<p>It's just the worst feeling ever. I was rejected from my first choice school and I still got into another good school, but I really worked hard in high school for this particular school. ALL of my friends got their acceptances, while I pretty much am the only one who got rejected. I just feel so down and I know I can't change it but everyone is happy except me. Ugh. I don't know how long this will be before I get over it.</p>
<p>Rejection sucks. Remember not to take it personally. Once you get to college and start making friends and living your life, it won’t really matter. I’ll find out about my first choice school in two weeks. Although I will be disappointed if it doesn’t work out, I know that I can be happy and successful anywhere I choose to go.</p>
<p>I didn’t get into my first choice school. I’m now here for grad school, and I couldn’t be happier I was rejected. I think I would have been miserable here as an undergrad versus where I actually went.</p>
<p>I only got accepted to my bottom two schools after being deferred from my #1. Luckily I got into what I think was my #2 (I honestly don’t remember anymore where it was on the list) off the waitlist. I was very bitter and very angry for a while, but as people above are saying, 99% of the time you’re going to absolutely love being at the school you’re going to, I certainly did. Even if it was #2, it was definitely a distant 2, as I really, really wanted to go to my #1.</p>
<p>Even if you end up going to this other school and end up hating it, you can probably transfer into your first choice if you still want to go.</p>
<p>Iagree with above. However, as an older person nearing retirement, remember this: you’d eventually feel worse if you hadn’t tried.</p>
<p>Haha, I made the mistake of showing my friends my first-choice school. Five of them applied, plus me. Four of them got in, not including me. Three went. So one passed up my first-choice school after crapping on my chances to get in :[ Although, it turned out for the best. The school wasn’t at all what it was cracked up to be. One friend left the school and another would like to.</p>
<p>You will get over it, definitely. I got rejected from my number 1 choice school last year but I absolutely love where I ended up. Not to mention that now when I look back at my top choice school from last year, it probably wouldn’t have been the best fit for me anyway. Everything will work out. Yes it’s natural to feel sad and crappy, but at this time next year you’re not going to care at all that your top choice back then rejected you. You probably will be much, much happier at the school you end up at anyway.</p>
<p>EDIT: I went back and looked at some of your posts out of curiosity… The same school you got rejected from was my number 1 that also denied me last year. See? You’ll be fine! :)</p>
