Lady Who Got Rejected For Her PHD At New York, Says She Would Apply To A Thousand Schools Next Time

A determined lady named Vee K. who just got rejected for her PHD at New York in Education, has concluded that she’s not given up any time soon as she intends to apply to a thousand school next time.

Although the rejection got a better part of Vee as she really cried. She indulged herself with activities that made her recuperate pretty fast and shared a motivational post saying:
“Rejection is redirection” .

Sharing her story on LinkedIn, she captioned it:

I GOT REJECTED FOR MY PhD! at NYU 🥺😭😭😢. Little Life Update: so this week I found out that I didn’t get into NYU for my doctorate (PhD) in Education. – I had my heart set on moving to New York and studying there for my next & final academic degree.

I’ve wanted to do a PhD for a while now and have always loved the idea of doing it / studying in the USA.

And this particular course and the modules felt so so fitting. I really just want to learn more so I can be a better educator in the future. (I’d also only applied to NYU ; lesson learned; next time I’m applying to a thousand schools 😂)

So you can imagine I was really really sad when I found out and cried on the phone to poor James for like 2 hours. It wasn’t just about not getting into the school. It was loosing the version of this new chapter of my life that I’d hoped for for so so so so soso long & it faded away in the snapshot of an email.

BUT I made sure I leaned on my wonderful friends and family. & spent the next day with Malala eating takeaway, laughing, crying and talking about it. I spoke to my sister on the phone who was reassuring as always.

I took the day off work and indulged in self care.- went to the spa for the most relaxing 1hour 30 mins massage. I also Went out to eat alone and read a really awesome book: The Alchemist, which was so helpful about not giving up on your dreams and embracing the bumps in the road.

& most importantly I kept saying my favourite line out loud. “Rejection is redirection” –

I feel great now; I needed those two days to just wallow in it and now I’m at peace with it and I damn sure will be trying again. Another school ofc and maybe in the U.K.- who knows. But for now I’m feeling good 🦋✨☀️

(Disclaimer; I’m super aware there are literally a million more important things going on the world and this is so so so so minor in comparison to everything else – but so many of you have been asking where I’d gone for the past week so thought I’d share) (and I really pride in myself In not just showing the wins and successes of life but also letting you know it’s okay to not be okay & to be sad about things we really wanted; how you bounce back is what’s important!)💛💛💛💛💛💛 #rejection #rejected #phdjourney #phdlife
