I just received my first rejection letter 
They said that they couldn’t admit me because they weren’t able to give me financial but also said that I was “qualified”.
With a rocky start like that, I’m anxious to know where else I’ve been rejected
Somethings we just can’t know. Sorry about your rejection but don’t be so down on that, I’m sure that other schools loved you, gave you FA and would love to take you in!
Don’t let that get you down. We had acceptances from schools with no FA so it might as well been a rejection. We still ended up at a great school and had acceptances from others with FA needed. You’ll end up at a great school.
@ephimerally it only takes one school to make your dream come true. Hugs!
A rejection can also mean “we think there is an even better place for you out there… a place where you will be even happier…” AOs are good at sensing fit. This is not about whether or not you are good enough. Chin up. It also could just mean "Our FA budget is really stretched right now. Remember: Some of CC’s biggest stars got into their dream schools on their second or third try (@Atria, @stargirl3). Trust that things will work out!
Hang in there. I’m with @buuzn03 on this one. Best of luck!
