<p>Bayrunner…that is a very thoughtful and compassionate post. I totally agree with your advice and should be well heeded by any juniors reading these forums. It makes me so sad to read some of the posts by kids that are devastated by the denials. So much of who and what you become is inside you. One may become the director of the Mars rover mission after starting at a community college or the Unibomber after going to Harvard. Both true examples. My son was waitlisted, but will most likely be moving on. Good luck everyone and be proud!</p>
