I'm a bit conflicted, because I know that means there was a hidden cut that I passed and had no idea about, so I'm happy, but I feel bad.

I feel bad because I have developed personal relationships with several people who didn't get granted an interview. I know a lot of people

are cut-throat about this sort of thing, but I don't have the stomach for that. These people worked hard, if not harder, than a lot of

others who did get granted an interview. Sorry....just needed to vent a bit.

Based on the rate, timeslots, and time of interviews, the 300+ original applicants were cut to 120 for the interviews. There are 90 slots.

that means I have a 25% chance of getting cut out of the running. or a 75% chance of getting into the program.

I'm an optipessimist thanks to my conflicting emotions.

I love the term... though it makes my mind melt! Got my fingers crossed for ya!

You're a caring human is what you are, George!
