@ucbalumnus lol i think i’ve seen that generic chance thread and it definitely was the most helpful thing i’ve gotten from people around the internet so i appreciate you linking it back to me 
yes, i do go to a prep school w connections and i ranked first in my class, have high test scores, won two international competitions but i don’t know what that means compared to other students. and yet despite the stats does this mean i’m going to continue to be nervous and dilly dally on this thread despite knowing my rough answer? also yes :")
