Really Depressed. Someone help me please.

<p>I don’t know what to do. I applied to CUNY schools as a back up. I didn’t even apply to their honor programs. I got rejected from CCNY which average GPA is an 86 or around there. My GPA is weighted, a 3.8. I was rejected also from Hunter College and Barauch. I feel so ashamed because my GPA and test scores are well over the average accepted. I know people who got accepted with a lower gpa, NO EC and crappy test scores. I don’t know what to do. MY extracuriculars are crazy good and I have over 300 hrs of community service. my essay was so unique too. If I got rejected from my safety school, I don’t even know what imgonna do on april first.</p>

<p>its tough to get denied, but you can’t equate a denial one place with certain denial somewhere else. there’s many different variables that come into play with your application at each college you applied to. hang in there, stay positive.</p>

<p>I would ask your counselor to call the schools and ask why you were rejected. Something is not making sense here if your stats were all above average.</p>

<p>Take a deep breath and know everything’s going to be okay. It sounds like you have a lot going for you - maybe you were just too qualified. I’ve heard of students getting rejected from safety schools and yet they get into some bigger name place - maybe the college just didn’t think you’d ever actually attend so they just denied you instead. Or maybe there’s some other random variable none of us will ever know about - I swear college admissions offices use this time to torment us at least a little bit (I got to spend a week bickering with one college over my essay because they thought it was far too dark and disturbing - trust me, it wasn’t that bad and yet my app was essentially frozen until we got it sorted out). </p>

<p>In short, it’s a crazy process and sometimes it’s going to suck - this is one of those times and I’m sorry about that. But it’s not the end and I have every confidence you’re going to get into somewhere great and you’re going to have a blast over the next four years.</p>

<p>Good luck and best wishes!!! :)</p>

<p>You have gotten some good advice. The admissions process is a crap shoot, but I would surely ask your counselor to give a call and see what happened. Many something wasn’t sent in your application and if there are other applications out there if could be corrected? Hang in there!!</p>

<p>Thank you so much guys. It means a lot…I seriously will never understand college admissions process. I will definately let my counselor know…it’s so hard. im hoping for the best. thanks again</p>

<p>Im the same way… Got rejected from University of buffalo, Buffalo state, Niagara University, its all balls. Then i see people who have lower gpa’s getting accepted and its like… *** ?</p>

<p>its okay! you can still have hope for other schools. i got rejected from state schools as well :frowning: like cuny but chill!</p>

<p>It could be that they think you’re overqualified.</p>
