Computer Science, University Of California, San Diego I was hoping that good news would come from all the waiting. However, I could not have been more wrong, and it blows; UCSD is my dream school. Moreover, I am a recently separated US Navy veteran who worked in cryptology for close to 4 years. I have no published papers and did not go to a top university; however, I had three strong letters of recommendation, a strong SOP, a solid GPA, immense drive, dedication, and proven work experience, which I hoped would lead to acceptance. But, in the end, it wasn't enough. (Although I am very happy for all those who were accepted and hope all the hard work pays off!)
P.S. While looking over the UCSD website and after contacting them about the university's demographics out of pure curiosity, I am unsure if they actually consider and or accept veterans. Additionally, when I asked how many actual veterans (those who served, not family members) attend, they said they do not have the information to give. So, if you're a veteran and find yourself curious about the inclusivity of this university, keep this in mind: you might not be as important of a consideration as others, and apparently, you have to be okay with it.

Information, University Of Toronto Moved off the waitlist. This is my 5th year applying to Phd programs, in the past all rejections aside from one failed waitlist from truly mediocre schools. My advice is to just keep going, no matter how sad and frustrating this process is. If you just keep trying and working your ass off revising your SOP and sample, you will find the right place and advisor for you. It took me forever, but I am glad it did because ended up in this incredible program with the perfect advisor for my research. Lots of tears, anger, and frustration over the years. Good luck to everyone else who has been through it. Try again and again and again and again.
