<p>TheIndividual, I feel the exact same way. I’m going to keep working at this and show them that I belong at Chicago. Of course, I’m going to also do all my other apps now… but Chicago will be, as soon as I get those out the door at least in a week or two, my main focus. After I sent in my EA app, I just sat back and waited… now I know that won’t get me anywhere, so, even though I’m horrible at selling myself, I’ll do whatever I can.</p>
<p>I’m not actually that worried about my future – I think I can get in RD. It’s just that everyone who got in is so happy and excited and it’s all over for them, they’re in, it’s DONE. And we’re still here, waiting, unable to join in. We can’t celebrate, and we were all hoping to. I know we’ll all end up at good schools, even if they aren’t Chicago. I just wanted to get into college.</p>
