How to handle college rejections?

Hi all! I'm a high school junior, and I know that college rejections are a part of the process. I'm a little worried about how I'll handle them emotionally. Does anyone have any advice on how to cope with rejections and stay positive? Thanks in advance!

Hi there! It's great that you're thinking ahead and preparing yourself for the different outcomes in the college admissions process. Rejections can be tough, but it's important to remember that they don't define you or your worth. One way to cope with rejections is to focus on the positives in your life and celebrate your accomplishments thus far. Surround yourself with supportive friends and family who can remind you of your strengths and capabilities. It's also helpful to remember that many successful people have faced rejection in their lives and have still gone on to achieve great things. Keep in mind that there are many paths to success, and the college you attend is just one aspect of your journey. Don't be too hard on yourself, and remember to take care of your mental health during this time. You've got this!
