Since when is UW-Madison a bad option? It’s a great option! Many Fortune 500 CEOs went to UW-Madison. I understand you are upset because you didn’t get in where you wanted; it sucks to have your dream crushed. But when one dream ends, another begins. Maybe you thought an Ivy was the place for you, but what if UW-Madison is the true place for you? I’m sure you can be just as happy at UW-Madison than you would be at an Ivy, maybe even happier. And all those ECs and APs weren’t for naught. You learned from them and matured as a person. The journey is your reward.

You’ve got your whole life ahead of you. Is it really worth it to risk becoming addicted to drugs just because you’ve run into a few setbacks? Perservere, overcome these obstacles and setbacks.
