What should a student do if he is not selected in a college?

Answer 1

Don't give up! Not being selected by a college can be frustrating, embarrassing and painful. All of this is part of the lifelong maturation process. How you handle rejection can reveal important character traits (like tenacity, discipline, and personal strength). By the way, save those rejection letters, when you finally succeed you can use them as symbolic building blocks in your own life that may help encourage another struggling person in the future. Find Out Why? What is the basis upon which it was determined that you would not be selected? You need to understand the gap between your profile, and the average profile of those candidates who were selected, if any. That then would be an area of focus in a followup application effort next year. This information can also be very valuable as you apply to any other educational program now or in the future. By the way, it is a great idea to simply call and ask why you weren't selected. I was once rejected by a graduate program. I phoned and inquired as to the reasons, and the net result was that I was admitted. That same year. Be honest with yourself. Sometimes we are rejected because subconsciously we don't really want to go to college at all. We are capable of self-sabbotage for any variety of below the surface reasons. Make sure your dreams are your own and not someone else's instead. You will need that personal passion and sincere longing for achievement in order to complete the ordeal beyond the inevitable rough spots. Know this in advance, there is no level of bewilderment higher than finishing an ardent journey only to realize that you really did not want to do it in the first place. Open your mind to all the opportunities available to you. Make sure YOU choose your direction.
