After failing to get invitations to 2 of 5 PhD programs I applied to for the fall 2017. I seriously think I won't get accepted this round and that I'll need to reapply next year. I'm disappointed but I definitely recognize there are certain things I could have done better. Additionally, I've contacted a professor and will be joining their research lab in a two weeks. Although I had experience in several labs before they didn't really relate to my research interest; this new lab more closely aligns with my interest. I also feel like next time I'll apply to programs outside my home state of California. I know it's still a little early but I'm just planning for next round of applications.

Only takes 1, but probably a good idea to have found alternatives anyway just in case.

Took me two years to get in, and only then through some really fortuitous but unexpected circumstances. You don't realize just how much chance there really is in all of this. Good luck to you, though. It's not over until it's over.
