Well, I just got officially rejected from my 'safety' school (UT-Austin). The odd thing is that I applied 2 years ago and got in with full funding but turned them down to accept a 2-year paid research job since I really wanted to gain some more experience (and to save some money). Do you think that might have killed my chances? I'm in-state, too.
No acceptances yet...I'm getting scared because I know many of the places I applied have been notifying...ugh.
Waiting: Princeton, MIT, Northwestern, NYU, UCLA, Georgetown
Rejected: Yale, UT-Austin
