hat about the other way' Would getting the GC denied (I do not have any reason why it might be, again it is just me being too worried) be a problem for a future F1? 

Applying for an immigrant visa and having it refused does not make somebody ineligible for an F-1 visa. However the reason for the refusal may be an issue. To be refused an immigrant visa, there needs to be a reason. The vast majority of those reasons would apply to most visas (so it's not that applying for / being refused the visa is the issue - it's just something that would apply to both visa classes).

I do not have any medical problems rather than mild depression three years ago (which mostly caused me to be extremely tired and unmotivated but that is it), no criminal record, have never overstayed my visas or ESTA, got my J1 and K1 approved without a problem and even went back to the states after my K1 (I got stopped at the border, was asked what had happened and then that was it and I enjoyed my vacation in the US), I can prove 125% of poverty guidelines in savings, completed high school and college... 

So there isn't, objectively speaking, any reason why it should be denied. That being said, I still cannot believe I got selected and I cannot even believe I might get to live my dream. So it should not get refused but I am legitimately worried about it for no good reason.

Yes it would, but unless you have a terrible crime in your background there’s no reason to expect that.

All the major/most common reasons for a refusal check out fine. And having been issue a J-1 and K-1 in the past implies there likely isn't another reason (unless something happened since those, obviously).

I totally get this. I think we are all never quite ready to believe it until we get that visa in our passports!

Nothing has happened except for the breakup with my fiancé (but I left on day 88 of the 90 I had to either get married or leave the country and I guess it is also a good thing that I followed the rules and did leave the country) and having been admitted to a master's (which should also be a good thing if it were to matter at all). You mentioned "major/most common", any other small or less common or sometimes overlooked reasons I should pay attention to? (I read prostitution, drug use, polygamy... and none of those apply to me at all lol I also have to renew my passport but I can bring my old one, the one I applied with, to the interview with me).

I know I am being irrational, I really do know that.

I can't even bring myself to think about that out of fear it won't happen and it'll break my heart. I am such a drama queen about this but at least it is reassuring to feel understood. Thank you!!!!!!!
