<p>I think one of the worst things about being rejected from a college is the comments from other people. I know they are trying to be nice and everything, but I really don't want to hear again and again how it is the college's loss. It gets rather annoying and does nothing to make me feel better. If anything, it makes me feel worse, because I don't want to dwell on the situation and just want to get on. So far, my rejections haven't even made me that upset, I don't even need people trying to make me feel better!</p>
<p>Do you guys agree or not?</p>
<p>Maybe people should stop fishing for compliments.</p>
<p>People can be incredibly insensitive. One young lady I know was introduced by a well meaning friend who explained, "She applied to Harvard, but didn't get in and went to _____" - and this was a year later!!</p>
<p>From personal experience, I can tell you that the doubts, disappointment, regrets, etc. may linger for a while, but will vanish completely after you show up for school in the fall. :)</p>
<p>lol maybe you shouldn't post then if you dont want responses...</p>
<p>No, I'm not referring to anyone on CC. Everyone's responses on CC are usually very intelligent, since every user knows about the college process. But adults who know little to nothing about it...</p>
<p>If you don't want sympathy, don't post rejections. It solves your problem and frees up the server. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>This can be a very good or bad time of year, depending on results. When posters are creating threads lamenting how many rejections they've received (surprise, surprise), it's no wonder posters are trying to be optimistic.</p>
<p>I think, whether or not they're fishing for compliments, people need to post their rejections. Otherwise all of the boards will be filled with acceptances. Then, when people get rejected, they'll feel as though they're alone. See how rejections help others in a roundabout way?</p>
<p>People who are down about rejections just need to be on boards with other people who were rejected as support systems. It's easier for fellow rejectees to relate and not make insensitive or monochromatic comments.</p>
<p>I don't think you're getting what the OP means....
they're talking about family/friends/relatives trying to comfort your when they find out you've been rejected, not people onCC</p>
