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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, 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 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 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, when taking a group picture with my closest friends, a passing parent congratulated us on getting into the same university for next year. She's wrong. They're all going to Cambridge, except for me. I was rejected. FML
Today, I got into my dream university. I also got turned down for the scholarship and the loan that would enable me to actually go. FML
Today, I was accepted to college and received a scholarship equal to almost half the tuition. After sharing this news with my parents, I spent the next 35 minutes getting yelled at about how I wasn't allowed to go there because my boyfriend might go there. 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
Today, I sent a friend request on facebook to the only person I became friends with this semester at college. He denied me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Don't let that discourage you. A college education can be obtained from almost anywhere. Even online. Keep that healthy spirit.

Don't let it get you down, some colleges have weird acceptance policies. I graduated high school with my associate's degree, yet I wasn't accepted into UT Austin simply because I wasn't in the top 10% of my graduating class. This is due to the fact that my college courses didn't count towards my GPA, so I only had 8 classes averaged, instead of 16-20, one of which, geography, is my worst subject.

You can get degrees just by going to school? I'm in the wrong country.

It was part of a program that my area had, called the Dual Enrollment Medical Science Academy program. Basically those that were accepted into it took college courses at the local college in the afternoons, which our respective high schools counted as our high school core curriculum credits, thus allowing us to graduate from high school not only with our diploma, but an associate's degree.

Ask someone who is good at editing to help you fine tune your essay. Then apply somewhere else. Don't let it get you down!

I remember when I got rejected from some of my dream schools earlier this year. It's definitely not the end. So don't give up! :)

just apply elsewhere. the same thing just happened to me. I got a letter from UNI saying I was accepted so I told everyone, very excited etc. then got a letter rejecting me from the program I was going for. was upsetting so I just applied elsewhere and got in. everything happens for a reason. that school obviously wasn't for you.

Did you not ask them why they accepted you then dropped you I would've kicked up a drink about it

I was still accepted into the university, just not the program. so I could still go to school there, just not my program.

"Cherry on top, he decided to apply right on the spot and got an interview, only to be accepted right then and there." Look, getting a rejection letter isn't going to be the death of you. Just keep your chin up, and I hope you actually had a fall back college on your list if that was your first choice.

Don't worry, I'm sure you can find somewhere else! And even if not, it's not always all it's cracked up to be. I found that out the hard way.
