Didn’t get into program

[Ifi]

I didn’t get into Rush’s GEM program which was my top choice and it has hit me hard. I am questioning my self worth and well, everything. I am not a young person by any means and definitely been rejected from other academic ventures but I seriously thought I had a chance and that I was a good fit for this school. I didn’t do as well on the interview as I would have liked but I gave thought out answers to the questions. I don’t know why I am actually posting because I know it’s silly to put all your self worth on being admitted to a program or not. Maybe I am hoping to hear about similar situations that turned out better? I am even considering emailing the interviewer to ask if she can give me any insight. I emailed admissions already and got the generic response of we can’t admit everyone.

I think I figured out what my real issue is. I know I will do well in whatever program I am in because I’m a hard worker. I think I wrongly set up the rest of my time counting of being accepted into a program and counting on that to give me happiness instead of working on dealing with my depression. I will still email my interviewer to see if there is anything I can improve on and actually work towards fixing myself.
