<p>stanfordgirl, you make some good points. </p>
<p>but it’s not right for you to try and characterize everyone who was rejected, or try to paint yourself as being somehow superior to them. </p>
<p>we don’t know the circumstances of people who were rejected. just know that there were many people who put just as much of themselves into their applications as you did, and were rejected, and for no immediately apparent reason. some compassion would be in order, at least for those people’s sake.</p>
