<p>There is something truly wrong if you and other students are working solely to get into one school in the world or the very few schools that have very low acceptance rates. Just by definition, the vast majority of you are going to be rejected. Most everyone who applies to school like Yale is qualifed to go there. So most of those rejected are still top flight students and the work they have done is going to prepare them well at any number of colleges. Just maybe not Yale. Your highschool and your labors were not to funnel you into Yale. They were to prepare you for college, work and life. There are about 3000 colleges in the US and only a handful are so selective that they won’t take you. Hopefully, you look at things differently than your essay indicates.</p>
