In case anyone was wondering, I was rejected from the #NSFGRFP both rounds I applied.
I remember that the reviewer feedback felt very personal at the time. Lots of folks will suggest using the notes as a learning experience right away, but I'd actually suggest otherwise. (1/3)

Right now prob isn't the best time to try and take in reviewer comments. After your initial debrief w mentors, set the feedback aside for as long as you need to process the disappointment - even couple months or more. By then, you'll be separated enough from the experience (2/3)
for retrospection to be more valuable.
Try not to feel discouraged, and DO NOT compare yourself with your fellow grad students.
Rather, think back to your very first day on campus and reflect on *how much* you've grown - the answer is a helluva lot. Good job! Keep it up! END
