I didn’t cry but I had those same thoughts. Being rejected at my “dream school” didn’t phase me too much because it was a T20 and you know how those are. But my target school too? It not only made me question what I did wrong for the past 4 years but it made me question if I overestimated myself. Like, am I not as good as I thought I am? And it’s tough.
I definitely get if those thoughts rush to someone’s head all at once and they cry
