Depending on the college that you're applying to - chances are that this school only accepts some percentage of the applicants who applied. At a school like Harvard or Yale, only 1 out of every 10 applicants is accepted for admission. At a school like Pepperdine or Tufts, only 1 of every 4 applicants are offered admission. At a school like San Diego State, or Tulane, half of the applicants receive an acceptance, and at a school like Texas A&M and Old Dominion, almost 3 out of 4 get in. Schools like West Virginia and Kent State University accept almost everyone who applies.
When a school makes its admission decisions, they'll immediately send out acceptance letters to some students, and they'll notify other students that they have been placed on a waiting list. Schools know that most students apply to multiple schools (you should, too!), so they realize that only some percentage of the accepted applicants are actually going to accept the invitation to enroll. They try not to accept too many applicants, because they don't want more admissions than they have room for. Once the acceptances start to come back, they'll dip into the waiting list if it seems that they'll have room for more students. Sometimes many people on the wait list get accepted, sometimes no one does.
Rarely, a school will offer you admission, but for a later semester. You'll sometimes hear that a school said "we'd love you to come here, but we can't take you until the spring." Some schools do that - most don't.
Once a school has pretty much filled out its new freshman class, the applications from the non-accepted and the applications from the accepted students who chose to attend elsewhere are discarded. In some cases, the files may be held for institutional research. Schools are always studying their admissions process, trying to get a better handle on the characteristics that predict successful college performance. Files of accepted students may be compared to files of students who were not offered admission as part of the admissions research process. Similarly, files of admitted students who decided to enroll are often compared to files of admitted students who elected to enroll elsewhere, so that the school can get a better understanding of why they successfully attract some students and not others.
I'm not sure if you're hoping that a school might hold onto your application, and maybe accept you later, or you're hoping that the school burns your application, so that you're not embarrassed that you didn't get in. Either way - no - there's no way that a school can maintain the files of all of the hundreds of thousands of students that apply every 5 to 10 years. Once you're rejected, you'll almost always need to apply again from scratch.
Good luck - I hope that helped.
but not terrible.How about a makeup course?
