Wow! I'm so glad you can provide such incisive commentary on my life and priorities, thank you!
Not that you deserve any information and I'm sure you'll just write it off without any introspection, but people can actually prioritize something other than an Ivy admission, ranking, or name brand. Some of us aren't even trying to place into academia. If you are curious, I'm accepting the lowest ranked school of my four acceptances and the difference isn't marginal- I am accepted into the golden 12 for TT, but not going.
I get you are hurting, it sounds like your dreams are delayed at least a year. But given how you act regarding others' successes, personal decisions and lives, nobody here is surprised that programs didn't want to take you on.
