I think what brought me down were...
- Crappy Interviews
- My personal statement [I read it over and groan with frustration]
- Going to a crazy school where only the top 20 people got into all the Ivy leagues and the rest got screwed. Seriously, if you aren't going to be in the top 5% at least, go to the easy, stupid school. Not
Yeah, can you see why I'm a bit... well, BITTER? |
