Thanks :). Sorry for the rant but I’ve literally cried when I had to wake up in the morning some days because I was afraid of my (what I thought was…) imminent rejection and I thought that all of the hard work I put into HS would be “wasted” (but really… how can being educated, even if you had to harder at it, be a waste?). I know many people are going to say because I got into WashU, I will probably get rejected from HYP, but I’m okay with that. WashU is a COMPLETELY different school from HYP, with a very chillax midwest environment whereas HYP is in a more competitive environment. I don’t think WashU necessarily waitlists kids who get into HYP because they simply think those kids will pick HYP. I think it’s more that the kids who are accepted would do better in an environment like WashU whereas those accepted to HYP are those who would do better there and would hence pick HYP. One’s not better than the other (although HYP is indubitably more prestigious); both will give marvelous educations to those who fit in.
