I got rejected from all 5 programs I applied to my first year. Next year I got into 3 of 5. Now I work in a department that initially rejected me as a student. 🤷🏾‍♀️. You just need to know how to play the game, which isn’t intuitive. It helps to have good advisors.

For our department review this year, I studied lots of past admissions data, and had to confront the fact that we have rejected lots of now-very-prominent scholars! The best I can say is that you're not the only one in this group to eventually get hired by us in some capacity!

Amazing! I will assume that this was CS, and so the wisdom of Stanford Linguistics is preserved for this case!
