First, try to remember that this is not a personal rejection, these schools don't know you as a person and are not rejecting you as an individual. Try telling yourself that not only does this mean that school was not going to be a good fit, but that you are being guided to the right fit. Make a list of all your best qualities and read it each time you get one of 'those' letters. Applying to schools is stressful, but again, try to remember this is not personal and that you will indeed find the right school!

Many things are out of our control; its important to acknowledge the potential for all kinds of opportunities and possibilities; dont dwell too much on the negative, be optimistic and assertive in light of pursuing what you desire, try, try again. If not, move forward, be the best you, you can be.

Rejection is a tough thing to go through, you might loose your self esteem in the process. Just always make sure to realize that no one has the right to make you feel unworthy in life. Its your life and always be in control of it.

For me, honestly it would be to continue studying as much as I can and try to improve on what I'd done previously. I'd want to try to do more things that would make me more elligable to get in the schools. You could think of it more of as an "I'm not ready" thing instead of an "I've failed" sort of thing.

Realize that while rejection stings, if it was meant to be you would be going to that school. Remember that there are several schools and not all the doors stay closed, and that you could ask for ways to improve so you can get into a school.

Staying positive. Acceptance. And your strong determination towards your goal. Don't let schools dictate your overall capacity towards education. Be bold to strive better whether you got accepted to a great school or just an average school (no such thing as a bad school).

Rejection from schools feels very personal, and you can feel upset about it. That's normal and understandable. It might be hard to accept, but you don't want schools that don't want you. Sure, they may have great academics or beautiful campuses, but at the end of the day, you need to go to a school that wants you for who you are. Know that you will get into the program that is right for you and that even if you aren't excited about where you are going, it will get better once you get on campus.

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
