Probablly the selliest thing you'll ever here .. But would it be useful ??

Applying to College
1

<p>Hello CC, </p>

<p>Iam a high school Senior, I applied to my top-Choice which I have been preparing for in the past 3 years, but I was -very sadly- rejected last Thursday. </p>

<p>When my really great friends knew about this, they decided to do something for me. They decided to make a video talking about me and how I worked hard and that i'm very passionate about this college, also they decided to Sign a petition and let all the teachers sign it and try to get as much signatures as they can from the whole school, neigborhood ,and town ((we live in a really small town)) that they want admissions to reconsider my application. </p>

<p>I've been trying to tell them to stop it and i've been telling them it is going to be useless but they still insest and they keep saying trying would never hurt. </p>

<p>I really don't mean to sound arrogant, but i'm very known in the school for being the best student in the school, and alot of people in my community know me. </p>

<p>My question is, could this whole thing be useful in any way?? Or will it affect me badly somehow as iam planning to reapply next year ?? Thoughts ?? </p>

<p>I know the question is so stupid and I sound like a tottal crazy person but seriouslly I need your thoughts about this. </p>

<p>Thnx (:</p>

<p>This is very sweet of your friends, but it isn’t likely to change the minds of the admissions officers. </p>

<p>If you would like some feed-back on your application, ask your guidance counselor to call the college. Sometimes they can learn if there is anything particular that was wrong with your application.</p>

<p>It is sad that your dream school rejected you. But truly, this is like being rejected by a “dream date”. Give yourself a bit of time to feel sad, and then go out and make an even better reality for your self.</p>

<p>If you were wait-listed, you might have a shot at impressing the adcoms with an unusual approach to getting off the wait list (especially if that includes a call from your GC) - but a flat out rejection means that nothing is going to change. On the other hand, it won’t hurt either and it’s certainly very sweet of your friends to rally around you. Perhaps you can suggest instead that you all have a party to celebrate where everyone is going - wear your school colors and sweatshirt, bring the mascot (toy form), and make it an occasion to be excited about the future instead of stuck on the past.</p>
