Final Rejection

So I got rejected from NYU as well. Now I am just waiting to hear
about funding from Buffalo, but I suppose I am not all that hopeful
about that right now.

It is a bit discouraging, but I do think maybe I was aiming way too
high. Meng things I should aim high or not go. But I wonder if he is
being realistic. I am glad I tried to apply to a better school, but at
the same time I wonder if that is the school that is best suited for
me. I wonder if my recommendations were not strong enough or what
could have been done to make a difference in my application. Or maybe
nothing could because I think I spent quite a lot of time on the
applications and selecting schools that I thought would be a good fit
for me.

The reality is this is the first time I actually get rejected on a
college application. When I was and undergrad, I only applied to
schools I thought that I could get into, and I got into them. I made
my decision to attend based on the fact that I got funding to go to
school.
The same is true of my undergrad degree and my master's degree.

I hope I can find out about Buffalo next week.
