I got my first response today from School X and it was a rejection ( in batch with many others ).
I have found many of my schools giving acceptances to a handful number of qualified people.
Let me count. c, m, p, c, u, u, b, u. So 8 out of 10 schools have given their acceptance decisions.
It makes me think that I have already been rejected. And adcom is putting rejected applicants in a bin to send an automated rejection letter to all of them at the end. It's like no extra work for the looser. I still have little hope with two other schools. One of them is my top choice and another is the one where I didn't want to go in the first place. It's funny Now I think that no one can be more happy than me if I get admission from my least preferable school.
It was crazy in last few weeks. Now I think I am getting a bit serene. The first rejection made me happy as at least I am not in ignorance anymore. One of them finished reviewing my application I am not still under review.
