+ Show Spoiler +sorry you got rejected, unichan.

I got rejected from a bunch of colleges. UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UCLA... etc. The list goes on! I was pretty bummed about it too. My grades were pretty good, my SAT scores were pretty good... But still, not good enough by their standards. Oh well.
Then I went to a regular, non-ultra prestigious college. Then I graduated in 2 years, at age 19, with my bachelor's in business management.
Got a full time job 3 months after graduating. My current salary is a little bit more than how much it cost my parents to send me to college.
All my friends who are currently at the colleges I got rejected from are now struggling, scared shitless about trying to get a career and are buried in their student loans.
Sometimes college isn't all it's cracked up to be... So don't be too bummed.

Sorry to hear that, college apps are always so stressful..
Still better than me, I only applied to the one school I knew I was guaranteed to get into.. my home town. Literally like 10 minutes from my parents house. At least you tried! Unichan 화이팅!

Don't worry, you'll get in somewhere you'll probably love. College is what you make of it! (read: don't be an idiot like me)
also, lol CollegeConfidential... the #1 concentration of angst on the internet. It's unhealthy to go there unless you're trolling ;D

don't worry abou getting rejected early, all the top schools are fn HARD to get in, and it just gets harder every year. I applied to around 14-15 schools, got into my safeties and only 2 out of 10 reach schools... going to Cornell now and I love it got deferred->rejected EA Yale. If you've got what it takes, you'll make it in the end. and in the end, it doesn't rly matter where you go, just what you make of it.

ah don't worry! These things are always really stressful but no matter where you end up I'm sure you'll love it

Did you check the Asian box, if so I'm sorry but you made a mistake. Better to leave it blank then check Asian.
|
learn german come to germany pick any university you want be happy
might not be as prestigeous but we got plenty of asians too
|
The TL college acceptance thread is #@$!ing scary... lol
Oh well, good luck, get your applications done sooner rather than later, motivate yourself to do them! (Although I still haven't done any other than my early app... still hearing about results.)
Well, in perspective, 5 years from now none of this will really matter... hopefully...

Less time IRC, more time college apps. #nanashin has faith in you!

I was halfway through making a list of the places I've been rejected from during my life, but let's just say it was too long for TL. And also too hurtful
Cheer up, you'll get somewhere awesome, good things come to those who wait.
EDIT: Got this the first time I tried posting this + Show Spoiler +
