Life after UW Rejection...

<p>First of all, congratulations to those of you who were accepted.</p>

<p>I, unfortunately was among those rejected and was feeling a little blue. However, like many of you, I also received other acceptances and am still happy with my other offers.</p>

<p>My question, for those of you who have been rejected, do you plan on trying to transfer back later, or are you upset enough to not go back if you had the chance?</p>

<p>At the moment, I feel I can be just as successful at whatever university I end up attending.</p>

<p>Your thoughts?</p>

<p>I totally know how you feel right now. I was rejected too, while literally ALL of my friends that I worked with throughout high school got in. The first couple days post-rejection were crap; everyone on facebook was like, “OMG! GOT MY ACCEPTANCE TO UW,” and it made me feel so crappy. After a while, though, it gets much better. Thankfully, I was already accepted to my #2 school, so it wasn’t like it was all over. Since I felt that I still need a second chance, I’m going to appeal to UW…I mean what have I got to lose? Anyway, i’m kind of glad I’m not going to UW because that means I get to go to the east coast for school! If I don’t get in through the appeal, i’m just going to leave it at that; no transfer, nothing. My parents don’t even want me to appeal to UW, but I’m still going to do it anyway and hope for the best. But as of now, I’m already set for a school I am very happy with. Don’t take this rejection so hard. I know a ton of people who were rejected but got into other great schools, if not, better.</p>

<p>Sounds like a wonderful opportunity for you to the east coast. Good luck with the appeal anyway. I will not plan an appeal and am already looking forward to my other equally good choice going oos.</p>
