<p>University of Washington.</p>
<p>I don't think it's set in yet...I saw the plain, normal envelope in the mail and knew exactly what it was. :/</p>
<p><em>pats on back</em>
WashU…I’ve heard it’s a great school, yes, but you can do amazingly elsewhere too. The adcoms know what they’re doing and for every place they accept somebody else does have to take the hit.
For major disappointments I allow myself a few days to mope and then promise myself to get back in the game. You can still kick some serious graduate school butt and another school you’ll contribute to positively, and in your own way! :)</p>
<p>I’m sorry to hear that! I’d suggest reading through any of those myriad of threads in which once-rejected-from-their-top-choice students realize that wherever they ended up is actually quite perfect for them. I think everything happens for a reason; stay optimistic until you receive your other responses! And good luck ;)</p>
<p>^^ Wash U is different than University of Washington…</p>
<p>@ OP, I hope everything works out for you in the end.</p>
<p>WashU = WUSTL I take it?
And U Washington is the one in Seattle? </p>
<p>—> You could always transfer or just go to your second choice… :D</p>
<p>Ohh. I am ignorant of the difference. I apologize. Regardless, I wish you luck in getting over this minor bump in your career. :)</p>
<p>I’ve gotten all my other decisions and I’ll be going to Cal Poly Pomona probably. I was rejected from SLO, which was my #2 school. Being rejected from your top two schools just plain sucks.</p>
<p>Well, it’s better than being rejected from your safeties…</p>
<p>Sorry to hear that! If it makes you feel any better, I got the rejection letter from UW in the mail today, too. It’s sitting next to me right now. :(</p>
<p>i got waitlisted at my dream school, WUSTL :(, i’m sorry man</p>
<p>Yeah, at least you didn’t get straight out denied at what you thought your “matches” were going to be.</p>
<p>I’m pretty much being forced to go my safety now…</p>
<p>Search function young grasshoppers! Inundate yourselves with happy stories of top students at their safety/match schools!</p>
<p>Well, I think we can all learn something from Kenneth Parcell.</p>
<p>“Everything works out for the best.”</p>
<p>You’ll discover something so amazing at whatever university you end up attending that you will shudder to think what would have happened had you not attended because you had gotten into your top choice.</p>
<p>I’m sorry you got rejected. I’m applying there next year. Don’t lose hope. You’ll shine in another university. Was it your reach or your match?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This, like most platitudes, is false.</p>
<p>Anyway, I’m sorry you got rejected. In all likelihood, you will be happy wherever you go. Best of luck in all you endeavor!</p>
<p>I’m too scared to open the envelope from UW because I’m also pretty sure I know what’s inside. I just don’t want to see it. 
I think it was my second choice…I’m not expecting much from my first choice either. But I have to wait until at least April 1 for that. I guess it would be better to just be rejected up front so I could move on with life and be able to freely pick another school without any attachments. Oh, well.</p>
<p>Maybe I’m being too pessimistic when it comes to this stuff, but I don’t like looking at those inspirational threads sometimes because I’ll probably get my hopes up only to have them crash down like [insert brilliantly crafted simile here].</p>
<p>Ahh I’m sorry to hear that. I got rejected from Washington too… yesterday =P It wasn’t my first choice, however I DID get rejected from my first choice too.</p>
<p>It sucks for about a day. The initial shock is totally awful but things get better.</p>
<p>trumpetcolor, maybe it’s a wait list notification instead… better than a rejection, right?</p>
<p>^eh…I opened it for that exact reason and skimmed it and didn’t get the impression that that’s what it was.</p>
<p>The first one kind of hurts…especially now that I have to go tell my parents so I can not go on the tour I had scheduled for next week…</p>
<p>Ah, well…I’m sure we’ll all end up happy wherever we go. I’m planning on transferring after my sophomore year if I don’t absolutely fall in love with the school I choose to attend this fall anyway. That is, if I don’t get transfer-rejected. =P</p>
<p>Yeah it really sucks getting rejected from the school you wanted to go to since 7th grade, but hopefully its for the better (meaning I will get accepted to my other first choices).</p>
