    No it was an actual rejection. Having said that. I’m more relieved that I finally got a decision rather than waiting!
    Yes I agree. I thought I would feel a lot worse about it because I don’t have any more applications. But it’s definitely not the end of the world. Good luck to everyone else still waiting 🤞🤞🤞
