<p>I was honestly pretty annoyed by the essay. I didn’t find it too humorous and I honestly felt that she was extremely whiney. I’m honestly exhausted of hearing students in my own school complain the same way. I’m sorry but a 2120 SAT score and a 4.5 GPA doesn’t make you anything special. There are thousands and thousands of applicants with the same stats. I’m sure at least half of the applicants had competitive stats. Get over yourself. </p>
<p>I was upset getting waitlisted/rejected by what I thought were match or even high safety schools. The admission process is competitive. </p>
<p>My advice to younger students is to keep your expectations low. Expect rejections and wait lists, even when the stats say otherwise. Then you’ll be greatly surprised with the good news! (As was I with Ross).</p>
<p>And to those who say “all of my hard work is wasted” because they were rejected by the top 10 schools in the nation, LOL. Arrogance at it’s finest.</p>
