Summary of Experience:
This rejection hurt...a lot. It was my first interview too, and I thought it went pretty well. I guess fit didn't work out this time.
Summary of Experience:
Absolutely loved this school. #1 Top choice for sure. The wait is killer, tho.
After 14 weeks of post-interview silence, I woke up to the really heartbreaking rejection email. To say that I'm saddened by this one would be an understatement. Both of my state schools did not show me love; it's hard to think that any state would now. :(
