<p>so one of my best friends just got rejected from her top choice...which also happened to be one of my top choices. we werent planning on going together or anything..we just really happened to like the same school.</p>
<p>anyways..two days ago i got into the school. she was at my house when the letter came. and today she got a rejection letter. she is generally a very emotional person, and it hit her hard. she was really in love with the school and she didnt really want to go anywhere else.</p>
<p>so she is at my house again right now [we are leaving, with four other friends, for tahoe tomorrow morning] and she is being really quiet. she said that nothing will make her feel better..and she realllly doesnt want to talk about it. she said she will punch anybody who mentions college..which is understandable. but is there anything i can do? has anybody been in a similar situation..on either end? what helped? what didnt? thanks!</p>
<p>Just don't say anything at all. You know u don't want to make it worse by showing your pity though I know u care about ur best friend very much. Treat her normally to boost up her ego and don't mention anything college-related is always wise in those touchy situations. The bottomline is that you should not make her feel inferior to you in anyway, ie by talking about her rejection, or talking about what other choices she has. Talk light subjects.~</p>
<p>Did she apply to more than one school? If she did, tell her that if this particular school doesn't want her business (since her parents will most likely be paying for her education), to forget them and take herself and her parents' money to a school that will be happy to have her as a student. Also, don't worry about you and your friend not being able to attend the same school, if you two are truly friends, then being separated will not kill your friendship. Plus there's always Facebook :) .</p>
