However, last year I was was interested in a project that did NOT get accepted into GSOC. It was quite deflating to be not accepted/rejected. Money does make the world go around, and if we all had plenty of money we would all have more time to write open source code :) But on the chance your application does get rejected consider doing it anyway!
