Musings on College Admissions.
Oh god, I think this quote is very appropriate:
DefenseMatrix323: i have this insatiable urge to sit in bed and eat ice cream to lament the ml tragedy
I think our whole school feels the same way. (ML, btw, for those who don't go to my school, are our school initials). Not that I'm being an ungrateful wretch for into the elusive PENN and into Wharton to boot and still feeling sad. I'm still shocked and thrilled that I actually feel more pressure to work my butt off second semester to prove that I actually deserve it cuz I've wanted to go there for so long. But, I really wish I could celebrate with my friends. Between the acceptances, or lackthereof as Kyle would say, and the slowing dawning realization that I'm not a legacy child, (WTF! How in the world am I gonna pull together their 40,000 a year? Esp. now!), it's a lot more shadows than sunlight. What's with all the deferrals and denials? I mean, we got 7 into Stanford last year. . . and now 2? It seems like ML has fallen out of the favor of colleges or something, what happened??? Now all there is left to do is keep my fingers crossed for those who haven't received their letters yet, and for regular decision people. AND! I know it sounds super corny, but I'm so blessed to get to know so many brillant people. Honestly, between school and JSA functions alone, I just have those little moments where I'm like, Wow, that was amazing and someone besides myself (namely, someone on the college admissions board) has GOT to notice that.
