For JD I didn’t get into Duke, UNC, Harvard, Yale, and got waitlisted at Columbia and then never heard one way or the other. Obvi I didn’t go to law school. For PhD: rejected at Harvard. Wound up with my first job there. Academia is weird. https://twitter.com/herberthistory/status/1249505444030226436

Thank God this thread isn’t about jobs I didn’t get or publications who rejected my work.
