Just got my first rejection...(rutgers)

<p>Also Drexel and St. Joe’s in Philadelphia. But you have to sit down and get working. Take TONIGHT only to get it off your chest…but DONT drink. Just vent with your family and friends. And then tomorrow am early, get UP and out of bed. Get in the shower. Head down to local Starbucks and over a couple of good cups of joe strategize your future with someone you TRUST. Then go home, download the applications and get cracking. Have them DONE by Monday am and turn in your recommendation forms to the GC or teachers on Monday. </p>

<p>This happens to thousands of kids like you. You are not alone. But the difference in a HAPPY outcome and a poor outcome is entirely up to you, and that means being positive and looking forward. Its painful, I know. Turn the page and get to work. Its very cathartic to work on another application.</p>

<p>I also think that WVU is a good choice. And don’t forget Marshall. We ARE Marshall…a fine school.</p>

<p>You have lots and lots of choices.</p>
