Today, I was rejected from the college of my dreams. I am now the only kid in 5 generations on my dad's side and 3 on my mom's to not get accepted and go to this school. FML

Yes you're correct! But let me Somme a little light on the subject(warning my reply includes religion so if you're just going to hate....just don't read this!) Where I live there are two big universities that are well known and both are some of the top ranking schools in the United states. That's why my family has been going there for a long time, and the reason why I was hoping to be able to attend said school (plus their soccer team was interested in me).This school is very difficult to get into, and well not to toot my own horn, I easily had the after school activities and grades to get into said school. After praying about why I wasn't accepted I received the distinct impression that I need to go to the other school because I am needed there for some reason....so well I guess I'll see what that means some day. Luckily I also applied to this second school because out of the two this one has a better medical school, which applies more towards my major of choice. I also have scholarships at this second school so that's a bonus. So in the end I guess everything ends a lot better then expected.

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.

sounds like it's the college of your family's dreams. there are plenty of reputable universities out there, don't think you have to go there just because everyone else did.

Sorry OP but maybe do a year at community college and have time to work on everything you may have been lacking. Then transfer the year after. Best of luck!

Should've studied harder in high school if that meant so much to you and your family...

Time to create a new legacy OP! When one door closes, another one opens. It can be hard to see the opportunities at first, but never forget that you are still full of potential, regardless of the institution at which you study at. Best of luck with all your future endeavours! :)

What's the point of doing the same thing for every family member? You're all individuals, so you should follow different paths and not be forced into the same one. I think it's fine that you finally broke that cycle, because it may have confined the dreams of a future family member who didn't want to attend that college.

Oh, 5 generations, 3 generations... that feels stale. Maybe time for some fresh winds?

It sounds like your family is pressuring you to go to the school because it's the one they like, not the one you like. I'm sure you'll find another good school, and they'll get over it. Some people are good at different things.

What college?

BYU, by the sound of it. Better to stay away from that brainwashing, anyway.

if they wanted to go to byu they are already in deep with the church....so it's already done and they believe what they believe.

#42 eh....I wouldn't call it brain washing.....everything is based on freedom of choice ...so it's definitely not brainwashing but hey to each their own.

When you get older, you may come to realize that the choices you've made have been profoundly shaped by the indoctrination you received throughout your youth.

So both sides of the family went to that school.... Are you sure its your dream, and not theirs? There are many universities that are good
