<p>Did you read my post, or did you just look at one word and decide to go on a little rant about it?</p>
<p>This article is cruel, because not everyone who is rejected from his or her top choice school has the privilege of falling back on Columbia, WUSTL, ND, Chicago, Stanford, Tufts, Carleton, Brown, etc.</p>
<p>It’s as snarky as those kids who claim: “Oh, I was crushed by my Harvard rejection, but now that I’m at Yale/Princeton, I realize it isn’t so bad.” </p>
<p>“I was rejected from my top choice school, but I managed to succeed at life despite attending Yale! Ho ho ho!”</p>
<p>It’s cruel to all those hard-working and ambitious students who are rejected by Harvard and have to attend Podunk U. or Second Tier U. instead.</p>
