Why does it hurt so much?

<p>Let me just start off by saying that today was by far the longest day of my life. Every class period felt like hours as I just stared at the clock waiting to get out of school to check my decision. I was so nervous and everything, but as soon as I saw the "...we regret to inform you" bit it was all over. I couldn't help but to just cry.</p>

<p>It wasn't that Tufts had always been my first choice, but after visiting two times, sitting in on a class, and talking to some students, I knew this was the place I wanted to be. It's weird because I really didn't care too much about my Hopkins rejection that came a few days ago, and I won't care too much when I get rejected from Brown in a couple hours eiter. My rejection from Tufts just hurt so much more.</p>

<p>I'll probably be headed off to BU next year, and it's not that I don't want to go there, it's just that I wanted to go to Tufts a lot more. I just feel like 4 years of work went down the drain. The 4 schools that I got into, I probably could have been accepted to without preparing for the SATs that much and going the extra-mile that I did. It's like I waited so long to get these decisions, and in such a short amount of time, it's all over. Just like that.</p>

<p>I really wish there was something that I could do, but I guess not. Maybe it was just meant to be? I really don't know and I don't want this thread to be pity thread or anything. I just needed to get all of that off my chest.</p>

<p>Finish off your senior year well, do well your first semester, and transfer.</p>

<p>I’m truly sorry for you. I feel for you.
But I agree with the person above, and you will go far in life, because you did work hard for it. Eventually, you’ll get what you deserve. Best of luck and I hope all will work out for you.</p>

<p>I’m sorry–I got my first rejection a few days ago and it stung so much as well. </p>

<p>And don’t knock off Brown just yet…maybe you’ll hear good news within the next hour! Never say never.</p>

<p>It seems like you’re a real hard worker–don’t lose that, it’s worth a lot more than whatever college you end up attending. :)</p>
