The Right School. The Wrong School.

Because of aggressive promotion by many schools in an effort to attract what they believe are quality students some colleges receive many, many applications. Thus many, many worthwhile students are rejected by their first choice. This leads to a general sense of disappointment which is normal following rejection. The ensuing depression resulting from this rejection and disappointment is something which needs to be addressed fully.

So here is the Planet College responses to the "right school / wrong school" dilemma:
You are in the right school, right now. There are many, many reasons that students are rejected by one college or another. Possibly the better term is "not accepted" by their first choice. If you have proceeded to a school and are now in that school you have acted wisely. Your degree or more accurately how you apply your college education is ultimately more important than the school you attend. This is often difficult to accept. Particularly if you had your sights set on one college in particular and aren't now attending that college.

You have the key to overcoming this situation by doing the best you can where you are. The only school you can do anything in is the school you are attending now. Right now. Review your schedule. Review your grades so far. Are you, in fact, doing as well as you can with what you have been given. This simple process is not easy. Being occasionally troubled by 'what ifs' is distracting and can become defeating if left unchecked. Counter this unhelpful trend by agreeing with your self that, right now, this school, this term is the best place for you to pursue your education. Let the rest, for now, take care of itself.
