Hi guys. Well, I am feeling quite sick with anxiety right now, but I just wanted to extend my thanks and good luck to you all.

There are some truly incredible people on CC, and you guys have helped me to accept my 3 rejections so far. I’m an international applying for financial aid, so my chances are almost non-existent, but its good to see that the competition really does deserve their places, and I applaud all of you who have gotten into Duke/MIT/UC Berkeley and other colleges. Well done!

As for the decisions coming out tonight and tomorrow, well, everything that could be said has been said. These are the toughest institutions in the world- draw strength from the fact that often its not about ‘you’, its about the college which you are applying for. People make mistakes, and after all, its all about the fit. You will (and this is something I have only just started believing) be happy wherever you end up. Also, college isn’t going to stop you from achieving what you are destined to achieve.

Wrapping up here: be strong, be merry, think of those who aren’t so lucky if you get in, and I hope you have a good last few months at school.

Peace, and much love.

Will
