    So sorry to hear that. I received my PFO this week too and it really got to me as I worked really hard on that application. But if it makes you feel better, everyone is in the same basket - no one's heard positively from BM. I hope you feel better soon :)

    Thanks, it really is! I applied a week before the deadline. Another friend of mine applied just before I did and she is still waiting. I think it's just random at this point
