<p>Another thing to remember, once you get out of college, and get into the workforce, nobody gives a rats a$$ where you went to school. Just produce. Be creative. Be resourceful. Do what you say your going to do when you say you are going do it. Be accountable when you fail and learn from those mistakes and you will be successful.</p>
<p>There are a lot of f-ups coming out of the ivies and a lot of success storys coming out of the Chico States and Towsons and SUNY Albany.</p>
<p>Decide on a school you have gotten into already and look forward. Look back only to understand the lessons you learned from the experience, then move on.</p>
<p>Make the best of the situation you are in. Look at your situation from different angles. Think of the wisdom the schools that chose you have demonstrated and what morons the ones that didn't are. Ask yourself why you would want to go to a place that didn't want you? </p>
<p>Also, I don't know if you are doing tris right now or not, but if you're not, find an international distance or sprint distance race near you and sign up for it. Train and finish it. You will feel great. Enter a bunch of 10Ks and run those. Start doing stuff where you push yourself and accomplish something. It will help change your perspective.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
