I sat in my bathroom and cried for 2 hours on Saturday after getting my 3rd rejection letter, from UofChicago. The awful reality of not getting into grad school just came crashing down on me, and I felt/feel hopeless. Chicago was a school I felt confident I would get into, after visiting the program and speaking with faculty/sitting in during a class, and now I realize more than ever that my other schools and just wild stabs in the dark, that I will not get into.
