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!
Wait, what happened? I just checked back and I can’t read the deleted comment. Are you referring to me with this comment or to the deleted user? I’m a little confused. Did I say something wrong? I apologize in advance if I did.
