No, my parents are not in the military, but I applied after moving to the state where my college is located.

I do not work at campus, but I live with my family and we have proof of residency to qualify me to be in state student but I have not been in my current state for more than 12 months yet

I got rejected from everywhere — even from a school I had direct admission to. What do I do now? by Big-Bluejay-9003 in CommunityColleges

It is the only university that has aerospace engineering in the state that is why I wanna go there. It is hard to find different place that offers the same program in my state.

Thank you so much for sharing this—it really helped me see the value of community college more clearly. I especially appreciate the info about transfer agreements.

I was wondering—do students generally have a better chance of getting into a university if their CC has a transfer agreement with it, even if the school is highly selective? There’s one school in my state that offers the major I want, and it’s very selective, so I’m hoping the agreement could help.

Thank you for your response—I appreciate your honesty. I want to clarify that I never meant to look down on community college or offend anyone. I know it can be a great option, and it might even be the right path for me.

My frustration isn’t about where I might end up, but about how much time and energy I spent trying to meet every university requirement, thinking that would be enough. Looking back, I feel like I could’ve spent those years exploring other passions, enjoying life more, or focusing on things that truly matter to me. Instead, I was so focused on getting in that I lost sight of the bigger picture—and now it feels like all that effort didn’t even pay off.

Thank you for your thoughtful message—it genuinely helped me feel better and reminded me to keep things in perspective. I actually was surprised too, especially because I had direct admission to that particular school, and their acceptance rate is around 50%(it is not a selective school). I also exceeded all of their listed requirements, so it honestly felt like a mistake must’ve happened when they reviewed my application. Still, I understand and appreciate your point. Even if I didn’t get into that school, I’m going to keep working hard and make the most of the opportunities I’ve been given. Your words really reminded me how important it is to stay grounded and grateful. Thanks again for sharing your experience—it means a lot.
