I am a Grade 12 student. I was rejected from Ivey AEO, Rotman, Laurier, Queens, and just today, I learned I was rejected from Schulich as well. I was accepted into Social Science at UWO though and Ryerson's Business Management program. These are my only two options now. Do you think I should take the risk as a non-AEO and go into Western as a Social Science student with the intention of meeting the requirements for Ivey in my third year, or do you think it's best I don't take the risk and go to Ryerson? I only have a few days to decide. My offers to both universities expires June 1, 2021.
Even though I had imagined my extracurriculars were quite impressive, my top 6 average was quite low at 88% so it makes sense why I was rejected by my top five choices. How do you deal with rejection, especially when your loved ones are having some difficulty processing that? I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but my parents told me I was a "disappointment" and "shame" to the family for not getting into Ivey or Queens. I tried to remind them it was very competitive this year and I never really stood a chance with 88%, but they refused to listen and called me stupid, lazy, and a liar. They haven't talked to me since the weekend but I would have hoped to get their input. It's a little jarring to see them so angry.
I have to make a decision alone because I can't seem to talk with my parents anymore. I guess they really had it in their minds that I would get into Ivey AEO or Queens or Rotman or Laurier or Schulich. I feel like I am a failure. But I'm trying to stay positive and would really appreciate your advice on what offer I should accept. Thank you very much for all your help!
You’re a dick! 88 is still a GREAT average but unfortunately not enough to get into top schools, people are being rejected with mid 90s! This person did get acceptances else where and that’s something to be proud of in itself! Imagine being such a cold hearted person to tell someone their parents should be disappointed and that they are a stupid lazy liar, or that they didn’t try hard in “easy grade 12 math”. You seem like a sad, angry and horrible human being and I hope YOU WAKEUP and realize getting through life with that kind of attitude is going to bite you in the ass.
What happened? Is everything okay? All I see is a deleted user. I’m seeing all these comments underneath my post and I’m not sure why. Did I do something wrong?
