<p>I sort of am in that I'm excited for where I'm going, but I haven't totally forgotten getting rejected from my dream school. My friends are all over the place; some are still as crushed as the day it happened, and some don't care at all.</p>
<p>What about you guys? Still upset or moved on?</p>
<p>Sometimes you can’t fight what happens and you tell yourself that everything happens for a reason. </p>
<p>Sometimes you have to be realistic too. But then again, I was waitlisted by my dream school …yolo</p>
<p>I got deferred from UMich in late December. I found out I was not admitted in early April. Needless to say I was not happy that I waited such a long time to hear a negative decision but, you have to move on and be happy for the colleges you do get into. Everything is going to be ok and you’re going to find a good education anywhere.</p>
<p>Completely over it. I love the college I’m going to, and Wake Forest was a pretty high reach for me, so I was surprised that they even bothered to waitlist me and didn’t waste any time thinking I’d make it off (which I didn’t). Although it was my biggest stretch I was never too thrilled about the thought of attending because this town is a landfill.</p>
<p>Yeah, Tufts shut me out… half of me wants to say **** 'em and get over it and half of me wants to transfer after the first semester haha</p>
<p>Yeah, I really don’t care. When I got all my letters, I sat down, looked at where I got in, and narrowed down until I had a decision made. Simple ,and I’m looking forward to college.</p>
<p>I’m a lot more over it than I thought I would be for college rejections. Getting rejected from prom has proven to be 50x more lingering :(</p>
<p>if i think about it, not really. the first feelings that come up are pangs of injustice heh. luckily, i don’t really end up thinking about it very much at all.</p>
<p>I didn’t get any rejections.</p>
<p>so you’re not over your rejections because you never got any in the first place?</p>
<p>Precisely.</p>
<p>Accepted everywhere I applied but Princeton, MIT, and Yale, and Yale still crushes me. Princeton and MIT were tough to accept, but I didn’t love them. Yale on the other hand, I did. I keep telling myself that my admits have better programs in my majors (physics and econ) and that i’ll be going to school for free anyway, but it’s hard nonetheless - particularly given that another student at my school was admitted after he lied about his race.</p>
<p>Kind of, my rejections hurt A LOT. Especially MIT, which I really love. It’s kind of ruining my happiness about going UCLA tbh</p>
<p>Though, one thing: my dad has a friend who -still- has his MIT rejection letter, and he’s in his 50s now. Don’t be that guy, ladies and gentlemen. There are more important things.</p>
<p>MIT was my only rejection. I still winch a little when I hear the name, but it’s not a big deal. I’m excited for college regardless, plus the school I’m going to has a lot that I would miss at MIT.</p>
<p>^^Wohh, has he kept it as a joke? Or does he actually still dwell on the fact he was rejected?</p>
<p>I am. Or at least I think I am. I’ve wanted to go to Princeton since the second grade. My older sister, who originally wanted to go to Harvard, attended. So I felt a lot of pressure to get in as well. It was a tough pill to swallow but I am strong in my faith, which helped A LOT. I know that as much as I wanted to get in God has better plans for me at UT Austin. To me, it’s like a break-up. You’ll always wonder “what if” but deep down you know you’re better off. I hope you all feel good about your schools as well. We’ll all be successful. :)</p>
<p>helloel, he’s still a bit bitter about it. No joke. Just a tiny little chip on the shoulder, nothing really huge, as I understand. But it’s there.</p>
<p>I actually wish I would have applied to more places to see where I would’ve gotten into. I’m content with my acceptances though.</p>
<p>Applied to two schools on a whim (free application) and one I actually cared about. Got accepted to all three and I’m going to the one I cared about.</p>
<p>No sting of rejection, but I wouldn’t say I’m elated either. I met the low expectations I set for myself.</p>
<p>So where are you guys going this fall?</p>
