<p>Well hey, my dad tells me that if I don’t get in, then it’s their loss.
It’d suck not to, but that’s the reality of such a competitive university.
But there’s no point in getting discouraged or upset.
You did the application, did all that you can do, and it’s up to them to see the potential.
If not, then some other college will be lucky enough to be graced with your presence.
It’s hard to really “sell yourself” to a college, when as kids, we were (hopefully) raised to be humble and not boastful of the good deeds we do.
Yet when it comes time to apply for college, we’re supposed to brag about all the volunteer and activities we’ve done.
I think it takes away from the sincerity of it, since I know a tonnn of people who say “I’m only doing this so I can put it on my college application.”
I think that’s a bunch of bull. :-P</p>
