Sidney, you did not fail! There are a certain amount of spots open and a crap load of Sidneys applying. Like I said, this is life - adult life, up until now, you pretty much got to choose your destiny. Now, others, complete strangers that you may never meet, have a say in your life. I applied to a number of colleges and was not accepted at a number, one that I was really hoping for. Fortunately, there were backups. You applied to one school. Your odds of being accepted went way down.
You are not a failure, you really aren't. You're a good kid, with a good head on your shoulders. Things will work out.
