In a state of disbelief right now.
I went through my congressman's nomination process relatively confident due to receiving an LOA beforehand as well as being told by admissions that I am one of, if not the best in my district. My application was great, the interview was "meh" (Not bad, but definitely not amazing); I was informed today that they were "unable to select" me.
Sure, I have my Senator interviews coming up, but I'm not getting my hopes up since I live in California. If I couldn't even make the top 10 of my district, how in the world am I going to make the top 10 in the most populous state in the US? I guess it was my mistake for taking it for granted; everyone around me told me how a nomination would come easily with an LOA. Now, I feel like an idiot who's been hung out to dry.
I'm working hard on prepping for my interview with Senator Feinstein, but I don't want to get my hopes up and set myself up for disappointment again. I really don't know what to do, I'm bouncing around ideas like ROTC, reapplying, etc. Thoughts on where I should go from here?
Sorry for the vent, just needed to get this off my chest.
