<p>Uh, yeah, as drpvv mentioned, I meant to try your best towards the meaning of the application, not adding unnecessary fluff to the application.</p>

Though, even after achieving a significant amount, it’s heartbreaking to know that that simply wasn’t enough in the sense that, not because the competition wasn’t enough to get into Stanford, rather that I, as a person, wasn’t enough to get into Stanford, even though I’ve tried my best to show them who I am.</p>
