[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS was rejected from his top choice a few days ago.  He seemed pretty down about it Friday and Saturday.

How long does it take to shake it off and move on?[/quote]

Sorry to hear about your son’s rejection. Every person is different so hopefully he bounces back from it soon. “Everything happens for a reason” might not be comforting now, but college decision season has just started so something even better may be waiting for your DS.

Anecdotally, I was rejected from my top choice over a decade ago. It turned out to be great because I went to another university for free for two years and then transferred into the top choice that rejected me when I was a HS senior.  When I applied to graduate school, I was accepted to every university that rejected me for college. I always wondered if they pulled up my college application and compared it to my college performance. I fully got over it probably when I received all those acceptances and realized it was their loss for not realizing my potential all those years ago. [/quote]
