Hi joyha, thank you so much for your thoughtful reply. This is really helpful and reassuring, and I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with me. Wishing you all the best as well!
Congratulations to all of you. In the end, I was rejected by all the programs I applied to... It has been a very painful and exhausting six months. But I may apply again next year. Everyone, please wish me good luck!
P.S. Also, I wanted to ask whether any of you contacted potential advisors before applying.
It’s already April 16. Which offers have you accepted so far? Is there still any chance of receiving an offer after this point? I’m feeling really heartbroken...
