It can be depressing for students to get rejected by the college they seek admission to. They have worked hard on the last year of high school just to become a university student finally and closer to their dreams.

However, registrars who are manning the admission process confirms that the rejection got nothing to do with the ability or merits of the students. It has more to do with the intention and interests of the university.

It is now the season for high school students to decide where to apply for college. They would be interested to know vital advice as to how they can successfully land into the school that they ever want to be a part of?

One advice as per tradition but not announced is, if you can't handle rejection, apply where any of your parents graduated. If you have other plans other than that, always know that you have what it takes to fit into the right school.  

Take the case of Ben Orlin who explains why he refuses to be an alumni interviewer this year and would never enlist students anymore. Orlin wishes not to be engulfed in the process of giving students ample disappointments when rejected. Yale sends rejection letters to 94% of their college applicants.

Orlin feels to have a hand in the admissions process that is destroying the applicants emotionally just because of the misconception that they are not good enough, says NBC News

Being rejected by a college entity should be taken as if it is akin to not being accepted as a friend via Facebook friend request. It should not be as serious as getting dumped by a girlfriend or boyfriend, according to Business Insider.

The best way for universities to stop hurting prospective students is to do the selection process by lottery - then, they would know that they were not just lucky when the draw took place. Humor has it?
