I've just received my first rejection from Wake Forest as well. Sad that it came so early in the game...but the bright side is...I passed both Iowa and VCU!! I am sure everyone here has been rejected at least some time in their life, either in relationships or job interviews. But no matter what happens in the future, we should all realize that being rejected is a large part of the application process, and it is a part of life if you would like. It not only makes us grow stronger emotionally, but also teaches us to treasure the acceptances that we will all have by next year August. If we know how hard it is to get there, we will do our best to protect it...
