Post-Rejection Hope With Cappex
College letters of acceptance and denial are starting to float. Today’s Chicago Tribune even publishes some actual rejection letters sent out by colleges. They all try to be pleasant, some even oddly complimentary, but fancy words can be of little comfort when you get what amounts to a big “No.”
Don’t let these letters get you down. Remember: More than 70 percent of colleges accept more than 70 percent of students. There is a college out there for you. Take for example this story we heard from a counselor, about a student who was without an acceptance in mid-May of last year:
“Last year I had a senior that was still without a college acceptance in mid-May. I suggested Cappex.com and two weeks later she had three offers and accepted one that she and her family were very excited about.”
So if your rejection letters have you worried, keep checking back on Cappex. Colleges, especially those with rolling admissions, may still be contacting you in the Cappex message center. Log-in to see which colleges want you.
If you have been accepted to one or more of your college choices, let us know! Share your accomplishments! We’d love to hear which schools have earned your attendance.
Cappex is dedicated to helping students find the perfect college fit.

Yes I was rejected from CSU Long Beach and University of The Pacific and my only hope was CSU Sacramento, I was very worried becuase I did not qualify for application fee waivers so I did not apply to very many colleges, fortunately I was accepted to CSU Sacramento in March and I have been visiting this site ever since

Hi,
My question is do you add colleges to “do I have a chance”? I see you have 3,118 colleges. How do I know if you add other choices? I have scanned the entire list and submitted to my choices. I have gotten information from some too. Thank you.
