<p>i got my first letter from a school today...U of Miami. i got rejected.</p>
<p>it stung for a couple seconds but i was kind of expecting it</p>
<p>thats one of three</p>
<p>if i dont get into U of Central Florida,....i'll cry(i wont) but man this isnt very encouraging.</p>
<p>Don't sweat it. It was your reach anyway, right?</p>
<p>yeah but it kinda sux for your first letter to be a "Hell No".</p>
<p>Well, I'm sorry you didn't get in, but there's no point brooding over your rejection. You just have to buck up and move on.</p>
<p>Good luck with the rest of your schools!</p>

</p>
<p>but it sux more if the rest of the schools gave you hell NO too!
Something like that happened to me :(, 1 hell no, followed by 6 more!</p>
<p>I'm sorry that happened to you Newby, but jeez, don't scare the kid! :p</p>
<p>flakkid, look at it this way- your rejection is out of the way, so now you can enjoy the acceptances that will be coming your way! When I was rejected from a school last year, I moped until I received two fat packets from my top choices- that cheered me up in a hurry! :)</p>
<p>I kind of had the same experience... I got rejected ED to a school I've wanted to go to since I was about 8, then I got rejected from my other top choice school EDII, then I got waitlisted at one of my safeties (not a great year)... but I've gotten in some places now... it all works out</p>
<p>thats kinda harsh Newby. i dont even wish that upon my worst enemy. lets just hope that doesnt happen to me. I PRAY. well, im going to start applyin to other rolling ad. schools. when your first letter is a rejection, you have the right to be fearful of the others(even though that was my reach)</p>
<p>I think ive "bucked up" now but wow, they were quick to reject, my transcript was just received last week! </p>
<p>im gettin into to a U, i am WAY too good for a community college(emphasis on the way)</p>
<p>hey there's nothing wrong with crying.. i cried when i got a deferral ED and a rejection RD.. its just like damn, all my work throughout high school and they just said i'm not good enough. the weird part was that i had decided that i really didn't want to go to the ED school so I really should have been relieved.. still it's just the principle. Good luck with the rest of ur schools!</p>
<p>They deny the application, not the applicant. Don't take it personally. It is naive to think that people can look at a standardized application for perhaps an hour and really know anything about you personally, even if you did include a short essay.</p>
<p>Almost everyone gets rejected somewhere. Meh.</p>
<p>how is that harsh? That was meant to comfort you, make you feel better that you only have 1 rejection and you still have a chance -_-, i guess it was taken the wrong way... SORRY?</p>
<p>Newbyreborn -- what'd you do after all of those rejections? Did you find a college to go to?</p>
<p>OP: I know the rejection hurts. That happened with me for grad school. The first rejection that I got was from what I thought was my safety. I ended up getting 2 more rejections and then was accepted to a school that I had thought that I wouldn't get in and couldn't afford. They gave me a fellowship so I could afford it, and I had a wonderful experience there.</p>
<p>I hope that your next letters are acceptances and you have a great college experience!</p>
<p>I got my first Hell-No(UCLA) too. Most likely it will be followed by 7 more Hell-No. That still leaves me 4-5 Hell-Yes, which most likely won't be Hell-Yes. If I get a Hell-Yes from my DREAM school and Hell-No from the rest, </p>
<p>I will rejoice rejoice rejoice.</p>
<p>me too me too. I'm WAY too good for community college: / cc=end of <em>my</em> world.</p>
<p>listen, Flat nearly EVERYONE gets a rejection and some get many more. College is tougher than ever right now, the competition is fierce. If U. OF MIAMI was a reach, you knew when you applied that there was a good chance it wouldn't happen. That happened with one of my choices, BU. Yes I was upset that day but after reading this board SO comforted by so many more that had the same experience. Many who were legacy and that stings even more because you have your parents as distraught as you!! Move on, you will end up going to school and chances are you will end up being very happy. You will really never think back to this phase once you are actually in college. It truly all works out, i know it sounds like a cliche, but i do believe everyone ends up in a place that is well suited to them! Good luck, keep us posted.</p>
<p>My experience:
Day 1: Harvard, Yale: NO
Day 2: Princeton: NO
Day 3: Brown, Duke: NO</p>
<p>At this point I am dying. Then,</p>
<p>Day 4: Columbia, Northwestern: Accepted </p>
<p>It all works out in the end! And then as a transfer,</p>
<p>Harvard, Brown, Dartmouth, Duke: Accepted</p>
<p>im over it now but the thing was it was my 1st so now i have to worry "am i gonna get into a school?"</p>
<p>if my first letter was an acceptance then u know u have somewhere to go if it hits the fan...thanks though</p>
<p>rejected like a bad pick up line</p>
<p>I haven't experienced rejection yet, but I can understand how it must feel...:( . It seriously all works out in the end...I'm sure if you applied to schools you have reasonable chances with, you'll get in somewhere. Good luck!</p>
<p>My son has had to deal with two painful rejections.......thankfully some accpetances as well. One of the rejections was from one of his top choices, it stung but he is over it now and trying to focus on where he might end up going and really trying to be positive about his choices so far. I am sure you applied to some safety schools as well, and it may well be that is where you should go, tranfering of course is always an option but most kids do stay where they start,I wish you all the best.</p>
