<p>Hi supersmartguy1, </p>
<p>What you said about your mom sounds like my mom. I recently got rejected for a very big scholarship after being selected as a finalist, and my mom started yelling at me about how I’m not deserving of the scholarship… which is obviously the last thing anyone needs to hear after being rejected. :/</p>
<p>Anyway, I’ve gotten both acceptance/award & rejection letters. I admit that I’m still bitter about the scholarship organizations that rejected me, especially because I know some of the recipients personally. I try to deal with rejection by thinking positively and knowing that getting into college itself is a big accomplishment in its self and remembering the organizations & people who HAVE believed in me and supported me. </p>
<p>And of course, ice-cream and watching comedy tv shows/movies always helps too.</p>
