U of Minnesota rejection came in today.
It's the only one I applied to for financial reasons. Definitely knew I wasn't getting in so I'm pretty well adjusted to it, but it comes on the heels of a job rejection I thought i was a shoe-in for. Could have worked at a local university, with students, as an academic advisor til inevitably applying next cycle, but instead, stuck in retail. Having so much in front of me two days ago to now having literally nothing is a tough pill to swallow. Congrats to all who got in, and to all who haven't/didn't, hang in there just one more year. They literally can't admit all the qualified applicants, so it's a numbers game at a certain point. Keep rolling the dice.
