Hi everyone. Last year I got rejected and spent a full week crying every day. I had no backup plan aside from SLP. I knew from the bottom of my heart that it was the only thing I wanted this much.
Rejection HURTS. But you are stronger than a rejection. You just survived a pandemic, got into University for undergrad, and did so many incredible things that you might have forgotten about them, but at one point you dreamed of them.
I want you to know that I believe in you. When I got rejected so many people told me to consider other options. If you truly & deeply want SLP then screw everyone who doubts or doesn’t believe in you because I DO.
When I finished mourning my rejection, although I had graduated uni, I went back to school and did ELEVEN additional courses to get my GPA up while volunteering for an SLP & working at a job to support myself. It was not easy but I knew that this was what I wanted.
This year I was accepted by UOFT and McMaster and rejected by Western.
If you didn’t get in, just know that you are loved and you are a POWERFUL individual and ultimately you WILL get what you want - whatever it may be. Believe in yourself. Be kind to yourself. A rejection DOES NOT DEFINE YOUR WORTH. And know that even though I may not know you I believe in you too.
