Did you ever feel that if you don't get into a certain college...

<p>it's the end of the world?</p>

<p>No, that's ridiculous. Of course, it's disappointing not to get into your first choice, but it's not the end of the world. My first choice was Brown, but, being waitlisted, I reminded myself of the good colleges I did manage to get into.</p>

<p>My boyfriend feels like that for a very difficlut to get into college in India.</p>

<p>He's been claiming all year thet he'll jump from the top of the tallest building in our city if he doesn't make it!</p>

<p>Personally i think its so much luck that you'd be stupid to give something like college admission that much importance in life.</p>

<p>haha, shreya.ittk. i totally agree with you. or at least, i'm trying to. =]</p>

<p>I'm not sure if you were joking but if your boyfriend really has been saying this all year I would talk with him further about this, and possibly let someone know who he trusts. sometimes people really mean these things. I hope you don't mind my offering this concern. kind regards,
Linda</p>

<p>I used to feel like that. I'd go around talking about how if I don't get into XYZ school, I don't know what I'll do!! Then I grew up and realized, college admissions...are not that crucial</p>

<p>not the end of the world, but very upsetting. i go by the quote everything happens for a reason though. my bro got rejected from his dream school Duke, and ended up going to Northwestern and meeting his now wife.</p>
