outlook is grim

So far, I've only gotten dings, and I feel like I need to prepare myself for the possibility of not getting in anywhere. What then? Apply in 4th round to 'safer' schools, re-apply in the fall, or postpone the whole thing altogether and find a more immediate way to make a career change (i.e. ...new job)?

My most recent interview for my "safest" school was by far the hardest. I'm not sure if I misinterpreted her demeanor and tone, but I felt a tinge of hostility and condescension from my interviewer, and the questions asked for much more specificity compared to my prior interviews for more "difficult," top 10 schools (all to be revealed later!). Perhaps she was just testing my ability to keep it cool but--most people who've interviewed with her have claimed she was quite nice and conversational. I suppose I tried my best and have done all that I can.

All my eggs are now in one basket, and all I can do now is wait. And wait... and wait...

Dear Suser, Ding! - Love, Kellogg

I'm not shocked nor heartbroken, but a little disappointed, of course. I saw it coming. Part of me wants to scream, WHY DONT YOU WANT ME, KELLOGG?!? But i'm trying not to take it personal. :)
