Well... don't give up. Ask for an appeal. Show up in person, network, try to pull strings, don't take no for an answer. Meet with admissions and ask them about transferring in as a junior. (Acceptance rates are often much higher for transfer-students than freshman, so you might have a better chance 2 years from now).

But all in all, if you try and fail...that's life! Sad but true. You win some, you lose some. It's how you react to the losses that really counts. Pick yourself up off the floor and find something new to fight for.
