My first year of PhD applications were all rejected. The next year I accepted an offer from a place that had previously rejected me. Earned my PhD, postdoc'd at top universities in my field, and now tenure-track faculty. Accumulation of failure does not prohibit future success.

Grad school admissions is very inefficient. I always see 1-2 top students (on paper) getting accepted to every program and the rest have to wait until April. Grad school is an education, it should select people based on their match with the program, not how stellar their GPA is.

I applied to 5, rejected from all, applied to another 5 two years later and was accepted to one. These grad programs are waaaay oversubscribed, just like essentially every level in academia (including undergrad, postdoc, and especially TT faculty).

Honest question: why do North Americans *usually* only consider doing their PhDs in North America? My feeling is that grad school application in US top schools is way more competitive than in top schools around the world (besides being extremely expensive, bureaucratic and slow).

Most schools in the US don’t require you to be ready to work on research at the time you apply. I think writing a proposal as part of the application process is intimidating to US applicants.

That matches my stats almost exactly, and I can’t imagine I’d have had a better career outcome in the end by going to any of the ones I didn’t get into!

Yes!! I can't believe how many amazing students applied to our program, 90+% of whom we don't have space to admit!

Can we extend this rationale to postdoc fellowships too?

Also, you may have been accepted already but the admin is super to slow to send you your letter!
