<p>HI CANADIANS
Just taking my frustration out on this forum. But I am so anxious about the upcoming day of doom - april 1 which is in less than a week! I’ve been accepted to almost all of the top business schools in Canada (minus Ivey which comes out this Tuesday). But I just feel that I’m not good enough for the ivies 
Does anyone else have that feeling? That they’re in this abysmal in-between place where you’re good enough for early acceptance into some of the top schools in the country but not good enough to be accepted to where you really want to go.
After going to some of the openhouses in Ontario to see some of the “best” schools in Canada, I want to go to ivies even more! I feel that I want to be somewhere better and somewhere where I am not feeling like I’m settling for second best.
It sucks too that I had to work so hard senior year to do all of my SATs since I was late to jump on the train of canadians who decide to apply to the U.S.
And being rejected by stanford isn’t exactly comforting either.
Anyways, finished my depressing little rant. Good luck to everyone who worked their butts off to be the best of the best, and early congratulations to everyone who gets in! You definitely deserve it 
Honestly, I think we all deserve kudos having come this far, regardless of whether we get in or not, and working hard through the entire heinous application process.</p>
<p>I feel the same way, but my perspective is that sure harvard college is amazing, but isnt harvard law school just a million times better then that? Grad school is much more important and much more objective(get 170+ LSAT, very high GPA) than undergrad admissions. So if you do get rejected everywhere this year, just try and excel wherever you are and ultimately try and get into an ivy grad school. The important message, no matter how cliche it may seem, is that it is not the university you go to, but what you make of the experience as a whole that makes it worthwhile or not. Obviously the fall in expectations/confidence will occur after April 1st, if unfortunately we don’t get accepted, but hey life goes on…</p>
<p>PS
I wrote this as much for you as I did for me. I’ve wanted to go to the ivies/top schools in the world since like grade 5 =P</p>
<p>LOL I want to go into law school too. Wow, grade 5! I actually never really considered it until september of my senior year. It sort of sucks cause I never knew about AP’s (my school didnt have them), SATs, and this whole ridiculous admissions process. I just feel that all the odds are stacked against me and my whole life, I’ve always worked hard, put my best to the stuff I did, and I almost always succeeded. This is just basically like working your butt off and trying your best and still have nothing to show for it in the end.
Oh well, I hope that if I do get rejected everywhere, I can look back on it in the future and take something away from the experience and that I don’t get discouraged to apply for grad school at an ivy. good luck to you !</p>
<p>I think Tufts and JH go out today. Be open minded about Ivies as they are so hard to get into.</p>
<p>“too much pressure 'n i’m nervous!”</p>
<p>Good luck to all!</p>
