<p>Unfortunately, it happens all the time and it sucks.</p>
<p>Remember, there is a certain amount of randomness in the process, no one knows why a school accepts one student and rejects another – we often see students with superior grades rejected while others with lesser statistics are admitted. So, if this happens, hopefully, the one who gets in will be supportive of the other; the one rejected will be happy for their friend, and most importantly, both should recognize that the rejection does not either reflect on your relative intelligence or worth in any way.</p>
