I got rejected at Johns Hopkins Public Mental Health program. 3.7 GPA with over ten years experience in the mental health field and I believe strong letters of rec. This is bull crap.

Greetings all, My second post here. I've recently applied to several doctoral programs(UC Berkeley, Johns Hopkins to name a few) and so far I'm 0-2 despite my 3.7 GPA and 10 plus years of work experience and undergrad research. When I struck out on Berkeley and Hopkins I was devastated. Now I'm awaiting UC Merced but honestly I've been depressed about being rejected. I know people get rejected all the time but how did you overcome that depressed feeling?

Greetings all, I've been reading that the federal government has been taking away funding this affecting incoming graduate students. I recently received two rejections from Johns Hopkins and UC Berkeley. After reading about what's going on with the federal government not giving financial resources to universities is this affecting potential doctoral students getting accepted?
