<p>We told our S to keep his so when he is old and happy and successful, he can look at them and remember that it really doesn't matter where you go to school, it matters what you do with your education. (And if he does become Rich and Famous, he can send those schools a copy with a note I GUESS YOU WERE WRONG, HUH??).</p>
<p>after reading CC for a few months. i have realized that there are A LOT of mothers on here. haha kind of weird</p>
<p>^ LOL!!!!!</p>
<p>HAHA seriously my parents are more/less computer illiterate, other than reading the news and checking email</p>
<p>If my mom was on CC I'd freak out! No joke...</p>
<p>I haven't been rejected from schools, but I've been rejected from scholarship/accelerated medical programs. I pretty much just stare at the letters and then I dejectedly place them in the recycling (haha I live in Oregon... so I have to put them there). And then I walk away and go watch Hannah Montana. It's great =) always cheers me up</p>
<p>and ^ my dad uses my account to look at stuff on CC plus he set up my account =)</p>
<p>"at our school we used to have this thing called "the wall of rejection" where students could post up their rejections for everyone to see. It sounds like something you might not want to do, but when everyone puts them up it makes people feel like "hey, im not the only person who was rejected somewhere"...or "hey, that person was rejected somewhere too? i guess im not such a failure after all"</p>
<p>the new principal got rid of it last year, but hopefully they will reinstate it, i think its a healthy thing"</p>
<p>RBallard14, I admire this very much because it shows that you're in a school we're people aren't so uptight about things like this. From teh wall of rejections that happen at your school I infer that everyone is cool with each others let-downs and aren't afraid to show it. It's the same with my best friends & I. Whenever we are rejected somewhere we are never ashamed to let each other know because we are that comfortable with each other. Remind sme of the song "Stronger" by Kanye West</p>
<p>I don't think I'll burn my rejection from Stanford. I was actually sort of cheered by the fact that it was so encouraging. When I opened the email (which was totally received in my Spam folder, heh) it was more like, "How will they reject me?" than "Will they reject me?"</p>
<p>I was more bothered by my waitlist letter from Rice, which was quite terse. :-l</p>
<p>I plan to have a bonfire where I burn all of my(paper) college mail...and I do believe the main event will be the burning of the rejection letters!
haha.</p>
<p>I should've burned them. I kept my BC one just because it ironically is moral-raising. I accidentally dumped a cup of yogurt on another one. The rest were online, so 'delete' had to suffice.</p>
<p>Is it weird that I wish I had a rejection letter to burn? Instead of stupid waiting lists...</p>
<p>i don't have any rejection letters
since colleges think i'm not good enough to send me a piece of paper saying that i got rejected (ejem ejem stanford bc it's ecofriendly)</p>
<p>Stanford's a huge hypocrite to say that. Use their special mailing labels (at least 7 pieces of paper), mailing in your stuff in the big envelopes only, etc etc. It's like oh, so NOW you want to save a tree when it's coming out of your pocket. Cheapstakes.</p>
<p>I know and you have to print out all the pages even if you don't need all the labels. -_- I couldn't figure out at least how to get it to <em>not</em> print out the international pages.</p>
