Thanks for your thoughtful response, astrophysicsmom. I just re-read my ED essays + deferal essays and have got to say, I was really proud of the way they turned out. There was a bit more feeling in them than I remembered and they were just overall well crafted. I guess I feel somewhat better? Instead of feeling inadequete, I just feel sort of hosed by the outcome. It’s really a …gee what else on earth could i have done?

I remember when I was 6-7 years old, I went to a sports camp sponsored by my dream school. On one afternoon, we spent 1/2 hour in a building watching film. At the end of it, a representative from the school came and did a little admissions pitch for the school (get em lovin your school while they are young, i guess). I remember him say “We look for students who work hard in the school. So that means try to get A’s and B’s”. I was so excited when I came home after the camp. Maybe my problem was I didn’t try to get any B’s. ;)
