I see now where that sense of entitlement comes from
I hate this stupid argument of "be grateful you have interviews." It's not like I'm some lucky individual upon whom interviews were bestowed and everyone else is completely powerless to hear back. I worked hard over the course of years to put together a strong application that would guarantee me these interviews, and I've been rewarded for that. If you have socioeconomic factors significantly limiting you from having good grades, ECs, and scores, that's one thing. But very few people can say that- most of my peers who haven't heard back simply spent too much time intoxicated (or maybe even just straight up lazy) and not enough time actually being productive.
And I've been rejected from 5 places, and you can look at the school specific threads for all of them- I've been fairly positive about them. I can't even imagine how difficult this is for people who don't have any acceptances or are wasting several thousand dollars attending more interviews when it might be unnecessary. Like I said, it's the lack of openness that's pissing me off.
