we have a “Wall of shame” for rejections and a “wall of pain” for waitlists. individual teachers often have a big poster in their classrooms where kids write where they got in. i personally think that it’s nice to see how many other kids got rejected from the same schools, it definitely lessens the pain of getting rejected from a top school. it makes me feel better to see all the letters together- it makes me feel like i’m not alone in the rejection world. (also, my friends and i had a rejection party, which was a blast and helped us move past the disappointment).
