<p>Ah, I am alive everyone. Thanks for all your concerns.
Parents were much concerned and advised me to stay away
from CC for some time, that is all. I have found several serious
mistakes (in fact, re doing the whole Common App. It’s not just
my SAT II scores) and currently on the clock patching them up.</p>
<p>I sometimes talk to myself going “No wonder I didn’t get in,
I missed this! and that!” but other than that I am fine.</p>
<p>However, I am afraid this may be the last thread I will ever put
up in this forum (exception of contacting my sobbing buddies)</p>
<p>But I STILL urge you Deferred/Rejected folks to HOPE.</p>
<p>Hope, my friends. And do not be afraid of failure. It is not the end.
It is only another beginning. The most horrible thing would be
to stay a failure when having been driven at.</p>
<p>Let us be grateful that we are still able to pursue our goals in
our lives. That we can still be hopeful with our willpower.</p>
<p>I leave you with my favorite quote.</p>
<p>“Boys, be ambitious. Be ambitious not for money or for selfish aggrandizement, not for that evanescent thing which men call fame. Be ambitious for that attainment of all that a man ought to be.”</p>
<p>(Goes for ladies as well!)</p>
<p>Good luck,
Jay Song</p>
<p>p.s. To all my sobbing buddies, contact me via PM sometimes.
I’ll knock in some hope and appreciation of life into you = )</p>
