If you’ve been rejected from college, there are a few things you can do to cope. First and foremost, remember that it’s not your fault. Colleges are looking for a certain type of student, and you may not fit that bill. Don’t take the rejection personally. It’s just one piece of the puzzle in the admissions process.

If you’re feeling down about the rejection, try to take some time for yourself. Spend time with your friends and family, do something you enjoy, and ensure you care for yourself. Maintaining your spirits when feeling down can be difficult, but spending time alone can help you clear your head and devise a plan for the future.

If you’ve been rejected from more than one college, getting ahold of yourself is important. You may feel overwhelmed by the process, and the rejections may add to your stress. However, taking time for yourself can help you refocus and better understand what you want from college.

If you feel like you need some help, a few resources are available to you. Your school may have a counselor or therapist to help you with rejection. There are also support groups available, both online and in person. These groups can provide you with a space to discuss your experiences and offer advice on moving forward.
