National Rejection Day really lived up to its name.
At this time, almost everyone is worrying about colleges. Today definitely did not help at all. And if it did help, it only made everyone even more depressed to read multiple times something along the lines of:
"Thank you for applying to [insert name of college]. You have been a very competitive candidate. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer you a place at [insert name of college] in Fall 2008. A record number of students applied this year....."
and the letter goes on basically saying "We don't want you." in a million more words. Receiving these letters also made me wonder how some people are actually accepted with such low grades and insubstantial extra-curricular activities. Was it there essay that struck the admissions officers? What made THEM a better candidate over me?
