Documenting my College Admissions Process as a URM

I’ve been trying to keep my acceptance on the low, but my friend comes into class screaming about my acceptance which causes the whole class to go insane and I was getting hugs and people were screaming. @-) but this girl who I used to be friends with had her head down the whole time. A little background, She hates me because I came back to my old school district and started to outshine her in all the classes we have together (all the competitive people left the district so it was really easy to stand out and be at the top of the class when I came back). I’ve noticed she’ll start to make snarky remarks to me and about me. Like when we got our quarter assessment grades back and I got the highest grade she was like “What? Her?!” Which doesn’t even make sense because I’ve always had the highest grade in that AP class since day 1. Nobody was surprised but her. So after everybody found out about my acceptance, people started to ask where she was applying to. She said she was going to community college so she wouldn’t waste thousands of dollars at some big Uni (which was obviously aimed at me)(she sounded completely psycho and upset). But my friend who announced my acceptance backed me up and stated that they cover a lot of the cost and give you a lot of aid if you can’t afford the tuition. She proceeded to say, “well maybe I should just apply to some random university like Harvard or something and get in there.” Some other girl in my class said," you probably wouldn’t get in." (Which is extremely rude but I appreciated it because the girl was being so rude to me). The girl just had her head down for the rest of the class. I’m glad my classmates had my back, but it sucks that people act like that. Even another girl who is applying to Cornell was genuinely happy for me. But that girl who wasn’t even applying was so rude…
