<p>glassesarechic: Congratulations on all of your acceptances!</p>
<p>I guess it depends on the applicant pool and what the university is looking for. </p>
<p>My friend’s rejection really gave me a reality check. The level of the competition is crazy. </p>
<p>It’s strange for me to hear about all these schools who have at least 5 kids go to HYPS etc. No one from my school has ever gotten accepted into anything other than the state university. Maybe it’s the size of my school, but right now, my school and town are pretty much a joke because of what has happened in the last 9 months or so. I know that the bigger colleges don’t care, but it has affected everyone and it’s caused the quality of our education to decrease. </p>
<p>I guess I just have to make the most of it.</p>
<p>By the way, have you decided which university you’ll be attending? I hope you get into Yale, though. :)</p>
