@SHGargrove, I am so sorry you are feeling these range of emotions. Rejection is one of the worst feelings in the world. This is such a stressful process because everyone has worked so hard and now we just all sit and play the waiting game. Every program is different as far as what they are looking for, doesn't make you or anyone any better or worse than the next person. It's hard for the committee's to really get a good glimpse of us not only as students but as future professional when they are only looking at words and numbers on paper. Applying to schools that do interviews give people the upper edge because they get to show their true personality. I am sure you will get in somewhere. Please don't be discouraged. This is only a small moment in our lives and like you said in five tears this won't matter. I KNOW it's easier said than done. I've had my moments of breakdown over the past few weeks. But a few days ago I realized its not worth crying and being upset about things I can't control. All I can do is be proud of how far I've come and that I have worked so hard to get to this moment and soon in less than 3 months I'll be receiving my bachelors degree. There are so many things to look forward to. It'll all work out in the end, I promise.
