<p>wow. college admissions can be a really discouraging period. never thought i'd think so lowly of myself. im still waiting on bu decision but i can see the thin envelope right now.</p>
<p>congratulations so far to all the acceptees and good luck to those who were werent!</p>
<p>I need to use this rejection against some of my"your black so you will get in" naysayers.</p>
<p>i like to think when people say they're a "shoe in" their chances are slim.</p>
