Looks like I got totally shut out. Not even a single invitation to interview anywhere. I was aiming high but still thought I'd at least be competitive.
I applied to:
UCSD - (Only school that officially got back to me on their own relatively promptly with a reject)
UC Davis - Emailed professor today to confirm rejection.
Cornell
NYU - "We regret to inform you that we had over 200 applications and that although your application is competitive, you did not make the short list."
Michigan State - Emailed POI today to confirm.
Washington State - This was the last place I was holding out hope for, but emailed POI today and he said that I might be on the backup list but they were interviewing other people, so it seems unreasonable to still hold onto much of any hope at this point.
I am defeated.
