Agree with IllinoisMom.

You clearly have the determination to succeed. There is always more than one way to get somewhere. One thing that you will have going for you over some direct admits is that you will have stared a disappointment in the face and found a way around it. This is a valuable life skill and business skill. Kids who have always gotten just what they hoped for may also do well in life, but they haven’t been tested. You have and your persistence, combined with your smarts, will serve you well.

You might like to look at this Final Lecture by Randy Pausch. In which he talks about why brick walls are put in our way. http://www.cmu.edu/news/archive/2007/September/sept21_pauschGMA.shtml

Inspiring and right on point for what you are struggling with.
