<p>Hey- It could be worse. I was rejected. Do I have any idea why? No. Did I think I was a competitive applicant? Yeah. In fact, I thought I had as great a shot as one can expect to have at getting into a school like Yale. You still have a chance (albeit a small one). I don’t. Don’t get too upset. At least Yale didn’t tell you you were actually a subpar applicant they absolutely did not want as they did me (since only 40% were rejected)</p>
