Hi, everyone! Guess I found this topic quite late lol So, this was my first cycle, and I ended up applying only to 3 depts (mostly because of the pandemics, couldn’t retake GRE and so on) and I just received the last rejection from NW. I was already preparing to try again this year (2021/2022 cycle), but somehow I am feeling very unsure of my plans rn, especially after reading your thoughts about cutting funding/classes and so on. So I would like to hear from the ones that were admitted this cycle if it was your first time applying and/or experiences about going on a second cycle. I guess I just need some perspective, because I am feeling quite lost on what to do next. Thought I was prepared to receive these rejections, but it does not seem to be the case. Thank you all
