Thank you for the encouragement. It's really hard to get through every day without hearing anything from schools.
I thought I had pretty good chances. I have tons of research (no publications though), a 4.0 GPA, and my weakest area is the GRE's. I had a 550V and 500M. I didn't re-take them because I figured I would get into my current program. I found out some doc students in my program got in with lower GRE scores than that, so all the other 9 applications were pretty much safety net for me. I was made to feel really good about my chances by my advisor, and needless to say, my program turned me down. Now I'm hoping one of the other ones falls through but like I said, it's late in the season and I'm starting to lose hope. I feel like by now every school must have already contacted their interviewees.
Anyway, I appreciate your words and I still do hold onto a glimmer of hope 🙂.
