Comparison is the thief of joy
I always tell people that their time will come and not to obsess over forums and other people’s success but i’ve really been struggling to take my own advice lately. this is my second cycle, i applied mid-may and still haven’t heard back from the schools i applied to which are all rolling admissions. i feel confident in my stats but i can’t help but compare myself to others and it genuinely makes me feel horrible. my anxiety is so much worse this cycle and i can’t help but feel so defeated when other MAs at my job have already gotten multiple interviews and some have even gotten accepted. i know it’s still early in the cycle but im 25, working at the same job for 3 years and just getting so sick of waiting. my gpa is above average, i had my PS reviewed by several people, 5 strong LOR, and 5k PCE, etc. what more do these schools want? :(
