I know it's much easier said than done, but have faith and keep your head up! You've still got some other institutions to wait on and I'm sure good news is on the way.
And if it isn't? I only have 2 shots left, Penn, which is about as competetive as Chicago, and Johns Hopkins, which is about as competetive as Brown.

Update: just recieved rejection letter from Brown. Starting to panic now...

Got my first decision for grad school bacl today, and it's a big fat rejection. I applied for was Ph.D in Near East Languages and Civilizations (Egypt) at UChicago, which is the school I heard back from, Penn, Johns Hopkins, and Brown. Now, I thought February through March is when they send acceptance letters and letters saying you're on the wait list and then don't send rejections until late march through April. So does the fact that I recieved my rejection that quickly mean they thought I was extremely unqualified for the program? If that's the case, then I need to work on my back up plan for next year when the other rejections come in.
Is it a bad sign that I got my rejection letter this early?

Just got rejected from Penn, the school I considered most likely to accept me, so I'm going to go ahead and call it. I'm not going to grad school, I'm not going to be an academic, I'm going to be stuck behind a desk for the rest of my life in best case scenario or on minimum wage in the worst, I'm done for.
