I JUST GOT IN TO UC DAVIS WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!! 6 years' funding!!!
 
i'm so hoping this means good things for my other fellow confused applicants like @Magic Lanternoh my god i'm going to puke. 
 
i was at work and my boss thought something terrible had happened because i screamed his name and was laugh-crying.

haha, thank you!! The email from Gradcafe was below a notification from Fordham.
Also rejected, but like... credit to whoever wrote that rejection email, lol. 
2 waitlists for me this season - staying positive, both programs I am really invested in! If not, next year it is.
Good luck everyone!!!

I think it's always helpful to remember rejection isn't any indication of how smart someone is.

It's truly a tough year. I do think that's the case. I don't think I've seen a year where so many, many talented people got rejected by every single school they applied to. 

This was me. I went 0/7 first cycle and 6/10 my second. It's a frustrating reality that presentation counts for so much. As much as I want to believe the quality of my thinking developed between cycles, it was mostly just how I presented my ideas that mattered.
