Today, I was walking with a friend to tell him how excited I was for college and even motivating him to apply for the same school, until I found out later that I got rejected. FML

Today, I got a large envelope from a college I applied to earlier. My mom, expecting big news, made my family gather round as I opened it. It ended up being a letter of rejection from not just that school, but all three campuses of the state college. FML

Today, I was excited because I was going to get my college decisions back. I put all of the letters in order of my preference. Didn't get into my first choice. Denied from my second choice. Rejected from my third choice. Wait listed on my back-up. Accepted for a job at Target. FML

Today, when taking a group picture with my closest friends, a passing parent congratulated us on getting into the same university for next year. She's wrong. They're all going to Cambridge, except for me. I was rejected. FML

Today, I was accepted to college and received a scholarship equal to almost half the tuition. After sharing this news with my parents, I spent the next 35 minutes getting yelled at about how I wasn't allowed to go there because my boyfriend might go there. FML

Don't let that discourage you. A college education can be obtained from almost anywhere. Even online. Keep that healthy spirit.

Don't let it get you down, some colleges have weird acceptance policies. I graduated high school with my associate's degree, yet I wasn't accepted into UT Austin simply because I wasn't in the top 10% of my graduating class. This is due to the fact that my college courses didn't count towards my GPA, so I only had 8 classes averaged, instead of 16-20, one of which, geography, is my worst subject.

The same thing happened to me a few weeks ago, and it was my first choice. Don't let it get you down! Just keep applying and visiting schools. You'll eventually find a campus that you love.

Sorry to hear that but it happens all the time. Most people go to college these days so it's extremely competitive when you apply. Even if your grades & resume are great you aren't guaranteed to get in.
