Giving up, giving in (For the rejected and wait-listed)

<p>So far I've gone one for eight with acceptance letters and have only been accepted at my flagship state school. I'm waiting on three more letter, of which two are probably rejects/wait-lists in light of the results so far.</p>

<p>Now, going to my state school won't be bad or anything (CU Boulder) and makes enough financial sense that it was worthy of consideration over my reaches, however I can't help but have my ego bruised by four rejections and three wait-lists.</p>

<p>Is anyone else in the same place here? I feel that I've done pretty well as a student and it sort of sucks that I don't really have too much choice in where I end up going to school.</p>
