I’m really sorry….I wish there was something I could say to help you feel better, but the truth is nothing anyone says will take away that feeling of not being good enough during this process. It REALLY is a ****ty process, it builds a lot of anticipation and anxiety and causes a lot of people stress and defeat, its sad.
It’s easy for a million people to tell you you are enough, you deserve it, don’t take it personal but it doesn’t take away the hurt or nerve—even though I’m about to do all of that.
Really try not to take it as a reflection of you. Admissions are a group of people whose job it is to judge you on paper. None of these people know you or any of us as a full individuals. If there were more schools, more seats this process wouldn’t feel so awful, but fighting against 1000+ people for 100-150 seats is brutal. Especially when some schools are pickier than others, more biased or look at some aspects over others.
🤍Just remember you are a great person, who loves this profession and wants to go further. Your feelings are justified and understandable but don’t write off your abilities, success, talent etc You ARE enough, it just takes that one individual in admissions to see through the paper and see that🤍
And thats to everyone feeling this way
