Rejected :(

I got my letter from Spelman about 2 days ago saying that they were not able to offer me admission at this time.... I am very disappointed, because that was my first choice. The letter basically said that they had a lot of applicants and that there was not enough room for me, but they encouraged me to apply as a transfer next year...... Looks like I'm going to Hofstra University in New York, which is not an HBCU. I think I would be more comfortable @ an HBCU, which is why I really wanted to go to Spelman, although I only applied to 2 HBCUs. Has anyone else gotten rejected from the schools they really wanted to go to??

how old are you and maybe you will get lucky you never know dont give up keep trying

don't feel so bad. I got rejected from Clark. I kind of felt it coming but it still crushed me like a ton of bricks. It was my first choice but i'm gonna transfer in 2 years so........eventually i'llget there. To DSU it is...........

Aww thanks guys. I'm seventeen, and I plan on transferring there later, but I'll just have to see how I like Hofstra. And hopefully we will both get lucky 'BmoresBeauty' and get into Clark and Spelman in a couple of years.

Don't feel bad. I was rejected from Howard when I applied when I was a senior in high school. Howard was my first choice and everything. But, now I'm a freshman in college finishing off my first year at a community college. I applied to Howard again and I was accepted! So in the fall I will be transferring there. I think if you really want to go to Spelman... go to Spelman. Apply again for fall of 2008 and see what happens. Where there's a will there's a way.

Aww, thanks and congrats on getting into Howard!!

Thank you
