After applying for a master's degree at the college where I work, I received a standard rejection notice. Since I thought I would apply again next year if I could improve my chances of admission, I emailed the department asking if I could get feedback on my application. The program chair agreed to talk with me and told me I was rejected for fit reasons, but after we talked, he said he would reverse his decision.
I'm waiting on a status update in the applicant portal and still just feeling anxious, like this can't be real. (When does this kind of thing ever happen?!) Is there a possibility that the acceptance won't actually come through, or do I need to chill out?
