What will you do when you get rejected?

Oh my goodness, who knows, and why does it matter? I’ll eat a fair bit of chocolate, have a rejection letter burning party with my friends, and enroll in whatever school will be lucky enough to have me. Then I’ll go on with my life.

Seriously, though, my future is pretty darn bright, no matter where I do or don’t go to school. I’m young and smart. I’m making epic gap year plans with my best friend, I’m going to travel the world, I’m going to study science, I’m going to do what I love for the rest of my life.

This applies to the rest of you, too. If we are truly realistic applicants to Harvard - regardless of the decision we receive - we’re the top of the class of 2013, and we have the entire world at our fingertips. I really don’t mean to sound arrogant; I’m just excited for us! We have worlds of opportunities waiting for us, and that’s true whether or not we end up at Harvard.
