@kp_87 I was about to give up but im trying to not see it as about me... I just need to improve my application and define my project more clearly. and I can find a better fit, and perhaps apply to schools that are not "the top". I do wonder about that, as @SpaceMaker was just saying.

How are people doing? anyone else already thinking about how to improve their apps for next time? (haven't received the final rejection yet but I dont think its going anywhere)

How are people feeling? I hope the people who got rejected aren't too depressed. Now that I"m finishing up my Masters, I see that getting rejected isn't all a bad thing in every case. For me, if I get rejected from my final place, that will give me time to define my projects much more, and look at more programs and contact people, and find somewhere that will be a better fit. I know some of us are just trying to get the degree, and we are dealing with job insecurity and stuff. But I just wanted to throw that out there... and also trying to remind myself! I just saw someone say they're glad they were rejected bc it allowed them to refine their approach and they ended up getting into a top school. Personally I know my app wasn't what it could be, so I'm trying to see it as an opportunity... xx

Yes I emailed them. they didnt say I was rejected, but that they sent offers out. so if people decline, they will start asking the rest of us. is how I understand it.

Toronto said they emailed phd offers out on march 1st.

I was rejected from WashU so if you haven't heard anything yet it might be a sign you are still being considered.

omg. if I don't hear back from my final program soon....

good luck everyone!!!
