The problem isn’t “American education”, @mistabeanzz, the problem is thinking that only “dream school” is acceptable. Not everyone can go to an Ivy or UCLA. Even well qualified applicants are turned away every year by that precious handful of institutions. So what? There are thousands of colleges and millions of happy successful people who didn’t go to prestigious colleges but still managed to create the lives they wanted. You can re-frame your situation by thinking beyond college to the adult you want to become. Do you want to be a person who defines success so narrowly, and complains because that path is difficult?
