I feel inferior

Colleges value athletics too much. It’s kinda sad. And extremely frustrating for the rest of us (particularly the athletes who aren’t recruited! hah).

Remember that when you’re applying to colleges, its not YOU that gets accepted or rejected. It’s your application’s condensed and incomplete representation of you. One person isn’t better than the other based on the decision, but their resume just looked a little better. You can’t extrapolate that resume to the person’s entire character and personality- that’s what colleges try to do, and that’s why great people and great students often fall short.
