Hey guys. I have no one to talk to about this. I got rejected from Brown fiction. I'm 23 and this was my first time applying. I only applied to Brown and decided to apply very close to the deadline. I know this was a mistake but again it was very last minute. I am currently living in Lebanon and under active warfare, and wrote my sample about the war, drawing on my experience. I am absolutely crushed. I know Brown was a longshot and I should have prepared more, but I genuinely think the writing was good. Of course, it could have been better. But I am feeling absolutely destroyed and have so much going on already that I didn't notice how much hope I was holding on to for this acceptance. I would really appreciate any advice at all, I have no one to talk to about this. I'm scared I've lost the confidence to write. I'm scared I was never good at all.
