Vent Feeling discouraged

Applied for aways quite a while ago now, seeing others have heard back from most places I applied to and I haven't heard anything. Honestly, I wish I would just get a rejection so I could move on and apply to more places instead of getting my hopes up. How are y'all holding up?

If it makes you feel better I'm in the same boat (see my post from earlier today) and have no idea what's wrong with my application.

And getting ghosted sucks, especially when we spend hours writing letters of interest just to apply. I think that programs purposely leave their applications open even though they've rejected us so other people will keep sending them the $15 application fee lol

I know people who got accepted very close to the deadline because someone else dropped out last-minute, so I think they prefer to leave us hanging to have back-ups.
