My first year applying, I was 5/5 rejections with no interviews anywhere. I started to feel pretty crappy after the 3rd rejection, but I still created a backup plan. I also did file reviews everywhere. I got accepted 2/3 places with 3 interviews the very next cycle!
Hang in there. I don't have much to add to what everyone else has said other than that you should stay positive. I'm all for taking a day or to for moping and eating, but don't wallow for too long. Do file reviews ASAP (a lot of schools won't even schedule them until late Spring), and take those seriously. Do what they suggest, and try again.
Also, FWIW, getting an interview anywhere generally indicates that you are a solid applicant. So don't take one rejection to mean that you're going to get rejected everywhere. Like I said, my IS cut me after the interview, but the other two schools gave me a seat. Keep your chin up
ETA: To clarify, my backup plan was not a backup career, but a pre-vet internship that really helped me stand out during applications.
