<p>@AnnieBeats I definitely disagree. Many people don’t get that sort of opportunity. I had no research experience and got into nearly every excellent school I applied to (Granted, wait listed @ Stanford and Columbia so maybe you should not listen to me hahaha)…
Still, you’ve tried your best to acquire these opportunities. It didn’t work out. Don’t fret and don’t dwell on it. Do something else to make yourself better. If colleges are going to penalize you for these missed attempts, why would you want to go there? It just speaks to how INSANELY competitive their school is and how miserable the students end up becoming. It’s a bit off topic, but take a look: <a href=“The myth of the Ivy League | Parenting”>The myth of the Ivy League | Parenting;
