rejects here

<p>post reactions after getting the rejection letters.
the polite letters hurt most. slow and well meaning cruelty.
this is the one thing i like about the indian process : it is to the point, just selected or not selected</p>

<p>here are mine:</p>

<p>1st ----> unexpected, was ruffled</p>

<p>2nd ----> was numb after the 1st rejection, this one hit hard</p>

<p>3rd -----> completely broke down after this one</p>

<p>had a break of 4 days, was getting on fine with life. then the unexpected comes</p>

<p>4th -----> felt like crap after this reject</p>

<p>5th ----> angry, ****ed and confused at the same time</p>

<p>all rejections, no acceptances</p>

<p>Hit me hard.</p>

<p>Burn me harder.</p>

<p>Stab me hardest.</p>

<p>5 gone, 6 more to come . BRING THEM ON</p>

<p>life is a funny thing.
got another reject as i typed the earlier message.</p>

<p>6 gone, 5 more to go</p>

<p>Where have you been applying? Also dont take it all the heart. The admissions process is unfortunately quite arbitrary and random. Dont worry you’ll get your time. :)</p>

<p>here’s mine (like everything else, copied)</p>

<p>Dear Any College:</p>

<p>Having now reviewed the many rejection letters received in the last few weeks, it is with great regret that I must inform you that I am unable to accept your rejection at this time.</p>

<p>While I realize that, whatever you might read after that first sentence may be of little consolation, I would still like to clarify some points for you.</p>

<p>This year, I applied to a great number of fine colleges and universities and, of course, received many rejection letters. Unfortunately, the number of rejection letters that I can accept is very limited. It is for this reason that I was forced to reject the rejection letters of many qualified institutions.
This was not an easy task. Each rejection was reviewed carefully and on an individual basis. Many factors were taken into account, such as size of the institution, student-faculty ratio, location, reputation, cost and social atmosphere.</p>

<p>I am certain that most of the colleges I applied to are more than qualified to reject me. I am also sure that some mistakes were made, but I hope they were few in number.</p>

<p>I am aware of the disappointment that this decision may bring, for these were not easy judgments. Throughout my deliberations, I have kept in mind the importance to you of this decision. I wish it were possible to cite specific reasons for each of the determinations I have made but, frankly, it is not.</p>

<p>It was even necessary for me to reject some letters that were clearly qualified as rejections. This is surely my loss.</p>

<p>I appreciate your having enough interest in me to reject me, and, although it may seem inappropriate to you at this time, let me take the opportunity to wish you well in what I am sure will be a highly successful academic year.</p>

<p>See you all in the fall!</p>

<p>An year ago (I’m on a Gap Year now) I applied to about ten places (in the US). I got rejected from all ten. So, I pretty much know what you’re going through.</p>

<p>But trust me, it’s not going to matter (not even a bit) a year from now. Trust me, I know…</p>

<p>I even have a feeling (just a feeling) that, a year from now, you’ll feel stupid for even creating this thread.</p>
