| D rejected SFS (deferred EA) I suspect it was her top choice, but she would never say that. She does have some other decent options. | |

| Waitlisted! after being deferred EA (SFS)
what really makes me mad at myself is that I didn't do any of the "continued interest" things after I got deferred because I just thought I was out of the running.
...but if they didn't hate me enough to outright reject me this time around, I probably had some hope.
so. stupid. so. incredibly. stupid. | |
