how to get over sixth form rejections.

So there's this sixth form I really really wanted to go to. It seemed like the perfect place for me and I was definitely sure that I would get in. However I get placed on the waiting list. Said sixthform is really difficult to get in for the subjects I chose and there are like 1000s of people on the waiting list, so getting placed on the waiting list is practically a rejection. How do you get over this rejection? I think I was grieving for a whole week after hearing the news; i was so entirely sure I would get in and somehow didn't, maybe due to grades, subject choices, I dont know. I still hope that somehow on results day a miracle will happen and they'll let me in, but I know it's impossible.

I don't know how to get over it - as in I still imagine going there and studying there in the classrooms. my friend recently went to the open day for offer holders and got like sixthform materials and stuff and I just cannot go more than a few minutes without thinking about how that could have been me. And it's not just that; I feel like people around me no longer see me as competent because of my inability to get into this sixth form. I've emailed the sixth form once or twice but don't want to ruin my chances of being considered on results day. I just wanted to ask if there's any way I can increase my chances (or otherwise, any way I can forget about the sixthform).

Focusing on a new place is my only suggestion. A big thing to remember is that you’re only there for a year and a half. It doesn’t feel like anywhere near as much of your life as secondary does.
