Edge Tip:
Getting a rejection letter from a college can be quite a devastating blow. Learning your first choice college does not want you can be heart wrenching. Try to ease the blow by turning the tables and writing a “Reject the Rejection” letter. Refer back to it as needed. See sample below and write your own “Reject the Rejection” letter.

I am excited I will be able to make contributions at a college such as xxxxx. I plan to take advantage of the following programs on the campus I attend:

I am sorry that it won’t be at your campus, but I know I can still be successful as a student at any of the colleges I have been accepted to.
