<p>I have not yet read Devil Wears Prada, but I hear it is a great book.
I think I can relate to “real success,” not a diploma. I do not have a perfect GPA. But take a look at my ECs: all of it is related to my passion in the social sciences. I built it up myself from the bottom up, without help from my parents. It took a lot of outreach and self-reading, but I did it.</p>
<p>I was so driven on Yale because I had the mentality of that news article. But yes, school does not make or break lives.</p>
<p>And, congratulations and thank you on your intent to enlist.</p>
