A Setback

Today I received via snail mail my admissions status from my second interview. I thought it was the better of two interviews, especially with some comments I recieved from the interviewers, so I had thought the entire experience went quite well.

I was wrong though. I have been told that I will have a second review once all other applications have been reviewed in April. No acceptance, no waitlist at this time. From what I have read this effectively corresponds to a Dear John letter.

Really, this shouldn't come as a surprise. One cannot expect to be accepted in all the schools that have been applied to.

I suppose the bigger thing is that I thought this had gone really well. Makes you doubt your first interview ya know?

Only thing to do is keep pluggin' away like I have been for the last couple years and keepin' the fingers crossed. I do think, however, it is time for a beer.
