So sad

I've been waiting for some sort of notification, and I've finally gotten it.

Oh well, guess I'll have to apply next time.

Rejected?

I still haven't gotten a rejection letter, but I think I'm off the list...

I asked the Astronaut Selection Office if there was any progress, and got the response that they have selected "483 of the 6,100 applicants for the highly qualified group, and selected 120 from that group for initial interviews." Since I wasn't contacted, I'm just not in that group. Oh well, next time!
