Today, I got a large envelope from a college I applied to earlier. My mom, expecting big news, made my family gather round as I opened it. It ended up being a letter of rejection from not just that school, but all three campuses of the state college. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got 3 different rejection letters mailed to me from the same college. FML
Today, I received a rejection letter from a college that I'd applied to 6 years ago. FML
Today, I was accepted to the college of my dreams. Then I checked the address. Turns out, the letter was meant for my neighbor. I was actually denied. FML
Today, my mom called and told me I got accepted to my first-choice college. I got really excited and asked her to read me the letter. As she started to read it, she said, "Oops... uh, nevermind." FML
Today, I received yet another rejection letter from a college I'd applied to. After crying for a week about how lousy I felt, my older sister gave me all 6 of the acceptance letters she'd been hiding. Turns out she's been forging rejection letters and keeping the real ones in her room. FML
Today, I found out that my dad, thinking it was an advertisement, threw away a letter from the college I applied to. FML
Today, I was excited because I was going to get my college decisions back. I put all of the letters in order of my preference. Didn't get into my first choice. Denied from my second choice. Rejected from my third choice. Wait listed on my back-up. Accepted for a job at Target. FML
Today, I was walking with a friend to tell him how excited I was for college and even motivating him to apply for the same school, until I found out later that I got rejected. FML
Today, I was cleaning my father's study room and wondering why I did not receive my acceptance/rejection letter from a college I really wanted. I found the acceptance letter, on his desk, also approving of a full scholarship. The deadline to confirm was a month ago. FML
Today, I received another letter of rejection from the university of my dreams. I got it the first time, but thanks for reminding me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

If the rejection letter comes in a big envelope, I'd hate to see how the acceptance letter arrives. Maybe an owl delivers it?

At least your mom and the rest of your family believe in you. Don't worry.

I'm sorry you didn't get in, OP. I'm currently working on getting to the university of my dreams, and I'll be equally devastated if I don't get in. I hope you find somewhere else!

Send out applications everywhere, even if it's not a college or course you thought of frequenting before or in a state you thought about moving to. It's easier to transfer colleges than getting in, at times. I got rejected twice to all colleges i applied before i decided to apply to similiar courses to the one i wanted, in colleges from North to South of my country (much smaller than yours but still, everywhere). Not only did i get in, i got in um more than one college. So keep it very strategic, spread out and good luck OP!

I feel sorry for you OP. Sucks that you have to live in a country with an education system like that.

I guess the college ran out of small envelopes? I wouldnt want to goto school there... if they cant keep office supplies what makes you think they can teach you...
