As cliche as it sounds, you appreciate your efforts and move on with your other applications. And hopefully, work hard and you will get into other decent schools.

Getting rejected from your dream school stings. There’s no way around this fact. But luckily, if you follow the rest of our advice, you’ll have some really solid backup plans.
Give yourself time to process the rejection. Talk it over with friends or family members, treat yourself to something that always cheers you up, or even cry if you feel the need. (No judgment here.)
But don’t wallow. Once you’ve given yourself time to process, turn your attention to your other options. You applied to those other schools for a reason. Think about the benefits of the other schools, the opportunities they offer, what you liked about the campus or city, etc. Look through the course catalog and read up on all the interesting classes or talk to current students to find out why they love the school so much. Then start getting excited about your new opportunity!

It took me two whole years before I could get admission together with a comprehensive financial aid package. As Daniel and Lucy have mentioned, give yourself time to process the rejection and then move along with the applications.
One of the things that kept me grounded during this process was focusing intently on what it is that I wanted to achieve beyond my study experience or my admission into an International school. For me, it was experiential learning and the unique opportunity to uplevel my skillset to be job-ready and unleash my potential. Keeping my eyes on that, enabled me to become open-minded and apply for the next opportunity I could find.
Think about where you want to go, and what you want to achieve. What your goals are in the first place? And realize that your future is not situated somewhere else and is not in the future itself. Your potential is not tied to a place, it is within and is at its peak within. Remind yourself that wherever you end up going, you'll make the most out of the experience there, and still thrive!
