Ah, Sweet Rejection

Written by admin on February 24, 2008 – 4:04 pm -

Well, I can’t say it’s any real surprise; what I can say is that it does work as a form of sobriety. Today I received a letter from U of I - the University of Illinois - saying I wasn’t accepted into their business program. This is my home state, so that doesn’t help one bit, though I can’t say it came as any surprise since I did apply a few days late. It does, however, scare me a little. If a very good yet modest school such as the University of Illinois rejects me, what about the schools I really want to go to such as NYU or Boston University. While I’ve been accepted ty Bradley, my fallback, I fear I’ll be devastated if I don’t get accepted.

I was a little suspicious about how I was rejected though. I wsa mailed a short letter. It was very blunt. “You were not accepted to our buisness program. We wish you luck…” - it went something like that.

Honestly, I never wanted to go to U of I. But if a school I don’t want to go to rejects me, what about the ones I’m dying to attend?
