[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Adding one more note - I was not a TJ grad, but at MIT there was a bunch of us that were upset about graduate school admissions. Mostly it was our grade point average that meant we wouldn't get to the interview process. My friends and I had our graduate school rejection letters from Harvard posted in the bathroom. All of us landed at great schools, so looking back on it, it was no big deal. That said, it still stung. In the absolute worst case scenario, a friend applied to 25 medical schools and got into none. She had to do a masters and reapply. She did eventually get in and became a MD. [/quote] PhD programs are more like a handful of apprenticeships than a single "program". It makes 0 sense to be disappointed in any individual rejection unless you are exceptionally entitled or if you previously received confirmation that prof. so and so would take you as their student.[/quote]
