Hey everyone! I'm a junior and I'm starting to think about college admissions, but I'm really worried about the possibility of getting rejected from my top-choice school. How did you all handle rejection, and do you have any advice for coping with it? Thanks!
Hey there! It's totally normal to be worried about college rejections, especially when it comes to your top-choice school. First, remember that rejection is a part of life, and it doesn't define your worth or potential. When my child faced a rejection from their top-choice college, we focused on the positives of the other schools they were accepted to. It's important to remember that there are many great colleges out there, and you can have a fantastic experience at any of them. To cope with rejection, you can reach out to friends or family for support, and try to take your mind off of it by engaging in your hobbies or doing something you enjoy. If you're still feeling down, consider talking to a counselor or therapist for some guidance. Ultimately, it's about finding the right fit for you and making the most of the opportunities available. Best of luck with your college admissions journey!
