    Lysdexia got a reaction from 01848p in On living with your 'second choice'   
    How are you a philosophy scholar if you can't accept new paths?  Seems a bit odd to me to have such a black and white perspective about graduate school, and to study philosophy.  Admittedly, you said it ended up being worth it.  I will hold no resentment if I don't get into my #1 pick because someone else deserved it more than I did (most likely), or they don't have the resources to train me in my field. 

    We all get bummed out about things not going our way, but you have to buck up and move on because if you stay in the past, those negative thoughts are just going to stunt your potential.

    Unless my reading comprehension is very much failing me, OP has had several years to get past it.

    Give some thought to the possibility that you weren't your new school's first choice either.
