<p>Send it. If any school cannot appreciate the rolling emotions of college admissions, and if they cannot accept or have lost site of the fact that their wonderful marketing brochures, sexy info sessions, world class research, cozy basketball games on TV, and magnificent campuses, actually do make 16 and 17 year olds fall in love, then you DO NOT WANT TO GO THERE. Don’t be a dog wagged by the tail (is that the expression.) Be brave and take a risk. I bet you that lots of the other deferred students out there wish they could submit a personal publication from a national media outlet. 
Happy New Year</p>
