4th reject in a row

[adam_cs]

4th rejection in a row. It's hard to breathe.

[Medievalmaniac]

I'm sorry....I hope you get in somewhere, and hang in there!!

[Kam]

There's still time! Don't give up yet. Even if it doesn't work out this year, you can try again next year with a bit more experience.

I do hope things work out for you this year, though.

[adam_cs]

Thanks for the wish. Will let you know if I get any.

[wannabePhD]

I'm so sorry! Take care!

[bikefarm]

I feel for you and yes, hang in there! Hope for the best and expect the worst (as my sister has been telling me after my first 2 rejections). If not this year, definitely the next and keep us posted.

[Ozymandias]

I feel for you. Think of it from training in what publishing will be like. Lots and lots of rejections from journals and critiques that can be quite harsh. Perseverance is certainly a job skill in academia.

[awaiter]

You are not alone. 3 Rejections already 4th one is due. All the best

[adam_cs]

I know I am not alone. But it doesn't make anything better. I hope each one of us gets into someplace.

Hang in there man,you will end up with an admit eventually. I got my first reject yesterday, more to follow in a while.I'm sure everything will work out for the good, All's well that ends well

[skiergirl24]

I know how you feel. hang in there!!

[magic]

I'm sorry to hear. How many did you apply to?

[adam_cs]

10

I am in the EXACT same boat. Applied to 10 and have been rejected by 4 (which I have only heard from 4). I don't like telling people because my professors had such faith in me I feel like I am disapointing people, I haven't even told my parents and I recently started devising a plan B.

yes. That's what I feel. All I have done so far is nothing but disappointing them. I also started working on plan B. But some places require references again. This is a difficult situation.

Don't give up man, you will get admission soon, good luck!

I applied to 5 schools and have been rejected by 1. Now, I'm wondering if I didn't apply to enough schools. Now, that I am hearing about people applying to 10 or 12 schools and getting 4 rejects in a row. If I get 4 rejects, I'm out of the game.

I really don't want to spend the next year as adjunct faculty.

1 reject, waiting for the rest of the 3 to reject me...trust me adam_cs, I know how it feels...keep your head up and hope for the best...

Go outside and do something to make yourself feel better...

I applied to 6 schools only, and I've been thinking the same thing as you (whether I've applied to too few schools).
