International Applicants Getting Rejected

Is it always this messy for international applicants? No matter, this session took a toll on all of us international applicants, rejections left and right and hardly a single acceptance. I'm sorry, but at this stage rejection is definitely not redirection. The system feels largely against us, as we've dedicated almost all of our academic career trying to set everything up to the best of our abilities, only to see that very system turn against us.
