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 🤞🤞🤞
No it was an actual rejection. Having said that. I’m more relieved that I finally got a decision rather than waiting!
Have them emailed you? I haven’t heard anything yet 😭😭 Very nervous now but least the wait is finally over !
