<p>I took it pretty hard, even though I was expecting it all along. I saw the small letter and knew, opened it anyway, read it and thought I was ok. Then my parents called to see if I’d gotten the letter (they were out for the day) and as I had to tell them I broke down. I cried for part of the day, ate lots of chocolate, cried for part of the second day…and then pulled myself together and realized it REALLY doesn’t matter that much. </p>
<p>Now I’m super excited about all my other schools and have even received some “likely” letters/emails. I’ve been accepted at my safety and it feels good knowing that I’ll be going somewhere next year… Ultimately, I think college is what you make of it. Doesn’t matter if you’re at an ivy or at a state school…you really can make or break any situation, and I know I’ll be happy wherever I end up.</p>
<p>Do what you do when you get dumped, some yelling, talking to your fiends, wring your hands, then move on with you life by looking for a silver lining.</p>
<p>i laughed because its REALLY dumb to take this stuff too seriously.we are all just kids and this whole college thing is almost like a game. you win, you loose, whatever. at the end of the day you are who you are and it doesn’t matter if your going to harvard or if your going to community college. your toptop school that your DIEING to go to rejected you? it is their loss. you will have other options. life goes on. the end.</p>
<p>I felt really low after being rejected from my ED school, but I didn’t cry. I had gotten another acceptance on the same day so it was a very good shock absorber.</p>
<p>I just saw a Deny- Reviewed post on my online University of Illinois champaign transfer admissions report. I am a freshman trying to get out of NIU. I feel like horse sh.. I really hate NIU and I am trying to do whatever I can to get the hell out. I also have an awaiting decision at university of Iowa. If i get denied there I still would like to reapply later to both those schools. I will not stay at NIU, I will stay if I can guarantee that I have a chance to get into those schools if I wait for more hours. I am really bummed out, I have an exam tomorow in business law and I am so out of focus right now.</p>
<p>This thread is yet another reason to find a rolling admissions school and apply early. That way, the later rejections don’t hurt as much because you’re already in to a school.</p>
<p>I’ll have to go through this next year, but I don’t think I’ll take it too bad.</p>
<p>I did this. I’ve gotten 5 acceptances (UCs, privates) and 0 rejections…but the two schools that have really capture my heart…Well, every time I get a college email or letter (such as the 5 acceptances), it reminds me of how sad I will be if I don’t get into the other schools. I feel…like I’m high now and soon I will fall down in a puddle of rejections…</p>
<p>These are my thoughts every hour of the day >_></p>
