  1. Wait-listed at my "safety school."

    What a strange thing graduate programs are. I know that fit is important, but it blows my mind that the less-prestigious programs rejected or waitlisted me while the significantly more prestigious schools accepted me.

    I'm relieved that I got into my top-choice, and that I didn't need to count on this safety school. I've got a weird sort of disappointment though: I didn't want to go there, but I'm still hurt that they didn't want me, you know? Like when you think 'they'll definitely want me' and they don't it's a strange sort of feeling of pseudo-failure.

      All rejections hurt, I guess. I was pretty sure I would be rejected from my reach school, but it still hurt to get the rejection letter, no matter how prepared I was for it. I think also, for safety schools, having the expectation that you'll get in is probably where the let-down is, regardless of if you want to go or not.
