Yeah, what the fuck?! Did they tell you to apply next year when more funds are available, or just to fuck off?

Either way, that's hurts, buddy. I'm sorry to read this. The good news is that you can get a great education at a lot of institutions, even if the exact prof you want to work with isn't available. You'll dust yourself off once the bitterness wears off.
