My first unsuccessful application

[starsthatshine]

Edinburgh just rejected my application.

I'm a little bit bummed, but not entirely heartbroken. I know that regardless of where I end up, I will make my best to learn, which is essentially why I'm there. What bothers me most perhaps is that I don't have a reason for the unsuccessfulness of my application which is perhaps the most bothersome. I don't think I'm sad, but I guess I'm disappointed in a way. But I know I did my best so to be honest there was really nothing I could do.

But so far my status goes:

Aberdeen - English (Conditional)
Dundee - English (Conditional)
Edinburgh - English Literature (Unsuccessful)
Glasgow - English Literature (Conditional)
St Andrews - English (Acknowledged)

So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that St Andrews will accept me into their programme, but even if they don't, I'm perfectly content going to Glasgow.

Aw, hun. That sucks. I'm sure everything will work out in the end, though.

Aww, I'm sorry. :( I got rejected by my first choice college too, last year, and I was pretty upset. I know how you feel about not knowing the reason for the rejection - here in the U.S. most colleges just tell you that there were a large amount of talented applicants and that they couldn't have room for everyone.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you as well! Though I'm sure everything will work out - I mean, I'm here at the college that definitely wasn't my first choice, but now I can't imagine being anywhere else.

I'm so sorry, but I am sure everything will work out in the end. You have many other options, still, so be proud of that!

&hearts I'm sorry to hear that. Try not to get too bummed at rejection letters; as long as someone wants you, that's all that matters. I was rejected by my three top choices with no explanation, so you're not alone. &hearts

I'm sorry, honey, but I PROMISE you'll be happy wherever you end up. I had to go to my second choice school because of financial reasons, and even though it took a few weeks to totally get on board, I absolutely love it here and couldn't imagine going anywhere else.

It'll all work out, lovey.♥

I'm sorry about that, it can be quite frustrating but don't let that get you down, you have other offers, and I'm sure it'll all work out for you in the end. At least you have a chance to do what you want after all :)

Sorry to hear that Edinburgh rejected you application :( Perhaps you could email/call and ask them later on why your application was unsuccessful? Maybe they'll disclose the reason to you. But in the end, it's their loss, they could've had a kick-ass student in their department :P

Yay for the others though! Best of luck with St. Andrews!

You gave it a shot and have other great options. Keep your head up!

Oh dear, well, at least you have those other applications to look forward to! *hugs*
