<p>Ben Golub and inverse:</p>
<p>Thanks for your comments and your support. I get my decision tomorrow (I hope; otherwise, I’m going to go down to the post office and give them a piece of my mind). I’d really like to put all this behind me, although I think it’s important to debate things such as this. I got into a similar discussion a while back about affirmative action at MIT, and when such large issues are at stake determining the futures of so many people, it really is a shame to just ‘let things go’. Even if I am accepted, which I doubt I will be (and I’ll blame it on standardized test scores if I’m not :D), I’ll still occasionally come back here and lightly debate some of these issues, if they ever arise again. Although holding such a strong position on these issues is hardly necessary, keeping these issues in the back of one’s mind can’t hurt anyone, and I think it’s quite important that everyone does.</p>

<p>Hopefully, no bad feelings. I’m coming to Michigan to hug you if I get in. (I’m not joking.)</p>
