I know what you mean. I went through my "reality check" when I was applying. It was pretty tough. But now I have a plan b set in place if I get rejected from all the schools I applied to, so even if I don't get into any programs, I don't think I will feel as bad as last year. But I have my fingers crossed for all of you (myself included), and I hope everyone gets into a program somewhere
I hate waiting for responses only to find out that you're rejected. If the school is going to reject me, I would prefer them do it sooner rather than later just to put me out of my misery
