4 Reasons a Rejection Letter Isn't Always the End

i agree with marcie

i went through the exact same thing last year. this year i'm at community college and i'm happy - i thought i would die! lol. but i've moved on and i'm transferring next year to a small out of town college. i'm a writer as well.

So You didn't get in

After receiving my second rejection letter today, my reaction delightfully surprised my parents. They expected me to be somber at the least, but when I saw the negative head nod from my mother, that “What can you do?” feeling rushed over me. Rather than throw myself into a panicked frenzy, I really saw this as an oppurtunity in my life to find out what I really want to do. Yeah, I’m still stuck in my home town, but college, for some reason, always seemed like more of requirement rather than a goal for me. I want to write for a living, and that’s exactly what I will do as I apply for classes at my local community college in January. When people get their rejection letters, they need to know that they’re apart of a community and not stuck in some row boat that’s stranded in a sea of despair. There are many of us and when we don’t get the results that we want, we need to hop through the nearest window that opens up. I hope, pray, and expect to have the career that I want within the next five years, college or no college. Either way, there’s going to be hard work for me to do and I’m ready to do whatever it takes.

good spirit

i like your spirits.

the whole idea is perserverance. im applying to transfer from my present college to an ivy-league school. not to mention, in high school, i wasnt exactly the smartest pea in d pod. i wasnt even in the pod.lol. but even though i was rejected from schools that i wanted to go to, i kept on and got accepted to a college

but yes, rejection shouldnt be your final blow, get up again and show them you're the one who's boss. you're the one that does the studying and the homework and the projects and essays and tests and by GOD, you'll see the reward!

NEVER give up. I admire your spirits

fashion

I got dismissed at UGA for the 2nd time, and waited a year after finishing my 3 only other classes at a community college, over the summer with an A average. I reapplied to finish my fashion degree and graduate from UGA and the committee said no. I was heartbroken. I can appeal to the President now, which I am, but this is so wrong and I am a Senior to.

you should be strong

Good advice

This article has some good advice - taking the time to appeal a rejection can make a world of difference. It shows the school that you (the student) are serious about your educational goals and are willing to put in extra effort to achieve them.

I was a terrible student in high school... So, 10 years later, when I decided to pursue a degree, I had an uphill battle before me. With a low-to-average GPA and no SAT scores to use, I was rejected by every school I applied to.However, with a little perseverance, I was able to appeal my rejection at one school and gain admission. Then I worked doubly hard to prove I belonged there - and my efforts paid off with numerous academic recognitions and several scholarships (including one to continue my education at law school).

So, as the article states, rejection letters aren't always an insurmountable hurdle. If the school you want to attend allows appeals, give it a try... The worst they can do is say 'no' - again.

what the heck

I have no idea what Zalak just said in his comment. That was the most confusing thing I ever read in my life.

4 Reasons a Rejection Letter Isn't Always the End

BY ZALAK From India.

Is the rejections in colleges are due to Mr.Obama's No-No policy to the foreigners?i herd in d news last night that the Congress is also not happy with the decisions of Obama.

actually what is the problem with the colleges?they should say the students that there is still some hope with their application rejected...they are in wait state.i think that college should specify the terms about the rejections of student that how much the student have to wait to get in the admission ..
