Got my first rejection ..

Well I submitted all my applications back in December and I’m finally hearing back. I haven’t heard from any schools but just received a rejection from Northwestern. I honestly 100% expected it. I know it’s very competitive and I’ve been warned, all the programs have less than 5% acceptance rates. I still didn’t expect to have a complete panic attack when I saw the rejection letter …

How do I get myself through these. I’m expecting more rejections and this one was truly terrifying. And now I’m in my head about what comes after if I’m not accepted anywhere.
