard to get here.
