<p>^ I’d suggest you don’t try to do this. This kind of in-depth comparison (on both ‘normal’ acceptance threads and scholarship threads) oftentimes results in the rejectees attacking the credentials of those who were accepted (in comparison to themselves), generating negative feelings all-around.</p>

They could be right or they could be dead wrong. Comparing yourself to others just encourages brooding over (perceived or real) slights.</p>
