Accepted or Rejected? The Envelope Please….
Today is April 1st, the day by which colleges and universities across the land must tell their applicants of their decision: accepted, rejected, or waitlisted.
I was interviewed by Forbes.com the other day regarding my opinion about how students should handle the prospect of being rejected to their first choice school. You can read what I said on the Forbes.com site here.
But the best advice comes from students. This short video offers the best advice I could possibly give to a student whose hopes have been crushed. He’s a sophomore who has turned lemons into lemonade.
Take it from this guy…who has been there before…

What a great interview. It’s very encouraging to hear this student tell others it’s okay not to get accepted to their top pick, and his advice is just fabulous!
Thank you so much for posting this; I actually liked it so much that I blogged about it!
