Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

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

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
Failure
Today, despite having glowing recommendations, stellar grades, and an impressive resumé, I was rejected by all 15 colleges that I applied to. No explanation or reasons have been given, and it's too late to apply to any more. FML

Today, I got an email from a Scholarship Program reminding me that they had rejected me 3 months ago. Thanks for reminding me I might not make it to college. FML

Today, I received a rejection letter from a job I desperately wanted. Yesterday, the job offer I'd been stalling on in while waiting for news about this one expired. FML

Silver lining
Today, I was excited to receive a rejection letter, because this was the first company to even acknowledge that I sent them a resume. FML

Today, I received a series of rejection letters from jobs, one after the other. Last night, I stayed up into the wee morning hours to apply to campus jobs I'm not qualified for, because I was classified as a part-time student due to an administrative error. 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

I guess the "better late than never" thing doesn't apply here...

It took then a long time deciding, obviously they were deadlocked.

But it doesn't matter, right? 6 years is plenty of time for you to get into a different college AND graduate, right?

Better still, they lost op's application and just found it when they were rearranging the place. Figured they aught to send SOMETHING. Shoulda checked the date first.

Dont fret over it Op, I say you're better off, if it takes a college that long to get back to you, then their not worth it.

but think how long they needed to decide - at least it wasn't obviously rejectable

This isn't really an fml, you surely weren't hanging on that long
