Feeling dejected, venting some frustration off.

I understand why you are so angry, and it’s natural to feel that way. You worked incredibly hard for what you wanted to get, but unfortunately, life is so unkind.

All I can say is the same as others; relax and focus on the positives. You’ve gotten into other great California schools that, in all honesty, can give you an amazing education and opportunities as long as you use them. California’s state schools are notorious for being the best, so use that to your advantage. And hey, if you really don’t like it, transfer out after a year or two. I’m near positive you could get in as a transfer.

That being said, try to also be a little more grateful. Yes, you worked very hard, but unfortunately did not get what you want. It is not the end of the world, and just think about all of the homeless people and orphans in India who would jump at the chance of a higher education. Things will grow better if you look at your situation, realize it really is not so bad at all, and move on with life.
