The sad reality is that when it comes to the selective schools – they choose you, not the other way around.
Think of the elite college admissions as the lottery that it is. Have a game plan with backs ups and a safety you love.
Yea, it hurts to be rejected. So let yourself feel bad… be nice to yourself… and then focus on the opportunities still ahead.
If you applied widely, you WILL get into a good school. And all that hard work you put in high school will help you be A ROCK STAR at that good school. Chin up.
You have years of excitement, fun, learning, discovering and growing to look forward to. It’ll be great. I promise!
